A pour, step by step

Every slab is built the same way, layer by layer.

  1. 01

    Grade and compact

    The ground dug to depth, sloped to drain and compacted until a boot leaves no print.

  2. 02

    Lay the base

    Four to six inches of crushed limestone, wetted and rolled flat, so the slab sits on rock, not clay.

  3. 03

    Set forms and steel

    Timber forms staked to line and level, rebar tied in a grid and lifted on chairs to the middle of the slab.

  4. 04

    Pour and screed

    The concrete placed in one go, vibrated, then screeded with a straightedge until it is dead level.

  5. 05

    Finish and cut

    Floated, edged and broomed or stamped, with control joints cut so any crack runs where we choose.

  6. 06

    Cure and seal

    Kept damp for a week, walked on after two days, driven on after seven, sealed after twenty-eight.

Questions

Why is the price a range?

Because the ground decides a lot: how much old concrete comes out, how far the truck can reach, how much base it needs. The written estimate after we've seen it is a fixed price.

Will my new concrete crack?

Concrete shrinks as it cures, so we cut control joints to tell any crack where to go. A hairline in a joint is normal; a crack that opens or lifts in the first five years we come back and fix.

How do I pay?

A deposit holds the pour date, the rest when the job is finished and you've walked it with us. Card, check or bank transfer.

What does the warranty cover?

Our workmanship for five years: settling, lifting, scaling and cracks outside the joints. It doesn't cover damage from tree roots, de-icing salt or heavier loads than we poured for.
