The local standard
Concrete services in La Jolla, California since 2015
La Jolla Concrete Services has been pouring, repairing and sealing concrete in La Jolla, California since 2015. Eleven years in, we have torn out and replaced enough cracked driveways and settled patios to know how this town's soil, marine layer and steep lots treat a slab. We handle everything from a single walkway panel to a full foundation, and we finish every pour with the same crew that started it.
What separates us is simple: we are a licensed California contractor, we pull permits when the job needs them, and we do not sub the finish work out. If you are searching for an affordable concrete contractor La Jolla homeowners actually recommend, ask around Bird Rock or Windansea Beach. We mix on site with a concrete mixer and a bull float, we cut control joints at the right depth, and we come back to check the cure.

Concrete services we pour and repair
Every job starts with a walk of your property and a straight answer about what the concrete can and cannot do. If you have been hunting for Concrete services La Jolla California near me and getting voicemail, call us instead. We quote driveways, patios, walkways, stamped and decorative work, slabs, foundations and retaining walls across La Jolla.
Concrete Driveway Installation
New driveway pours from 400 to 1,200 square feet, formed, reinforced with rebar and wire mesh, and finished with a broom or exposed aggregate surface. We grade for drainage first, because a La Jolla driveway that puddles at the garage door is a driveway that will crack within two winters.

Concrete Driveway Repair
Cracked, spalled or sinking driveway slabs get mudjacked, patched or fully replaced depending on how far the subbase has moved. We saw out the failed section with a concrete saw, recompact the base, and pour a matched patch so the repair blends with the original finish instead of sitting there like a scar.

Concrete Patio Installation
Patios sized for the way you actually use the yard, from a 200 square foot Windansea Beach courtyard to a 900 square foot entertaining slab in La Jolla Farms. We set formwork, screed to fall, and finish with a light broom or salt finish that stays walkable when the marine layer leaves everything damp.

Concrete Patio Repair
Uneven patio slabs are usually a drainage or compaction problem, not a concrete problem. We lift settled sections, replace spalled panels, and re-cut expansion joints so water runs away from the house. Most patio repairs are done in one day and you can walk on the surface within 24 hours.

Concrete Walkway Installation
Walkways from the street to the door, around the side yard, or down to a lower terrace on a Mount Soledad slope. We pour 4 inch slabs over compacted base with control joints every 8 to 10 feet, which is what keeps a path from cracking along the same line every spring.

Concrete Walkway Repair
Trip hazards, hairline cracks and crumbling edges get fixed without tearing out the whole path. We grind high lips, patch spalled corners with a Rapid Set repair mortar, and re-seal the joints. If you have a homeowner's insurance walk-through coming, this is the cheapest way to pass it.

Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete gives you the look of slate, travertine or cobblestone at a fraction of the cost. We use release agents and textured mats, then hand-touch the edges so the pattern does not stop dead at the border. Popular on La Jolla Shores patios where natural stone would blow the budget.
Explore Stamped Concrete
Decorative Concrete
Acid stains, integral color, saw-cut geometric patterns and polished finishes. We mix admixtures and pigments into the truck load rather than painting color on top, so the tone does not wear off in the traffic lanes. Samples are poured before we commit your whole slab to a color.

Exposed Aggregate Concrete
Exposed aggregate is the finish that hides dog scratches and stands up to beach sand tracked in daily. We apply a retarder, wash the cream off at the right hour, and seal it once the slab has cured. It is our most requested finish for driveways in Lower Hermosa and Beach Barber Tract.

Concrete Slab Installation
Slabs for garages, additions, sheds, hot tub pads and equipment. We build the formwork, set rebar on chairs, and vibrate the pour to knock out voids so you do not end up with honeycomb at the edges. Standard residential slabs run 4 to 6 inches thick depending on load.

Concrete Foundation Repair
Foundation cracks, bowing stem walls and settling corners get evaluated, then repaired with epoxy injection, carbon fiber strapping or partial underpinning. We photograph the crack, measure it, and tell you whether it is cosmetic or structural before you spend a dollar on a fix.

Concrete Foundation Installation
New footings and stem walls for additions, ADUs and garages, built to California code and inspected before the pour. We coordinate with your engineer's stamped plans, set anchor bolts to Simpson Strong-Tie specs, and keep the trench dry until the truck arrives.

Concrete Retaining Wall Installation
Retaining walls for sloped lots in La Jolla Heights, La Jolla Mesa and Soledad South, where a failed wall means a slide into the neighbor's yard. We pour reinforced footings, key the wall into the slope, and install drainage gravel and weep holes so hydrostatic pressure never builds behind it.

