Pour & slab

Scope

Flat work and structural pours

Residential driveways through to commercial pads. Every job starts with a site visit, because the ground under the slab decides how long it lasts.

Residential

Driveways, walkways and patios
Garage and shed pads
Steps, landings and curbs
Stamped and exposed aggregate finishes
Break-out and removal of old slabs

Commercial

Loading bays and equipment pads
Footings and grade beams
Reinforced slabs to engineered drawings
Saw cutting and control joints
Overnight and weekend pours

Build spec

What goes under the slab

Most failed concrete in this region is a base problem, not a concrete problem. This is our standard residential build-up.

32 MPa

Mix strength

150 mm

Compacted granular base

100 mm

Slab thickness

5 yr

Workmanship warranty

Air-entrained mix for freeze-thaw resistance. Thickness and reinforcement increase for vehicle and equipment loading — the site visit sets the final spec.

Sequence

How a pour runs

Site visit

We measure, check drainage and soil, and confirm access for the truck. Free, and usually within three days of your call.

Written quote

Excavation, base, forms, reinforcement, concrete and finish listed separately. Valid for 30 days.

Prep and forming

Break-out, excavation, compacted base and forms set to grade. Usually one to two days.

Pour and finish

Placed, screeded, floated and finished the same day. Control joints cut within 24 hours, curing compound applied before we leave.

How long before I can drive on a new pad?

Foot traffic after 24 to 48 hours, vehicles after seven days in normal conditions. Concrete keeps curing for a month, so we ask you to keep heavy loads off the slab for the first two weeks.

Do you pour in winter?

Yes, down to about minus five with blankets, accelerator and a heated cure. Below that we will tell you to wait rather than pour something that will crack.

What about the old driveway?

Break-out, haul-away and disposal are quoted as a separate line so you can see exactly what the removal costs. Concrete we take out goes to a recycler as aggregate.

Do you do decorative finishes?

Broom, exposed aggregate, stamped and saw-cut patterns. We bring physical samples to the site visit, because colour never looks the same on a screen.

Recent work

Slabs we have put down

Formwork through to finish. Same crew on site from excavation to the last pass.

Pour season runs April to November.

Book the site visit early — the calendar tightens fast once the ground thaws.
