Concrete Slabs & Flatwork

Every property needs solid, flat surfaces for various purposes. Whether you are building a shed, setting up a workshop, parking an RV, or installing outdoor equipment, you need a concrete slab that stays level and can support the weight. Here in Bowling Green, KY, we pour concrete slabs for residential and commercial properties that need reliable, long-lasting flatwork.

Concrete flatwork is one of the most versatile services we offer. We have poured slabs for garden sheds, detached garages, equipment pads, dog kennels, hot tub bases, air conditioning unit pads, and countless other applications. No matter what you need to set on a solid surface, we can create the right foundation for it.

What We Build Slabs For

Concrete slabs serve many purposes around your property. The beauty of concrete is that once we pour a proper slab, it will support almost anything you want to place on it without settling or shifting over time.

Here are the most common slab projects we handle:

• •Storage sheds: Create a dry, level foundation that keeps your shed stable and your belongings protected
• •Detached garages: Pour a slab strong enough to support vehicles and heavy equipment
• •Equipment pads: Provide stable bases for generators, HVAC units, or pool equipment
• •RV parking: Install a durable pad that handles heavy vehicle weight without cracking
• •Workshop floors: Create a clean, level workspace for your projects and tools
• •Dog runs: Pour easy-to-clean surfaces for outdoor pet areas

Why Proper Slab Installation Matters

A concrete slab might look simple, but there is more to it than just pouring concrete on the ground. Without proper site preparation and base work, your slab will settle unevenly, develop cracks, or even break apart under weight. This is especially true here in Bowling Green where we have clay soil that shifts with moisture changes.

Site Preparation

We start by excavating to the proper depth and removing any organic material or unstable soil. Then we bring in gravel to create a stable base. This base does two things: it provides solid support that will not shift, and it allows water to drain away instead of sitting under your slab where it can cause problems during freeze-thaw cycles.

Proper Thickness and Reinforcement

The thickness of your slab depends on what you plan to put on it. A light shed might only need 4 inches of concrete, while a garage for vehicles needs 6 inches or more. We add wire mesh or rebar reinforcement to prevent cracking and increase strength. For heavy equipment or vehicle storage, proper reinforcement is not optional.

Grading and Drainage

We grade your slab with a slight slope so water runs off instead of pooling. This is important for sheds and garages where water infiltration can damage your belongings or rust vehicles. If needed, we can also install drainage systems around the slab to direct water away from the area. This attention to proper grading and drainage prevents future problems.
