About Hawthorne
Hawthorne delivers honest, working-class value in a region where home prices have skyrocketed, a city of post-war tract homes built in the 1950s and 60s for aerospace workers and their families. Today, these modest ranch homes on 5,000-7,000 square foot lots house a diverse community of families, many drawn by the relatively affordable home prices and proximity to aerospace giants like SpaceX, headquartered just down the street. Hawthorne's housing stock is straightforward: single-story ranches with attached garages and backyards designed for swing sets and barbecues. Many of these homes haven't seen significant outdoor updates since they were built, original concrete patios, chain-link fencing, and landscapes that could use refreshing. The city's inland location means warmer temperatures than the beach cities, making shade structures and smart irrigation essential. Hawthorne homeowners are budget-conscious and practical, seeking improvements that add real value and usability without unnecessary frills. Durable materials, low-maintenance designs, and functional layouts rule here, outdoor spaces that work hard for families who work hard.
Whether you're looking to increase your home's value, improve outdoor living, or address specific property challenges, our Hawthorne contractors are ready to help. We also offer complementary services including concrete patio and driveway to create a comprehensive transformation for your property.

FAQ
Stamped Concrete FAQ for Hawthorne Homeowners
How long does stamped concrete last?+
With proper installation and maintenance, stamped concrete lasts 25-30 years or more. The key is a solid base, proper concrete mix, quality sealer, and resealing every 2-3 years. We build to last and provide care instructions for long-term durability.
Is stamped concrete slippery when wet?+
Stamped concrete can be slippery when wet, but we address this by adding anti-slip additives to the sealer or using textured patterns. For pool decks and high-moisture areas, we always recommend slip-resistant finishes for safety.
Can stamped concrete crack?+
All concrete can develop hairline cracks over time. We minimize this through proper base preparation, control joints, and quality concrete mixes. If cracks do occur, they're usually subtle and blend with the pattern. We can also repair cracks if needed.
How do I maintain stamped concrete?+
Maintenance is simple: sweep or rinse regularly, clean with mild soap as needed, and reseal every 2-3 years. Avoid harsh chemicals and deicing salts. We provide detailed care instructions and offer resealing services to keep your surface looking great.
Can you stamp over existing concrete?+
In some cases, yes. Concrete overlays can be applied over existing concrete and then stamped. However, the existing surface must be in good condition. We'll assess your current concrete and recommend the best approach during your consultation.
What patterns and colors are available?+
We offer dozens of patterns including ashlar slate, cobblestone, brick, wood plank, and natural stone textures. Colors range from earth tones to bold hues, and we can match or complement your home's exterior. Samples are available at your consultation.
