Concrete Contractor in Del Aire, CA - Driveways and Patios Built on a Solid Base
Manhattan Beach Concrete builds driveways, patios, walks, steps and slabs for homes in Del Aire, CA. We're based in Manhattan Beach, and we dig out and pack the base properly before any concrete arrives.
Concrete contractor in Del Airebuilding from the base up
In Del Aire we mostly pour driveways, patios, walks and steps for family homes, as we do in nearby Hawthorne and El Segundo. The price turns on the size, the old concrete coming out and the base, and the schedule turns on any permit and the weather.
Del Aire is an unincorporated community, so Los Angeles County acts as its local government. Where a job calls for a permit, LA County Public Works issues it, and we prepare and file it for our part of the work.
Please call (424) 452-9329 or send us the form, and I'll come out and put your price in a written estimate.
Concrete services in Del Airefor homes and property owners
Here's the work we take on in Del Aire, from a cracked driveway or a sunken walk to a new slab, a wall or a parking lot.
- Concrete driveway building New driveways poured thicker than a patio, because they carry the weight of your car every day.
- Concrete patio construction A backyard slab for a table and chairs, sized to your yard and the way you'll use it.
- Stamped concrete services Stamped patterns and color pressed into a fresh patio or walk, picked from samples at the estimate.
- Concrete sidewalk building Front walks and side paths with a broom finish, a light brushed texture that gives shoes some grip.
- Garage floor concrete Garage slabs with rebar, the steel bars inside that hold the concrete together if it cracks.
- Decorative concrete Exposed stone, colored borders or a smooth sealed look for an entry, chosen to suit the house.
- Concrete retaining walls Where a yard steps down, a poured wall holds the soil back so it stays off your patio or drive.
- Concrete floor installation Interior slabs for rooms and additions, poured flat and level over a base we've packed first.
- Concrete pool decks Pool decks with a textured finish that's kinder to bare, wet feet than smooth concrete.
- Concrete steps construction Front and back steps formed straight and even, so each one feels the same height underfoot.
- Slab foundation building Slab foundations for garages and additions, set on a packed subgrade, the soil the slab rests on.
- Foundation installation Foundations for new buildings on your lot, with every form checked straight and square before the truck comes.
- Concrete parking lot building Parking areas for owners of rentals and businesses, with a thicker slab and base for cars every day.
- Concrete footings Footings for walls, posts and additions, dug and formed to the depth and size the plans call for.
- Foundation raising When part of a slab or foundation has settled, I look at why it moved before we talk about lifting it.
- Concrete cutting Saw cuts that take out one damaged section cleanly, so the rest of the slab can stay.
Why Del Aire homeowners choose usfor prep done before the pour
I come out myself, I explain what concrete normally does before I promise anything, and I stay involved until the job is finished, so you know what to expect at each step.
Licensed and fully insured in California
The Contractors State License Board licenses and regulates contractors across California, and we're licensed and fully insured. Your satisfaction, guaranteed, is the one promise we make.
The base gets the budget
If the budget is tight, I'd rather spend it on a dug-out, packed base than on a fancier surface, because a slab settles with whatever it sits on.
Joints cut on time
Concrete shrinks and cracks as it dries, so we cut control joints on time, shallow grooves that give the crack a straight line to follow.
Water checked before we form
Before we set a form, we look at where the water runs on your lot, so the new slab falls away from the house instead of toward it.
Curing explained before the pour
Curing is the wait while new concrete hardens before you use it, and I'll tell you at the estimate how long to keep feet and cars off yours.
How a job runsfrom your call to the walkthrough
You get a written estimate before you decide anything, and I explain each step before it happens, so nothing on your side comes as a surprise.
You call or write
Please call (424) 452-9329 or send the form with a few lines about your driveway, patio or slab. We'll set a time for me to come out.
I look and listen first
I look at the job and listen before I take a measurement, then you get a written estimate that says what's included. Work that reaches the sidewalk, curb or street goes into that plan.
Permit, forms and the pour
Once you say yes, we handle any permit for our part and set a pour date that suits the site. Our own crew forms, pours and finishes, and I check it as it goes.
We walk it with you
We walk the finished job with you before we pack up and go over anything you'd like to ask. Thank you for keeping off it until it has cured.
What Del Aire asks of concreteand how we plan for it
Here's what we usually run into on Del Aire homes, and how we plan the concrete around it.
Hot summer afternoons
Afternoon heat dries the top of fresh concrete too fast and can leave it weak and dusty, so we plan pours for cooler morning hours.
A driveway out of use
Your car can't sit on a new driveway while it cures, so we talk through where you'll park before we set the pour date.
Sunken old slabs
When we break out a sunken slab, we check what it sat on, so the new base deals with the cause.

Our concrete work in Del Airefor homes people plan to keep
More Del Aire homes are owned than rented, so the people we meet here usually plan to live with the new slab for a long time. That suits us, since careful flatwork, the flat pours like driveways, patios and walks, is what we're best known for.
Since the county issues permits here, a couple of checks help before you sign with anyone. The county's Z-Net tool shows whether your address is unincorporated, because a ZIP code alone can't always tell you. The state board also caps a home improvement down payment at $1,000, and less on smaller jobs.
