Concrete Slabs & Flatwork · Los Angeles, CA
Professional concrete slabs & flatwork in Los Angeles
Los Angeles, CA at a glance
Los Angeles concrete lives on top of the basin's expansive clay soils, which swell through the winter rains and shrink across the long dry summer - the yearly movement that cracks driveways and lifts slabs poured on a thin base. From the flats of the Westside to the hillside lots of Silver Lake, Echo Park, and the Hollywood Hills, the right pour here starts with the ground: proper base compaction, the correct steel, control joints on a real grid, and a cure that respects the LA sun. New foundations, driveway aprons in the public right-of-way, and taller retaining walls all run through City permitting, which we handle.
Foundations, structural slabs, and retaining walls inside the city are permitted and inspected through the LA Department of Building and Safety.
A new driveway apron sits in the public right-of-way and needs a curb-and-driveway permit from the LA Bureau of Engineering.
The expansive-clay and seismic-hazard reality that drives our foundation details across the basin is mapped by the California Geological Survey.
How we get concrete slabs & flatwork right
Garage floors, shed and ADU pads, HVAC and generator slabs, and equipment bases all come down to the same thing done right: a compacted base, the correct thickness and reinforcement for the load, a level finish, and control joints in the right places. For an ADU or addition slab we pour to the engineered plan and coordinate with your other trades so the plumbing and conduit are set before the pour. For a garage or shop floor we can add a hard trowel finish or a sealer that shrugs off oil. Level, reinforced, and poured for what actually sits on it.
Every Los Angeles job starts with an upfront, flat quote and finishes with workmanship you can count on.
