Concrete Contractor in Hawthorne, CA - Driveways and Slabs Built on a Solid Base
Manhattan Beach Concrete builds driveways, patios, walks, steps and foundations for homes and property owners in Hawthorne, CA, with our own crew and the ground under the concrete dug out and packed properly first.
Concrete work in Hawthornebuilt on what's underneath
Most of our Hawthorne calls start with something you can see from the curb: a driveway that's cracked through, a walk that's lifted, or water sitting by the garage after rain. We bring the same careful prep here that we bring to Gardena and Lawndale next door.
The price moves with the size of the job, how much old concrete comes out, the base underneath and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on any permit and on curing, the wait before new concrete can take weight.
Please call (424) 452-9329 or use the form, and I'll come out, look at your concrete and give you an estimate.
Concrete services in Hawthornefor houses, yards and lots
We do the full range of concrete work in Hawthorne, from one cracked walk at a house to a new foundation or a business parking lot.
- Concrete driveway building Cracked or sunken driveways replaced on a dug-out, packed base, so the new slab doesn't settle with the dirt.
- Concrete patio construction Backyard patios sloped away from the house, so rain runs toward the yard instead of your foundation.
- Stamped concrete services A pattern pressed into fresh concrete, for a front walk or patio that looks like stone or brick.
- Concrete sidewalk building Walks lifted by roots or broken at the seams, torn out and poured again level underfoot.
- Garage floor concrete Pitted, cracked or stained garage floors replaced with a slab that drains toward the door.
- Decorative concrete Color, exposed stone and custom finishes for homeowners who want their concrete to look like more than plain gray.
- Concrete retaining walls Where one yard sits higher than the next, a wall that holds the soil, with footings and drainage planned before forming.
- Concrete floor installation Interior slabs for additions, workshops and commercial spaces, poured flat and finished for whatever goes on top.
- Concrete pool decks Pool decks with a broom finish, a light swept texture that gives wet feet some grip, sloped to shed splash water.
- Concrete steps construction Front and back steps rebuilt with even heights, so nobody catches a toe on the one that's taller.
- Slab foundation building Slab foundations for new homes, additions and garages, poured on subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, that we've dug out and packed.
- Foundation installation Foundations set to the plans you've had drawn, with the forms checked straight and square before the truck arrives.
- Concrete parking lot building Parking lots for Hawthorne businesses and apartment buildings, laid out so water runs to the drains and away from the doors.
- Concrete footings Footings for walls, posts, patio covers and additions, dug to the depth your plans call for.
- Foundation raising When a corner of the house has dropped, we look for the cause before anything gets lifted.
- Concrete cutting Clean cuts for new openings, trenches or a damaged section, without breaking up the slab around them.
Why Hawthorne calls usabout their driveways and slabs
I come out myself, explain what your concrete needs in plain terms and stay with the job until it's done, so you know what to expect from the first visit to the last.
The owner at your estimate
I look at the job and listen to what you need before I take a single measurement, and I stay involved until your concrete is finished.
Our own crew on your job
Our own crew does the forming, pouring and finishing, so the concrete isn't handed off to people you've never met.
The base comes before the finish
The base disappears once we pour, so it's the first place a budget gets trimmed. We'd rather spend there, because a slab settles with whatever is under it.
Forms straight before the truck comes
I learned this trade pulling and resetting forms until they were straight, and since starting this business in 2020 we've checked them before any concrete shows up.
Licensed, insured and easy to reach
We're licensed and fully insured. Your satisfaction, guaranteed. When you're ready to talk about your job, please call (424) 452-9329.
How a job runsfrom your call to cleanup
I'd like you to know what's coming at each stage, so here is how a job goes from your first call to the last look at your new concrete.
You call or write
Please call (424) 452-9329 or send the form with a few words about your concrete and what's wrong with it, and we'll set a time for me to come out.
I look, then write it up
I listen to what you need before I measure, and if the work reaches the sidewalk, curb or street I'll raise it then. Your written estimate says exactly what's included.
Permit, forms and the pour
Once you say yes, we take care of the permit side and set a pour date that suits your site. Our 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 I'll tell you when it can take feet and when it can take your car, since concrete keeps hardening for days afterward.
What Hawthorne asks of concreteand how we answer it
These are the problems we see most on Hawthorne driveways, walks and yards, and how we handle each one.
Cracks in random places
Cracks wander wherever they like when joints are cut late or skipped, so we cut control joints, shallow grooves that give cracking a chosen line, on time.
Water running toward the house
A driveway or patio that tilts toward the house sends rain to the foundation, so we check where water runs before we set forms.
Warm afternoons on pour day
Concrete placed in midday heat can end up with a weak, dusty top, so we time the pour and keep the surface from drying too fast.
