Level, reinforced slabs for garages, workshops and sheds, poured on a prepared base with thickened edges where walls will sit.
A garage or shed floor does a lot of quiet work. It carries cars, tools and workbenches, keeps moisture out and gives the walls a base to sit on. A thin or poorly prepared slab will crack, sink along the edges and let damp air up into the building. A garage in a Nashville subdivision built on fill soil is especially likely to move, which is why the preparation under the slab matters as much as the pour itself.
We start with grading and compaction, add a layer of stone and, where appropriate, a vapor barrier. The slab is formed with thickened edges where walls and heavy loads will bear, and reinforced with steel or fiber. We finish the surface with a hard trowel for a smooth, dust-resistant floor or a light broom where traction matters near the door. Slopes toward the door or a floor drain, anchor bolts and control joints are planned in advance.
Compacted stone and a moisture barrier keep the slab dry and prevent settling.
Thicker concrete at the perimeter carries wall loads and resists cracking at the edge.
Steel or fiber helps hold cracks tight and supports vehicles and equipment.
A hard-troweled finish suits the interior and a light broom suits the apron at the door.

You tell us about your site and what you want, new concrete, a repair or a refresh, and we set a visit that fits your day.
We walk the property, measure the area, check drainage, soil and access, look at any old concrete and take photos of anything of note.
We explain your options for thickness, steel, finishes and colors, sketch the layout and give you a written scope with clear timing and pricing.
We arrange for underground utilities to be located, protect the house, lawn and landscaping, remove old concrete if needed and compact a stone base.
We set forms and steel, check heights and slopes, place and finish the concrete and cut joints, with the crew on site from the first truck to the last pass.
We protect the concrete as it cures, clean up the site, walk you through when to use it and seal it, and set a reminder for your next check.
Four inches is common for cars. Five or six inches with steel suits heavy vehicles or equipment.
Often yes, especially where moisture could rise through the soil. We recommend based on the site.
Yes. We coordinate with the supplier on anchors, edges and loads.
Yes. We slope the slab toward a drain or the door and plan the pipe in advance.
Yes. Once the slab has cured, a coating can protect it. See our coatings page.