Describe the problemWhy homeowners choose us
Why homeowners call our concrete services in La Jolla
Three things decide whether a concrete job lasts: the base under it, the mix in it, and the crew finishing it. We control all three, which is why we can warranty our workmanship and mean it. Here is what that looks like in practice.
From call to all clear
How a concrete job runs start to finish
You always know what happens next, what needs your approval, and how we confirm the repair worked.
Walk and measure
We come out, measure the area, check the base and drainage, and look at how the slab ties into the house, driveway or slope. You get a written scope and a fixed price, usually the same day you call.
Prep and form
We saw-cut and haul out old concrete, excavate to depth, compact the base in lifts, and set formwork to the right fall. Rebar or wire mesh goes in on chairs, and we call for inspection if the job requires one.
Pour and finish
The truck arrives, we place and vibrate the mix, then screed, bull float and finish with the texture you chose. Control joints get cut at the right depth within hours, while the concrete is still green enough to cut clean.
Cure, seal and walkthrough
We keep the slab curing under the right conditions, apply sealer once it is ready, and walk the finished job with you. You get care instructions for the first 7 days, when the concrete is still gaining strength.

Start with what you notice
Concrete problems we fix in La Jolla
Coastal La Jolla is hard on concrete. Salt air, fog, clay-heavy soil on the mesas and steep graded lots all work against a slab. These are the calls we get most, and what we do about each one.
Driveway cracked straight across after two winters
Cracks that run the full width are usually a control joint problem or a base that moved. We saw out the failed panel, recompact the subbase, and pour a replacement section tied into the existing slab with dowels so the repair does not just crack again in the same spot.
Patio slab sinking and pooling water against the house
Settled patios get lifted with mudjacking or foam injection when the slab is still sound, which costs a fraction of a replacement and takes a few hours. If the concrete is too far gone, we tear out and repour with proper fall away from the foundation.
White chalky film and flaking on a south-facing slab
That is efflorescence and scaling, and it means moisture is moving through the concrete. We clean it, address the drainage source, and seal with a breathable sealer rated for coastal exposure so the surface stops shedding.
Retaining wall leaning after heavy rain
A leaning wall is a drainage failure, not a concrete failure. We evaluate whether it can be reinforced or needs replacement, then rebuild with a reinforced footing, gravel backfill and weep holes so water never builds pressure behind it again.
Real local feedback
What La Jolla homeowners say
“Our driveway had a crack you could put a finger in and the garage flooded every time it rained. They tore out the old slab, regraded the whole thing, and poured a new exposed aggregate drive. Two winters later it still drains perfectly and the finish matches the walkway they did for our neighbor.”
“I got three bids for a stamped patio and theirs was the only one that explained how they would handle the slope behind the house. They poured samples so we could pick the color, and the crew cleaned up every day. The patio looks like real stone and cost about half of what a travertine install would have run.”
“Called about a retaining wall that was leaning after the last big storm. They came out the same afternoon, gave me a straight answer that it needed to come down and be rebuilt, and had it done in under two weeks with proper drainage behind it. No drama, no surprise charges on the final invoice.”

Questions before we arrive
Concrete services in La Jolla, California: common questions

Still unsure? Our team can help identify the safest immediate step and the right appointment type.
Ask us nowWho is the best concrete contractor in La Jolla?
The best concrete contractor in La Jolla is the one who shows you a license, a certificate of insurance, and a written scope before you sign anything. We have been pouring in La Jolla since 2015, we are licensed in California, and most of our work comes from repeat customers and referrals. Ask for references in your own neighborhood and call them.
How much do concrete services cost in La Jolla California?
Most residential concrete work in La Jolla runs $9 to $16 per square foot for a standard pour, and $18 to $32 per square foot for structural or decorative work in 2026. Small repairs and patches typically land between $650 and $1,800 per project. Steep lots, deep footings and permit requirements push the number up.
Is there a 24/7 concrete contractor near me in La Jolla?
We answer the phone around the clock for emergencies like a failed retaining wall after a storm or a slab that has become an immediate hazard, and we will get someone out to assess it. Standard pours and repairs are scheduled during business hours, Monday through Friday, with same-day estimates available if you call before noon.
How to choose a concrete contractor in La Jolla California?
Check three things: an active California contractor license, current liability and workers' comp insurance, and a written scope that lists square footage, slab thickness, reinforcement and finish. A contractor who will not put those in writing is a contractor who will argue with you later. Ask how they handle drainage on your specific lot.
What concrete services are available in La Jolla?
We pour and repair driveways, patios, walkways, slabs, foundations and retaining walls, plus stamped, decorative and exposed aggregate finishes. We also handle mudjacking, crack repair, spall patching, joint sealing and foundation crack injection. If it is made of concrete on your property, we can build it, fix it or replace it.
