Concrete work in Lake Los Angelesfrom a Lancaster-based crew
Most Lake Los Angeles calls are for driveways, patios and shop slabs on open lots. Price turns on size, thickness, how much dirt we dig out for the base and the finish. Schedule turns on any permit, the weather and curing, the wait while new concrete hardens.
Lake Los Angeles is unincorporated, so LA County Public Works issues the permits. The state licensing board requires a contractor license for permit jobs and any work of $1,000 or more in labor and materials. We're licensed and insured and handle any permit you need.
Call (661) 952-4153 or send the form, and I'll come out, measure and put your price in writing.
What we pour in Lake Los Angelesfor desert homes and shops
Every service we offer in Lancaster we also do in Lake Los Angeles, and each one starts with the ground under it.
- Concrete driveway building Long driveways off the road are common here, so we pack the base the full length and none of it sinks.
- Concrete patio construction A back patio that slopes away from the house, so rain heads for the yard instead of the foundation.
- Stamped concrete services Stamped patterns that look like stone or brick, on a slab prepped the same way as plain concrete.
- Concrete sidewalk building Walks from the drive to the front door, with joints cut so any cracks land where we planned them.
- Garage floor concrete When a garage floor has cracked and sunk, we break it out and start again from packed ground.
- Decorative concrete Color, exposed stone and borders for homeowners who want something more than plain gray on a desert lot.
- Concrete retaining walls Where a lot drops off or dirt keeps creeping, a concrete wall with steel inside holds the grade in place.
- Concrete floor installation Floors for shops, barns and outbuildings that need a slab level enough to roll equipment across.
- Concrete pool decks Pool decks with a broom finish, the light texture that keeps wet feet from slipping.
- Concrete steps construction Front and back steps with even risers, so nobody misses one coming out the door at night.
- Slab foundation building Slabs for new homes, additions and garages, dug, formed and checked square before any concrete shows up.
- Foundation installation Foundations for additions and outbuildings on open ground, set to carry exactly what you plan to build on them.
- Concrete parking lot building Parking areas for small businesses, built thick enough for the trucks and traffic they'll actually see.
- Concrete footings Footings for block walls, patio covers and sheds, poured to the depth the plans call for.
- Foundation raising If part of a house has settled with the ground under it, we find out why before we lift anything.
- Concrete cutting Clean saw cuts for a new doorway, a plumbing run or a section of driveway that has to come out.
Why Lake Los Angeles calls usplain answers and straight forms
I've run this business since 2013, and I learned on forms that had to be dead straight. Our promise is satisfaction guaranteed on every job, and you'll know what you're getting before we start.
Thickness matched to the load
We size the slab and the rebar, the steel bars that hold the concrete together, to what it'll carry, because a patio and a trailer pad aren't the same job.
A written estimate, nothing vague
Your estimate comes in writing, with what's included and what isn't spelled out, so nobody's arguing about the base or the haul-off halfway through.
The owner is there for the pour
The crew is one I trained myself, and I'm on site for every pour, because that's the hour of the job you can't redo.
Base first, finish second
The base is buried on day one, which is why it's the first thing people want to cut. We won't, because a nice finish on bad dirt cracks anyway.
Cracks where we choose them
Concrete cracks, it's practically a hobby. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that tell it where to crack, while the slab is fresh, so the cracks stay in the lines.
How a job runsfrom first call to final walk
I keep it simple. Nothing gets dug up until you've seen the price in writing and said yes, and the person who measured the job is there when the truck pours.
Call or send the form
Call (661) 952-4153 or send the form with your address and what you want poured. A rough idea of the size helps, but I'll measure anyway.
I come out and measure
I come out myself, look at the ground, measure and ask what the concrete has to carry. Then you get a written estimate.
Permit, prep, pour and cure
If you hire us, we handle any permit, prep, pour, finish and cure. The County wants a first inspection within 12 months of the permit, so we book it as work goes.
We walk it with you
Before we call it done, we walk the job with you, check the finish and the slope, and go over when you can walk and drive on it.
What Lake Los Angeles asks of concreteand how we plan around it
The high desert is hard on fresh concrete in a few predictable ways, and we plan every pour around them.
Frost and freezing temperatures
Frost and freezing temperatures are common around here, so we don't pour on frozen ground and cover new slabs while they cure.
Heat on pour day
On hot days we pour early, because concrete that dries too fast in afternoon sun ends up with a weak, dusty top.
Water with nowhere to go
When it does rain, water runs wherever the ground lets it, so we check the fall and slope every slab away from the house.

Tell us your address, what you want poured and roughly how big, and we'll reply within one business day. I come out for a free on-site estimate, in writing, with no pressure and no obligation.
Working in Lake Los Angelesand the cities around it
Lots in Lake Los Angeles tend to be big, and the slab spot is often a long way from where a concrete truck can park. We work out access during the estimate, not on pour day. It's the same crew we bring to Sun Village and California City.
