Concrete Slabs & Flatwork
Solid, level concrete slabs for sheds, shops, RV pads, and any project that needs a stable base.
What Is Concrete Flatwork?
Flatwork is any horizontal concrete surface. That includes slabs for sheds, garages, shops, RV pads, equipment storage, and more. Basically, if you need a solid, level surface to build on or park on, you need flatwork.
A properly poured slab gives you a stable foundation that will not settle, rot, or shift. Whether you are building a workshop, storing equipment, or creating a parking spot for your RV or boat, concrete flatwork is the durable solution that lasts for decades.
Here in Mount Vernon, we pour flatwork for residential, commercial, and agricultural uses. Our team understands local soil conditions and how to prepare a site so your slab stays level and strong no matter what you put on it.experienced concrete contractors
Common Flatwork Projects
We handle all types of flatwork projects. Here are the most common:
- Shed and Workshop Slabs: A level concrete pad provides a solid base for storage sheds, workshops, or hobby buildings. It keeps moisture out and creates a stable floor.
- Garage Floors: Whether you are building a new garage or replacing an old floor, we pour thick, reinforced concrete that handles vehicle weight and resists oil stains.
- RV and Boat Pads: Park your RV, boat, or trailer on a concrete pad instead of grass or gravel. It keeps vehicles level, prevents mud, and makes access easier year-round.
- Equipment Pads: Create a stable surface for generators, HVAC units, hot tubs, or other heavy equipment. Proper concrete support prevents settling and extends equipment life.
- Agricultural Slabs: Barns, equipment storage, wash racks, and feed areas all benefit from durable concrete slabs that stand up to heavy use and easy cleaning.
What Makes a Quality Slab
Not all slabs are created equal. Here is what separates a slab that lasts from one that fails:
Site Preparation
We start by evaluating your soil and drainage. Then we excavate, level, and compact the area. Proper compaction prevents settling. Poor site prep is the number one cause of slab failure.
Gravel Base
We add 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel under the slab. This creates drainage, prevents moisture problems, and provides a stable base that will not shift over time.
Thickness and Reinforcement
Slab thickness depends on what it will support. Standard shed slabs are 4 inches thick. Garages and heavy equipment pads may need 5 or 6 inches. We always include rebar or wire mesh for reinforcement.
Control Joints and Finishing
Control joints manage where cracks form if the concrete moves. We cut or tool joints at proper intervals. Then we finish the surface smooth or with a broom texture depending on your needs.
