Foundations, footings, flatwork, slabs, curbs, and exposed aggregate. Formed and poured in-house.
Concrete is one of those things that lasts for decades — or doesn't, depending on how it was poured. There's no hiding a bad pour. The slab cracks, the edges chip, the corners settle, and you live with it for years until you can't take it anymore. We spend most of our time on concrete jobs doing the part that isn't the pour itself — the prep, the forms, the grade. The pour is the easy part when everything else is right.
Strip the area down to undisturbed ground, pull out the organic material, and bring in clean gravel for the sub-base. We compact it in lifts so the concrete has a solid, uniform foundation under it. This is 80% of the job.
Forms go up to the exact shape and elevation of the pour. Rebar or wire mesh depending on what the slab is doing. We double-check everything before the truck shows up — once concrete is in the forms, there's no moving it.
Truck backs in, concrete goes in the forms, we work it to grade, screed it flat, float it, and finish it to the spec — smooth, broom, or exposed aggregate. Then we cure it properly so it sets up at full strength.
All concrete cracks. That's just physics — it shrinks as it cures, and eventually it has to give somewhere. The trick is controlling where it cracks. That's what control joints are for, and it's why we cut them at the right spacing and depth on every slab. A slab with proper control joints still cracks, but it cracks along the joint lines where you can't see them. A slab without them cracks wherever it wants, usually in the worst possible spot.
