A slab is a flat pad built to hold something: a shed, a hot tub, a carport, a generator, a workshop, or a garage floor. What sits on it decides how thick it is and how it's reinforced. Tell us what's going on it and we'll size it to match. We build it level and square, so a shed sits flat, its doors close right, and water runs off.
What's included
- On-site measure and a written quote
- Thickness and reinforcement matched to the load
- Dig-out, leveling, and compacted stone base
- Forms set square and level
- Thickened edges where the load calls for them
- Anchor bolts set in the pour if your shed or carport needs them
- Smooth or broom finish, control joints, and cleanup
The process
- Measure and size. We confirm the size and what will sit on it. If a shed or building is coming, we work from its exact dimensions.
- Prep. We dig out, level, compact, and lay the base.
- Form and reinforce. We set forms square and place rebar or mesh, plus any anchor bolts.
- Pour and finish. We pour, finish, and cut joints.
- Cure. A shed can usually go on after about a week. We'll give you the date for your load.
What affects the price
- Size. Small pads cost more per square foot, because setup costs don't shrink with the job.
- Thickness and steel. Heavier loads need thicker concrete and more reinforcement.
- Site leveling. A sloped spot needs more dig-out or fill.
- Access. A backyard pad may need a pump or wheelbarrows.
- Extras. Thickened edges, anchor bolts, or a vapor barrier under an enclosed building.
Questions homeowners ask
- How thick does a slab need to be?
- Four inches handles most sheds and light use. Hot tubs, garages, and heavy equipment often call for more, or for thickened edges. Your shed, hot tub, or building maker may list a requirement. Bring it to the quote and we'll match it.
- Can a slab hold a hot tub?
- Yes, if it's built for it. A filled hot tub can weigh several thousand pounds and sits in one spot all year. We size the slab to the tub's footprint and the maker's specs.
- Do I need a permit for a slab?
- Often not for a small shed pad, but it depends on the county, the size, and what goes on it. A slab for a garage or other building usually falls under that building's permit. We'll flag it at the quote, and the county has the final say.
- When should the slab go in if a shed is being delivered?
- Pour it at least a week before delivery so it can cure. Get us the shed's exact size first. A pad that's off by a few inches can cause problems at install.
