Concrete Patios · Santa Monica, CA
Professional concrete patios in Santa Monica
Santa Monica, CA at a glance
Santa Monica concrete faces the coast: salt-laden marine air that is hard on under-reinforced slabs and sandier soils near the beach that behave differently than the inland clay. Around the Third Street Promenade, the numbered streets, and the neighborhoods below Montana, lots are tight and access is often the hard part of the pour. We form patios and driveways to drain in the marine layer, use corrosion-appropriate reinforcement near the water, and work within the city's own building and coastal requirements.
Building permits and inspections for concrete work in the city run through the City of Santa Monica.

How we get concrete patios right
A patio is the one slab you actually live on, so it has to drain away from the house and stay comfortable underfoot in the LA heat. We set the pad with a slight fall so winter rain runs off instead of pooling at your back door, reinforce it, and finish it the way you want - a light broom for grip, a smooth trowel for a modern look, or a stamped and colored finish that reads like flagstone. We tie new patios into existing hardscape and set the elevation so there is no lip at the slider. Every patio is formed for the specific corner of the yard it lives in.
Every Santa Monica job starts with an upfront, flat quote and finishes with workmanship you can count on.
