Concrete Slabs & Flatwork

Versatile Concrete Solutions

Concrete slabs and flatwork form the foundation for countless projects around your property. Whether you need a floor for your new garage, a pad for your HVAC unit, or a base for a storage shed, properly poured concrete provides the stable, level surface you need.

We handle flatwork projects of all sizes here in Decatur, IL. From small equipment pads to large commercial floors, our team has the experience and equipment to get it done right. Every slab we pour meets local building codes and is built to last through years of use and weather exposure.

Common Flatwork Applications

Concrete flatwork serves many purposes on residential and commercial properties. The requirements vary depending on what the slab will support, which is why proper planning matters.

We install concrete slabs for:

• Garage and workshop floors
• Shed foundations and equipment pads
• RV and boat parking areas
• Basketball and sport courts
• Commercial floor slabs and loading areas
• Carport and covered parking floors

Why Proper Preparation Matters

A concrete slab is only as good as what is underneath it. We start every project with thorough site evaluation and preparation. This includes checking soil conditions, establishing proper drainage, and building a stable base that will not settle or shift over time.

For slabs that will support heavy loads like vehicles or equipment, we adjust the thickness and add reinforcement. Garage floors and parking areas typically need thicker concrete than a simple storage shed pad. We size everything correctly for your specific application.

Quality Materials and Techniques

We use high-quality concrete mixes appropriate for Central Illinois weather. This means your slab can handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or deteriorating. Proper finishing creates a smooth, level surface that is easy to work on or easy to clean, depending on your needs.

Control joints are placed strategically to manage natural concrete movement. We also slope slabs slightly for drainage when needed, especially for outdoor applications. These details might seem small, but they prevent problems down the road and extend the life of your concrete.

Working with Your Timeline and Budget

Whether you are building a new structure or upgrading an existing space, we work efficiently to keep your project on schedule. Most slab pours can be completed in one day, though larger commercial projects may take longer. The concrete needs about 7 days to cure before you can drive on it or place heavy equipment.

We provide clear, detailed estimates that break down costs for materials and labor. No surprises or hidden fees. If site conditions require additional work, we discuss it with you before proceeding. Our goal is to deliver exactly what you need within your budget and timeframe.
