Concrete Slabs & Flatwork
Strong, level concrete slabs for sheds, garages, workshops, and more.
What is Concrete Flatwork?
Flatwork is the term we use for any horizontal concrete surface. This includes slabs for sheds, garage floors, workshop pads, basketball courts, RV parking areas, and any other flat concrete surface you need. Unlike driveways and patios that often have decorative elements, flatwork is all about creating a strong, level, functional surface.
In Delano, homeowners and business owners rely on concrete slabs for countless applications. You might need a slab for a backyard shed to store tools and equipment. Or you are building a detached garage and need a solid floor. Maybe you want a workshop space or a level area for outdoor storage. Whatever your project, proper flatwork installation ensures you have a surface that stays level, resists cracking, and handles the weight you put on it.
When you hire professional concrete contractors, you get more than just a concrete pour. You get expertise in site prep, proper reinforcement, correct thickness, and finishing techniques that make a difference in how long your slab lasts.
Concrete Slab Services We Provide
We pour concrete slabs for all kinds of residential and commercial uses. No project is too big or too small. Here is what we do:
- Garage and carport floors
- Shed and storage building pads
- Workshop and hobby space slabs
- RV and equipment parking areas
- Basketball and sport courts
- Commercial warehouse and loading dock slabs
Each type of slab has different requirements. A shed pad might only need 4 inches of concrete, while a heavy equipment storage area needs 6 inches or more. We evaluate your specific needs and recommend the right thickness and reinforcement. Just like our foundation work, we design each slab to handle the loads it will carry.
How We Pour Quality Concrete Slabs
A good concrete slab starts below ground. We excavate the area to remove topsoil and organic material that can settle over time. Then we bring in crushed gravel or aggregate and compact it in layers. This creates a stable base that will not shift or settle after we pour the concrete.
Next, we build level forms to the exact dimensions you need. We install steel rebar or wire mesh for reinforcement. This step is crucial for preventing cracks and helping the slab handle weight without breaking. We also add expansion joints where needed to control any cracking that might occur as the concrete cures.
When everything is prepped, we pour the concrete, screed it level, and finish the surface. For garage floors and workshops, we create a smooth troweled finish. For outdoor slabs, we add texture for traction. We also slope the surface slightly for drainage so water does not pool. Our attention to detail ensures you get a slab that performs exactly as you need it to. Learn more about our concrete installation process and why proper technique matters.
