Concrete flatwork

Concrete that stays flat and stays whole.

A slab is only as good as what is under it and how it is finished. We grade, compact, set the base and steel, then place and finish with a crew that pours every week.

What we build

Flatwork for homes, businesses and job sites.

Driveways

New driveways, extensions and aprons, poured thick enough for what will drive on them.

Sidewalks and walkways

Clean lines and a broom finish that is not slick when it rains.

Patios

Back patios and pads, sloped so water runs away from the house.

Slabs on grade

Garage, shop and building slabs, finished smooth or broomed.

Building and equipment pads

Pads for buildings, equipment, HVAC and generators, set level and on grade.

Dumpster and parking pads

Heavy duty pads built to take trucks, with steel where the load calls for it.

How we do it

From dirt to finished slab.

Every slab we pour goes through the same steps. Skipping any of them is how concrete fails early.

  • Cut to grade and compact the subgrade
  • Place and compact a stone base
  • Set forms to line and grade, checked twice
  • Set rebar or wire on chairs at the right height
  • Place, screed and float the concrete
  • Edge, cut control joints and finish
  • Cure the slab and clean the site
Finishes
Finished for the job
  • Broom finish on outdoor slabs and drives, so they are not slick when wet
  • Smooth trowel finish on interior and shop slabs
  • Control joints cut at the right spacing
  • Cured, not left to bake
Questions

What people ask us.

How thick should a concrete driveway be?

Most home driveways are poured at four inches. Where trucks, trailers or equipment will run, we go thicker and add steel. We will tell you what your use calls for when we look at the site.

When can I walk and drive on new concrete?

Foot traffic usually after a day or two, cars after about a week, and heavy trucks once the concrete has had close to a month to reach strength. We will give you the timing for your pour.

Why does concrete crack, and can you stop it?

Concrete shrinks as it cures, so some cracking is normal. Control joints cut at the right spacing make it crack in a straight line inside the joint instead of across the slab. Good subgrade and base stop the cracks that come from the ground moving.

Can you tear out and replace old concrete?

Yes. We remove broken or sunken concrete, fix what caused it underneath, and pour new.

What finish do you use?

Outdoor slabs and drives get a broom finish so they are not slick when wet. Interior and shop slabs get a smooth trowel finish. Ask if you want something specific.
