Concrete Patio Construction in Beverly Hills CA - a level patio on a solid base
Cracked, sinking or pooling slab out back? We build a new concrete patio on a packed base so it drains right and stays even.
What does it take to build a concrete patio in Beverly Hills?
Concrete patio construction in Beverly Hills means building a new outdoor slab on a dug-out, packed base, with the thickness and steel matched to how you'll use it, so your patio stays level and sends water away from the house.
Most people call us when the old slab has cracked, sunk at one corner or holds water after the sprinklers run, and the cause is usually a base that was raked flat instead of dug out and packed. The price moves with the size of the patio, how much old concrete and soil has to come out, how easy it is to get the crew and the pour into your backyard, the steel and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on what the city asks for and on the weather, because a ready-mix trade group recommends early-morning pours on hot days to limit shrinkage cracks, so in summer we start early. After I look at the job, the written estimate lays out your options and what each one includes.

How much does a concrete patio cost in Beverly Hills?
The cost of a concrete patio in Beverly Hills comes down to its size, the finish and how much work the ground needs before the pour. Digging out old concrete or soft soil, getting the pour into a tight backyard, extra steel and a stamped or colored finish all add to the price, while a plain broom finish on an easy site keeps it lower. I'll give you your number in a written estimate after I see the yard.
Does a contractor need a license to build a patio in Beverly Hills?
Yes, for nearly any patio, because Beverly Hills lists a licensed contractor as a requirement for a permit on any project valued at $1,000 or more. The state's small-job exemption covers work up to $1,000 only when it needs no permit and the person doing it has no employees, so a patio of any real size falls outside it.
Can a landscaper pour a concrete patio in California?
Sometimes, yes. State license board guidance says a landscaping contractor may take on a single-trade contract such as concrete when the work is part of improving the grounds around a building. Either way, ask who will actually pour and finish your slab, and check that they hold a license.
How long does a new concrete patio need to cure before I can use it?
A new patio is ready for foot traffic well before it's ready for heavy planters, a grill island or furniture dragged across it, because curing, the slow hardening that gives concrete its strength, keeps going after the surface looks dry. The wait changes with the weather and the mix, so at the end of the job I give you the timing for your slab and how to look after it.
What causes a concrete patio to crack?
Most patio cracks come from a subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on, that was raked level instead of packed, from shrinkage as the concrete dries, and from ground that moves underneath. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a straight line to crack along, and set rebar, steel bars that hold the pieces together if a crack forms. No slab is crack-proof, but those steps decide where cracks go and help keep them tight.
How often does a stamped concrete patio need resealing?
Every few years, according to one stamped concrete field guide, so plan on it as a regular step if you choose a decorative patio. A fresh coat of sealer protects the color and the surface, and I'll point out what to watch for when we walk you through care.
Concrete patio construction in Beverly Hills
The city of Beverly Hills requires building permits for new construction, outside improvements and structural changes, so before we set a form we find out from the city what your patio needs and take care of the paperwork when it's needed. The city also splits single-family homes into the Central Area, the Hillside Area and Trousdale Estates, each with its own rules, and its Zoning Map shows which one you're in. For homes south of Santa Monica Blvd, the city's paving standards limit how much paving can go in the front yard setback, the open stretch between the house and the street, so for a front patio we measure what's already down before we lay out the new slab.
Some California lots sit on expansive soil, clay that swells with water and can lift and crack a patio. You can check yours through your home buyer's disclosures, the city's Building and Safety office or a soil engineer, and if a soils report is needed we tell you early. We're based in Beverly Hills and work across many of the cities around it, and we check for the same things on jobs in West Hollywood and Culver City.
