Concrete Slabs & Flatwork
Solid, level concrete slabs for sheds, garages, workshops, and more.
If you need a solid, level surface for a shed, garage, workshop, or storage area, a concrete slab is the answer. Unlike gravel or dirt, concrete provides a permanent foundation that will not shift, settle, or wash away. It keeps your belongings off the ground, protects against moisture, and gives you a clean, stable work surface.
We pour concrete slabs for all kinds of projects in University Place, WA. Whether you are building a new structure or replacing an old slab, we take the time to prepare the site properly so your slab stays level and crack-free for decades. From small equipment pads to large garage floors, we handle every job with the same attention to detail and quality.
Common Uses for Concrete Slabs
Concrete slabs are incredibly versatile. Here are some of the most common projects we complete for homeowners:
- •Shed and storage building foundations: A concrete slab keeps your shed level, dry, and secure.
- •Garage floors: A smooth, durable floor that handles vehicles, tools, and heavy equipment.
- •Workshop bases: Create a clean, stable workspace for woodworking, metalworking, or hobbies.
- •Equipment pads: Support for HVAC units, generators, hot tubs, or pool equipment.
- •RV or boat parking: A solid surface that prevents sinking and keeps your vehicles clean and accessible.
- •Basketball or sports courts: A flat, smooth surface for outdoor recreation.
How We Pour Concrete Slabs
A concrete slab might look simple, but the quality depends entirely on what happens before and during the pour. Here is our step-by-step process:
Site Evaluation and Planning
We start by evaluating your site to understand soil conditions, drainage, and any obstacles. We also confirm the exact size, thickness, and specifications you need for your project. This planning phase ensures we build the right slab for your intended use.
Excavation and Base Preparation
We excavate the area and remove any loose soil or debris. Then we add a compacted gravel base that provides stable support and helps with drainage. Proper compaction is critical. Without it, the slab can settle unevenly and crack over time.
Forming and Reinforcement
We set forms to define the edges and ensure the slab is level. We also install steel rebar or wire mesh to reinforce the concrete and prevent cracking. For heavier loads like garage floors or equipment pads, we use thicker concrete and stronger reinforcement.
Pouring and Finishing
We pour the concrete, level it carefully, and finish the surface according to your needs. For garage floors and workshops, we usually apply a smooth trowel finish. For outdoor slabs, a broom finish provides better traction. After finishing, we cure the concrete properly to ensure it reaches maximum strength and durability.
