Do I need a permit for concrete work in Los Angeles County?

Permits are required for certain types of concrete construction, such as structural foundations, retaining walls, and hillside work. For flatwork like driveways or patios, permits may not be necessary in all cities. Concrete Etc., Inc. guides you through the process for San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita, Altadena, Pasadena, and Pacific Palisades projects.

How long does concrete take to cure?

Concrete typically reaches initial strength in 24 to 48 hours, allowing light foot traffic. Full curing for driveways, patios, and structural slabs can take 28 days. During this period, Concrete Etc., Inc. recommends keeping surfaces free from heavy loads to ensure long-term durability.

What causes cracks in concrete?

Hairline cracks are a natural part of concrete curing and are not considered defects. Larger cracks can result from soil movement, tree roots, or improper maintenance. Concrete Etc., Inc. uses proper reinforcement, control joints, and site preparation to minimize cracking.

Do you service hillside properties?

Yes. We specialize in hillside concrete construction, including caissons, grade beams, and retaining walls in Los Angeles County, San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita, Altadena, and Pacific Palisades.
