Concrete Slab & Pad Installation
Pads for shops, garages, sheds, RVs, equipment and AC units across Sutter, Yuba, Butte and the surrounding counties. Base prep, forming, reinforcement and finish are all handled by our crew, so the pad is level and ready to build on or park on when we leave.

Level, square, and rated for the load
A slab is simple work that punishes shortcuts. A shop pad that is out of square costs you time on every wall you frame on it. One that is under-thick for what parks on it cracks along the tire path within a couple of seasons, and then it is your floor that is failing.
So we ask what is going on it before we quote. A shed, a two-post lift, a fifth-wheel, a generator. That answer sets thickness, reinforcement, and whether the edges or load points need thickening. Then we compact the base properly, form to square, and screed it flat.
If you are building on it, we set anchor bolts, sleeves and any embeds your building kit calls for while the concrete is still wet. That is considerably cheaper than drilling and epoxying them in afterwards.

How thick does my slab need to be?
Four inches over a compacted base is fine for a shed or a walk-in shop floor. Vehicles, lifts, RVs and heavy equipment want more, sometimes with thickened footings under the load points. What parks on it decides the thickness, not the square footage.
Can you pour a slab for a metal building kit?
Yes, and it goes better if we see the plans first. Anchor bolt spacing, edge details and slab dimensions all come from the kit, and setting the bolts accurately while the pour is wet saves a day of drilling and epoxy later.
Do I need a permit for a shed pad?
It depends on the size and where it sits on the lot. Small pads often do not; anything you are putting an enclosed structure on usually does. We will tell you what we think at the walkthrough, but the county planning counter is the final word.
Can you slope it to a drain?
Yes. Shop floors that get washed down want a slope to a drain or out a door, and we form and screed for it. Say so up front though. It changes the layout, and it is not something that can be added after the pour.
