Concrete that sits squareon homes and businesses in Lancaster
L&M Lancaster Concrete Construction pours flatwork, the driveways, patios, walks and floors, plus the foundations under homes and small businesses in Lancaster, CA and the cities around it. I learned the trade under a foreman who'd make me tear out crooked forms until they were dead straight, and I still set them that way.
Concrete doesn't give you a second try, so we do it right the first time, and I'd rather pass on a job than pour something I'd have to apologize for. You'll know exactly what you're getting before we start. There's more about us and how we work.
- Homes and small businesses welcome
- Work done by a crew I trained
- Clear answers before work starts
Our concrete servicesfrom the driveway to the foundation
A new driveway dug out, built on a packed base and finished so your car and the rain both go where they should.
Room outside for a table, a grill and the chairs, poured level and pitched so water runs away from the house.
Stamped concrete gives you the look of stone, brick or slate pressed into the surface, with the strength of a regular slab.
Front walks and side paths set straight and even, with joints cut so the cracks land where we choose.
When a garage floor is cracked, sunken or chipping, we break it out and pour a new slab that sits flat.
Color, texture and exposed stone for concrete people actually look at, on a patio, an entry or a walk.
Poured walls that hold back a slope and give you flat, usable ground, with drainage behind them so pressure doesn't build.
Interior floors for shops, additions and commercial spaces, poured flat enough to take equipment, racking or a finished floor on top.
A pool deck with a textured finish for wet feet, sloped so splash water drains away from the pool.
New steps to your door or porch, every riser the same height so nobody catches a toe on the odd one.
The slab under a new house, addition, garage or shop, with the ground packed and the steel set before anything gets poured.
Foundations for new buildings and additions, formed square and level so the framing that goes on top starts out true.
For businesses and multi-unit properties, a concrete lot that takes daily traffic, with drainage and layout worked out before the pour.
Footings are the buried concrete that spreads a load into the ground. We pour them for walls, posts, additions and patio covers.
When part of a slab or foundation has settled, we work out why before we raise it, so the fix addresses the cause.
Clean saw cuts through slabs and walls for new doorways, plumbing runs or a section that needs to come out.
Most properties mix a few of these, a driveway with a walk and steps, say. Size, prep and finish move the price, and weather and cure time move the schedule. Your written estimate lists what's included.

Permit, prep and pour
If you hire us, we sort out any permit, dig out and pack the base, set the forms, then pour and finish the concrete.
Cure and walkthrough
We let the concrete cure, the slow hardening that gives it strength, then walk the finished job with you before we call it done.

Why Lancaster calls usfor concrete that comes out right
You'll hear what your job needs, what it doesn't and what concrete will and won't do before we start, and then we do what we said.
Same person from quote to pour
I measure and price your job myself, and I'm on site for the pour, so nothing gets lost between what you were told and what gets built.
Straight answers, cracks included
Concrete cracks, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. I'll tell you what yours is likely to do before you sign, so nothing surprises you later.
An estimate you can compare
Your written estimate says what's included and what isn't, line by line, so you can set it beside other bids and compare them fairly.
The base gets the budget first
The base is hidden on day one, so it's the first thing people want to cut. I won't, because what's under the slab decides how it holds up.
Permits handled for your address
If your job needs a permit, we check which office covers your address and handle the paperwork and inspections, so you're not the one stuck on hold.
Square, level and as quoted
We've been at this since 2013, and what we're known for is flatwork and foundations that come out square, level and the way we said they would.

Questions we get asked
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Lancaster, CA?
It depends on size, how much ground prep the site needs, whether old concrete comes out and the finish you pick, so I give you a number after I've measured. Stamped or colored work costs more than a plain broom finish, the light brushed texture that gives tires and shoes some grip. Your written estimate shows exactly what that number covers.
Is it cheaper to pour new concrete over my old slab?
It looks cheaper up front, but it usually isn't worth it, because the cracks and settling in the old slab tend to show up in the new one. Breaking out and hauling off the old concrete adds cost, but then you're building on ground we can actually check.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
Walking on it comes first and driving comes later, because concrete keeps gaining strength well after it looks hard, and I'll tell you what to expect for your slab before we pour. Rush it and you can mark or crack a slab that would've been fine, so plan on parking somewhere else for a while.
Is your concrete company licensed and insured in Lancaster?
Yes, we're fully licensed and insured. The city of Lancaster also requires any contractor pulling a permit there to have a city business license on file, plus a workers' comp certificate where one applies.
What do you do to the ground before pouring concrete?
We dig out to firm soil and pack the subgrade, the dirt the slab actually sits on, because a slab poured over loose dirt that's only been raked level settles right along with it. We also check where the water runs, so the finished slab falls away from your house and not toward it.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Yes, satisfaction guaranteed on every job. Because the written estimate lays out what's included, we both know going in what a finished job looks like, and we walk it together at the end.
Will my new concrete crack like the old slab did?
It may get a hairline crack or two, because all concrete shrinks as it cures, but good prep and control joints usually keep cracks small and in the right places. Control joints are grooves we cut so the crack runs along a line we chose, and rebar, steel bars laid inside the slab, helps hold the pieces together where the job calls for it. Most bad cracking traces back to a weak base or joints cut too late.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Lancaster?
It can, because Lancaster's Building and Safety division issues permits for any work that physically changes or adds value to your property, and the permit has to be in hand before work starts. Some retaining walls are exempt, generally those no more than 4 feet from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall that aren't holding back extra load above them. If your job needs one, we take care of it.
