Site Prep and Planning
Concrete Forming
Forms decide where the edges go. We build straight forms with lumber and steel, bend flexible forms into curves and brace everything so the shape holds under the weight of wet concrete.
- TypesLumber, steel, flexible forms
- ShapesStraight, curved, stepped
- SupportStakes and bracing
- CheckLine, level and elevation

Questions
Common questions
Can you form tight curves?
Yes, with flexible forms and extra stakes. We lay the curve out on the ground first.
Do forms stay in place after the pour?
They come off once the concrete has set enough, often the next day.
