When You Need a Concrete Slab

A concrete slab is the foundation for so many outdoor projects. Maybe you are adding a storage shed, building a workshop, or need a pad for your HVAC unit. Perhaps you want a solid surface for RV parking or a place to work on vehicles. Whatever your project, a properly installed slab gives you a level, stable base that lasts for decades.

We have poured hundreds of slabs in Wichita Falls since 2024, from small equipment pads to large garage floors. Every one starts with understanding what you need it for. A shed slab has different requirements than a driveway or building foundation. We make sure your slab is built correctly for its purpose.

What Makes a Quality Slab

A concrete slab looks simple, but there is a lot that goes into it. The ground prep work determines whether your slab stays level or settles and cracks. We excavate to the right depth, compact the base thoroughly, and make sure drainage is handled properly.

Here is what we do on every slab project:

  • Excavate and remove unsuitable soil
  • Install and compact a proper gravel base
  • Grade for drainage so water flows away
  • Add wire mesh or rebar reinforcement
  • Use the right concrete thickness for your use
  • Finish the surface appropriately for its purpose

Different Types of Flatwork

Flatwork is any flat concrete surface. That includes slabs, but also covers things like barn floors, parking areas, basketball courts, and workshop floors. Each type has specific requirements.

A shed pad might be 4 inches thick with a basic finish. A garage floor needs to be thicker and have a smooth, sealed surface. Equipment pads for heavy machinery need extra reinforcement. We match the specifications to your needs so you do not pay for more than required, but you get a slab that holds up to its intended use.

We also handle special finishing like broom finishes for traction, smooth trowel for indoor spaces, or decorative options if you want something beyond basic gray concrete. Your slab should work well and fit your property.

Built for Texas Soil and Weather

Wichita Falls soil can be challenging. Clay-heavy ground expands and contracts with moisture changes. That movement causes slabs to crack or settle if they are not installed correctly. We know the local conditions and adjust our techniques accordingly.

Proper base preparation compensates for soil movement. Using the right concrete mix helps it stand up to our weather. Adding control joints in the right places manages inevitable small cracks. These details separate slabs that last from ones that fail early. We build it right so you do not need repairs down the road.
