Carlsbad Concrete Group is San Diego County's leading specialist in poured concrete flatwork and walls, specializing in estate driveway repours, salt-finish pool decks, and cantilevered retaining walls. We offer exposed aggregate entries and horse barn wash racks.
Our team provides slab-on-grade ADU foundations, delivering solid, level ground for homes and dependable pours for both residential and commercial projects. Backed by 11 years in business and a 1-year written workmanship warranty from the day the concrete is placed, we've completed over 1,460 projects, from eight poured entry steps to a phased apartment drive aisle.
From shooting grades with a laser level and setting forms to cutting control joints the same day, our team handles every detail. Serving Carlsbad and neighboring Rancho Santa Fe, Poway, Bonsall and Fairbanks Ranch, we put a named person on your job at every stage, and you meet each of them below.

What you can hold us to
Owner
Marco started as a concrete finisher on North County tract jobs and opened Carlsbad Concrete Group 11 years ago. He still walks every estate drive and retaining wall layout before it is quoted, and checks the base and steel before a truck is called.
Location Manager, Carlsbad
Kelsey runs the coast schedule from the Carlsbad yard, from the first site walk to the final walkthrough, and handles every Carlsbad, Encinitas, Solana Beach and Del Mar job.
Location Manager, Rancho Santa Fe
Devon covers the estate side of the business: Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch, Elfin Forest and Harmony Grove, including long private drives, sport courts and barn slabs.
Location Manager, Poway
Luis manages the inland jobs in Poway, Bonsall and Lake San Marcos, where clay soils, horse property and longer truck routes change how a pour is planned.
Estimator
Natalie measures every job, shoots the grades and writes the itemized quote that names the tear-out, base, reinforcement, finish and joint layout.
Finishing Foreman
Tom leads the finishing crew on pour day: screeding, floating, stamping or broom finishing, and cutting the control joints before the slab can crack on its own.
Commercial Project Manager
Greg runs association, apartment and commercial work: site walks, submittals, phasing plans that keep entrances and parking open, and the punch list at closeout.
Natalie measures and quotes first, and most jobs are typically poured 1 to 3 weeks after a signed quote, longer when a permit is needed. Your location manager confirms the base depth, the steel and the finish, and books any inspection before the truck is ordered. Tom's crew then places, finishes and saw-cuts the slab. Most 2-car driveway repours take an estimated 2 to 5 days, and cars typically stay off the new slab for about 7 days.
A broom-finish slab with our crew typically runs $6 to $13 per sq ft installed, and tear-out, thickness and the finish move it most. A stamped patio of about 400 sq ft is typically estimated at $3,200 to $7,600, and a pool deck replacement is estimated at roughly $4,800 to $18,000. We take a deposit of no more than 10% or $1,000, whichever is less, under California's home improvement deposit cap, then progress payments as the work is done.
These numbers are estimates and are subject to change, and broom-finish concrete typically runs $6 to $13 per sq ft installed while stamped concrete typically runs $8 to $19 per sq ft installed. The written quote Natalie prepares after the site walk sets the final price and the schedule, and it depends on the square footage, the access and how much old concrete comes out.
Homeowners trust a contractor they can put faces to, and every person on this page works for Carlsbad Concrete Group rather than as a one-day sub. The owner who checks your forms, the estimator who measures your slab and the foreman who finishes it all answer to the same yard. Tear-out and haul-off of old concrete is included in every replacement quote. You can see their finished work in our concrete project case studies.
Each part of North County has its own manager across our 35-mile radius, so a call from Del Mar or Bonsall reaches someone who knows the soil and the streets. Kelsey covers Encinitas concrete jobs, Solana Beach driveways and Del Mar steps and walks. Devon covers Rancho Santa Fe estate drives and Fairbanks Ranch sport courts. Luis covers Poway slabs and barns and Bonsall horse property.
Natalie usually measures the job and writes the quote, and the location manager for your city follows up with the pour date.
