Locally owned concrete work, based in Hawthorne
I started out writing concrete quotes for another company, then learned forming and finishing on a crew before starting Liberty Hawthorne Concrete. I did it so that what I write down is what we build, and that's still how every job here runs, from the first visit to the finish.

Call or send a request
Call (424) 307-8166 or use the form, and we'll reply within one business day to set a time for me to come out.
I visit and write it up
I measure, ask how you'll use the space and check the ground, then send a free written estimate that lists what's included and what isn't, with no obligation.
We pour, then walk it
Once you approve it, our crew forms, pours and finishes the work, and I come back to walk the finished job with you.
What we check before any concrete goes in
Most slabs last or fail on the ground and water beneath them, so I check both before writing an estimate.
Ground and base
- What the slab sits on
- How deep to dig out
- Packing the base firm
- Soft or settled spots
Water and slope
- Where rainwater runs now
- Slope away from the house
- Downspouts and low spots
Layout and pour
- Joints cut to guide cracks
- Steel reinforcement inside
- Pour time and heat
- Access for the concrete truck
The base matters more than the finish you see
When budgets get tight, the base is usually the first thing cut, because nobody sees it on day one. A slab poured on raked dirt settles and cracks along with it, so if something has to give, I'd simplify the finish and keep the base right.

The standard for every concrete job
These are the parts of the job we don't trim, no matter the size of the project.
Slope away from the house
We set the slope so rain drains off the slab and away from your walls, because a slab that tips toward the house sends water right where you don't want it.
Joints cut on time
Concrete shrinks as it hardens, so our crew cuts control joints, shallow grooves that give a crack a chosen line to follow, before cracks can start where nobody wants them.
A full cure before use
Curing, the wait while fresh concrete hardens, matters because a slab used too early can chip or crack, so we tell you when it's ready for feet and when for a car.
Common concrete questions in Hawthorne
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Hawthorne?
The price depends mostly on the size of the area, how much old concrete has to come out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you choose. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored concrete. Your written estimate lists what's included and what isn't, so you can see where the money goes.
How long will I be without my driveway after new concrete is poured?
That depends on how much tear-out and base work your job needs, and on the wait while the new slab hardens. You can usually walk on it well before you can drive on it. I'll go over what to expect for your job at the estimate, so you can plan around it.
What's included in a concrete estimate from Liberty Hawthorne Concrete?
Your estimate is in writing and spells out what's included and what isn't, from tear-out and base work to the finish. I come out myself to measure and write it, so the person who answers your questions is the one who saw the job. That also lets you compare our quote with others on equal terms.
How should I get my yard ready before a concrete crew arrives?
Mostly, clear the area and leave room for our crew and the concrete truck to get close. Move cars, planters and outdoor furniture, and tell us about any sprinkler lines you know of. Afterward, keep kids and pets off the fresh concrete until we say it's ready.
Should I choose a broom finish or stamped concrete for my patio or driveway?
For most driveways and walks, a broom finish is the practical choice, because its lightly brushed texture helps feet and tires grip. Stamped or colored concrete looks more like stone or brick and suits patios and pool areas, but it costs more and usually needs resealing over time. I'll tell you plainly which I'd pick for how you'll use the space.
Who handles concrete permits in Hawthorne, CA?
The City of Hawthorne's Building and Safety department processes permits for construction in the city, and its inspectors check the work against the approved plans. If your job needs one, I'll tell you at the estimate, and we handle the application and arrange the inspections. You can check its status on the city's online permit portal.
