Superb Outdoors

Superb Outdoors builds driveways, patios and other hardscape in the Los Angeles area, working in interlocking pavers and poured concrete on residential and commercial properties. The company says it has placed more than four million square feet of poured concrete and completed over 800 paver installations, and it states that it is licensed, bonded and insured.

Homeowner projects make up much of its portfolio. Driveways are built in pavers or in standard or stamped concrete, with the material chosen around the owner's budget, appearance preferences and maintenance expectations. Beyond driveways, the company builds backyard patios, pool decks and pool installations, decks, walkways and side paths, and planter and garden walls, some designed to double as seating. Projects shown on its website include patios, steps and a pool deck in Glendale using Sand Stone-colored Angelus Courtyard pavers, along with a modern courtyard of large concrete slabs separated by gravel joints.

Commercial work includes parking lots built in reinforced concrete or interlocking pavers, with attention to ADA-compliant access and striping as well as drainage and grading. The company also installs entries and sidewalks for retail plazas and office buildings and heavy-duty surfaces for delivery driveways and loading docks.

Its installation process begins with a site review led by a project manager and a DigAlert request to mark buried utilities. Crews then excavate roughly 7 inches deep for patios and walkways and 9 inches for driveways, grade for drainage, and compact the Class 2 base to 95 percent density in line with concrete paving and ICPI standards. Paver jobs get a one-inch bed of clean sand, while concrete jobs are set up with forms, mesh reinforcement and joint spacing to control expansion.

Concrete driveways come with a one-year warranty on labor, and financing is available through the home-improvement lender Acorn, with loans of up to $100,000.
