Stamped & Decorative Concrete · Santa Monica, CA
Professional stamped & decorative concrete 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.
Salt air off the water works on exposed concrete near the pier and the Santa Monica Beach.
How we get stamped & decorative concrete right
Stamped concrete gives you the look of stone, brick, or wood plank without the joints that pavers open up and the weeds that grow through them. We pour the slab, broadcast color, then stamp the texture into the fresh concrete before it sets and seal it once it cures. Done right it is one monolithic slab - no shifting units, no re-leveling - and in LA's dry climate the sealer holds its color for years between refreshes. We do full stamped patios and driveways as well as borders and banding that dress up a plain broom-finish pour. Color and pattern are chosen on real samples at your house, in your light.
Every Santa Monica job starts with an upfront, flat quote and finishes with workmanship you can count on.
