Careful concrete work for your homestarting with the ground beneath it
Manhattan Beach Concrete is a concrete contractor in Manhattan Beach, CA. I started it in 2020, after learning under a strict old-school boss who had me pull and reset forms until they were straight, and I still run every job that way.
We're best known for flatwork, the driveways, patios, walks and steps around a house, and we also build lots, walls and foundations for property owners. Concrete doesn't forgive a rushed job, so I'd rather explain each step than hurry one. You can read more about us and how we work.

Our concrete servicesfor homes and commercial properties
A new driveway poured over a base we dig out and pack, sloped so rain runs away from the house and garage.
For outdoor meals and quiet evenings, a patio sized to your yard and pitched so water doesn't pool by the back door.
Stamped concrete gives a slab the look of stone, brick or tile, pressed into the surface while it's still soft.
Walks to the front door, side yard or gate, poured flat and even, without lifted edges to catch a toe.
Your garage gets a slab thick enough for cars and storage, finished smooth so it's easy to sweep and seal.
Color, exposed stone and custom edges for homeowners who want their concrete to suit the house, not just cover the ground.
When a yard slopes, a reinforced concrete wall holds the soil back and gives you level ground you can actually use.
Interior floors for homes, shops and workspaces, poured level and ready for the covering or finish you have planned.
Around the pool, a deck with a textured finish for better footing, sloped so splash water runs off instead of sitting.
Front or back steps built with even risers, so each step is the same height and easy to trust.
A slab foundation for a new home, addition or outbuilding, poured on prepared ground with rebar, the steel bars that help hold it together.
Foundations for houses and other buildings, formed and poured to the plans so the framing starts on a true, level base.
Property owners get a lot laid out for traffic and drainage, with a thicker slab where cars and trucks turn and stop.
Footings are the concrete under a wall, post or addition that spreads its weight, and we dig and pour them to the plans.
If part of a slab or foundation has sunk, we lift it back toward level and look at what let it settle.
Clean saw cuts through concrete for doorways, trenches or repairs, plus control joints, the grooves that give a slab a planned place to crack.
We often plan a driveway, walk and steps as one job so they meet cleanly. Size, tear-out and prep move the price, permits and weather move the schedule, and your written estimate shows what's included.
From first call to finishthe way each job runs

Call (424) 452-9329 or send the form with a few details about the job. We reply within one business day to set a time for me to come out.
Your written estimate
I come out, look at the site and listen to what you need before I take a single measurement. Your free written estimate says what's included, with no obligation.
Permit, forms and pour
Once you say yes, we file any permit our work needs and set a pour date that suits the site. Our crew forms, pours and finishes while I check it.
Walkthrough and curing
We walk the finished job with you and explain curing, the wait while the concrete gains strength before it's ready to use. Then we pack up.

Why customers choose usin Manhattan Beach and nearby
I'll explain each step and why we do it, and I'll tell you what concrete normally does before you decide anything.
The owner from quote to finish
I give the estimate myself and stay with the job until it's done, so the person who quoted your work is the one seeing it built.
Grade and drainage set first
We set the forms, grade and drainage before any concrete is ordered, because the slope and the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, decide how it holds up.
Straight talk about cracks
Concrete shrinks as it cures, so a hairline crack is normal, and I'll tell you that before we pour. Control joints give that shrinking a planned place to show.
Permit paperwork for our part
We find out which city or county office oversees your address and handle the permit paperwork for our part. Work reaching the sidewalk or street comes up at the estimate.
A tidy site, a respected street
We keep the job tidy, clean up before we leave and treat your street and your neighbors with respect while our crew is there.
Your say at the walkthrough
Your satisfaction, guaranteed. Please tell me anything that bothers you on the walkthrough, because I'd rather talk it through while the crew is still at your house.

Concrete questions, answered
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Manhattan Beach?
The price depends on the driveway's size, how much old concrete has to come out, the base work under it and the finish, so I'll give you a figure once I've seen the site. A plain broom finish, a light brushed texture that gives tires and shoes some grip, costs less than stamped or colored work. Your free estimate comes in writing and says what's included.
Why do some concrete quotes come in so much cheaper than others?
Usually the difference is in the base, because it's hidden on day one and it's the easiest place to cut. A base that's raked level instead of dug out and packed tends to settle with the dirt and take the slab with it. I'd rather spend your budget there and keep the finish simpler, and I'll show you that choice on the estimate.
How long will I be without my driveway after new concrete is poured?
You can usually walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because it keeps gaining strength as it cures. I'll tell you the days for your job at the estimate, since the slab and the weather change them, so you can plan around the pour.
Is Manhattan Beach Concrete licensed and insured?
Yes, Manhattan Beach Concrete is licensed and fully insured. In Manhattan Beach, business licensing is handled by the City's Finance Department.
When can concrete work start after I hire a contractor in Manhattan Beach?
Where a permit is needed, work and inspections can only begin after the City has approved and issued it, so we plan your start date around that approval. Once it's issued, only a contact listed on the permit can ask for inspections.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Yes, our promise is your satisfaction, guaranteed. Before we pour, I go over what concrete normally does, so you can judge the finished job against what you were told.
What makes a concrete driveway or patio last longer?
The slab's thickness, the steel in it and the timing of the pour matter as much as the finish on top. A driveway gets a thicker slab than a walk because it carries cars, we add rebar where the job calls for it, and we plan pours away from the midday heat, because a top that dries too fast can turn weak and dusty later.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Manhattan Beach?
It depends on the job, and the City's Community Development department is the place to ask, since it takes permit applications for construction, repair, alteration and demolition projects. Its list names most excavation and pool installations, and plans submitted now follow the 2025 California Building Codes, in effect as of January 1, 2026. Work on a sidewalk, alley or public street may also need permits from Traffic Engineering or Public Works.
