Concrete Slabs & Flatwork

What Is Concrete Flatwork?

Flatwork is any horizontal concrete surface. This includes slabs for buildings, garage floors, equipment pads, basketball courts, and more. The goal is to create a level, durable surface that can handle weight and use without cracking or settling.

Proper flatwork takes more than just pouring concrete and smoothing it out. You need the right base preparation, correct thickness, proper reinforcement, and skilled finishing. When done right, a concrete slab can last for decades with minimal maintenance. We bring that level of expertise to every job, whether we're working on concrete foundations or simple storage shed pads.

Common Uses for Concrete Slabs

We install concrete slabs for a wide range of residential and commercial applications:

• Garage Floors: A smooth, durable floor that can handle vehicles, tools, and heavy equipment.
• Shed Foundations: Keep your storage shed level and protected from moisture and pests.
• Workshop Floors: Create a clean, easy-to-maintain workspace for woodworking, metalworking, or any hobby.
• Equipment Pads: Provide a stable base for HVAC units, generators, water tanks, or other equipment.
• RV Pads: Park your RV on a solid surface instead of dirt or gravel.
• Sports Courts: Pour a basketball or pickleball court in your backyard for family fun and exercise.

Our Slab Installation Process

We follow a proven process to ensure your slab is built to last:

• Site Evaluation: We assess the location, check soil conditions, and determine the best approach for your project.
• Excavation and Grading: We remove topsoil and level the site to create a stable base.
• Base Preparation: We add and compact a gravel base to improve drainage and prevent settling.
• Forming: We set up forms to define the slab dimensions and ensure straight edges.
• Reinforcement: We add rebar or wire mesh to strengthen the slab and reduce cracking.
• Pouring and Finishing: We pour the concrete, level it carefully, and apply the finish you need, whether that's smooth, broom textured, or something else.
• Curing: We allow the slab to cure properly before you start using it.
