Concrete Slabs
Many projects start with a plain slab: a base for a shed, a pad for an AC unit, a place for a generator or a landing. We pour flat, level, well-jointed slabs on a compacted base in whatever size and thickness the job needs.

Common questions
How thick should a slab be?
Four inches is common for patios and walks, and thicker for vehicles or heavy equipment. We pick it from what the slab will carry.
Can I park an RV on a slab?
Yes, with the right thickness, base and reinforcement. We design the pad for the weight and how tight the turns are.
