Concrete patio construction in Hermosa Beach CA - a patio built level on solid ground
Cracked, sinking or puddling patio? We dig out, form and pour a new one that's level, sloped to drain and comfortable underfoot.
What goes into a concrete patioand how we build yours
A concrete patio is flatwork, the flat slabs we form, pour and finish on the ground, like patios, walkways and driveways. If yours is cracked, tipping or holding water, the cause is usually underneath it. That's why concrete patio construction in Hermosa Beach starts with the ground and the forms before anyone thinks about the surface.
The price moves with the patio's size, whether an old slab has to come out first, the finish and how easy your yard is to reach. Yards are often tight around here. The schedule depends on any coastal approval, the weather on pour day and curing, which is the wait while new concrete hardens. Your written estimate gives your own figure.
You can count on a plain answer about what your patio needs and why, so call (424) 414-1585 whenever you're ready.
Concrete patio finishes and layouts
We match the finish and layout to how you'll use the space, from bare feet by a pool to a dining table or a path out to the side gate.
Broom finish
A broom finish is a light texture dragged across the fresh concrete so it grips when wet. It's the simplest patio surface to look after.
Stamped and stained
A pressed pattern adds texture, and an acid stain adds color depth without changing the texture. Our stamped concrete services page covers the pattern options in more detail.
Exposed aggregate by pools
Washing off the top layer leaves the stone showing, which gives bare feet good traction. One finish guide names it the best choice around pools for grip.
Patios with walkways
A patio often needs a path to the gate, the driveway or the side yard, so we can pour both and tie them together. Walkways have their own page under concrete sidewalk building.

Building here since 2021

First call to finished patiothe way we run it in Hermosa Beach
You deal with the same person from the site visit on. The written estimate spells out the work before you approve anything, so you know what's planned before we start.
Call or send the form
Call (424) 414-1585 or send the form with your address and a rough idea of the patio, and we'll find a time for me to come out.
Walk the site together
I walk the yard with you, check where water runs and talk through the finish and what the city or county may ask for. Then I send you a written estimate.
Permits, forms and grade
Once you approve the estimate, we handle any permit and book the inspections. Then we set the forms and check the grade, which is the slope of the ground, before any concrete arrives.
Pour day
The city allows construction 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, with none on Sundays or national holidays. We pour within those hours, and I'm on site.
Curing and care walkthrough
Before we leave, I go over curing and care with you, including how long to wait before you set furniture on the patio, so the new concrete isn't marked or weakened early.
Patio questions we hear
How much does a concrete patio cost in Hermosa Beach?
Your price comes from a written estimate after I see the yard, because size, the finish and the prep work move it more than anything else. If you're comparing bids, one Los Angeles patio guide says to check what a per-square-foot price includes. It lists old patio removal, digging, base preparation, reinforcing steel, the finish, access equipment, drainage and any required approvals. Our estimate lays out the work so you can compare it line by line.
What is the best finish for a concrete patio in Hermosa Beach?
A light broom finish or a lightly textured stamp suits most patios, according to one contractor's finish guide, because both grip when wet and stay smooth enough for bare feet and furniture. The same guide says stamped and stained finishes look worse than plain concrete when they're neglected. If resealing every two to three years isn't realistic for you, it says to pick a finish that doesn't depend on sealing. We'll help you choose a finish you'll actually keep up.
Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one?
It can. Control joints are the lines cut into the slab, and they're spaced to control where concrete cracks, not whether it cracks. Joints that are cut late or skipped are why cracks wander across old slabs. Ask every bidder where the joints will fall. We show you where ours will go before we pour.
Does a patio in Hermosa Beach need a coastal permit?
It might. Hermosa Beach says new development may need a Coastal Development Permit from the California Coastal Commission after the city approves the plan in concept, and the Commission defines development broadly. The Coastal Zone runs inland from the beach to Ardmore Avenue, with some exceptions. If you live in that area, raise the question early with the city's Planning Division at 310-318-0242. If your job needs a permit, we handle the application and book the inspections.
Who is allowed to build a concrete patio in California?
A licensed concrete contractor is the usual choice. California's Contractors State License Board describes that license as covering forming, pouring, placing and finishing flat concrete work. The board says a landscaping contractor may also take on concrete as a single trade when it's part of landscape work that improves the grounds around a building or on a lot. Either way, ask each bidder which license class covers your patio.
What causes water to pool on a concrete patio?
Pooling usually comes from a slab that doesn't slope away to where the water should go, or one that has sunk in spots as the ground under it settled. A slab that falls toward the house is the worst version, so we check where the water runs and set the grade to carry it away from your walls.
