Concrete Slabs & Flatwork

Quality Concrete Slabs for Every Need

When you need a solid, level surface for your garage, shed, workshop, equipment pad, or any other project, a properly installed concrete slab is the solution. Concrete flatwork provides a stable foundation that can support heavy loads, resist weather, and last for decades with minimal maintenance.

Here in Harlingen, TX, we pour concrete slabs for both residential and commercial customers. From small equipment pads to large shop floors, our team has the equipment and expertise to handle projects of any size. We understand that a good slab starts underground with proper preparation, and we never cut corners on the details that matter.

Common Types of Concrete Flatwork We Install

We handle all kinds of concrete slab projects including:

• Garage slabs: Thick, reinforced slabs designed to support vehicles and heavy equipment without cracking.
• Shed and workshop floors: Level surfaces that keep your storage buildings and workspaces dry and functional.
• Equipment pads: Heavy-duty slabs for generators, AC units, hot tubs, or other machinery that needs a stable base.
• Barn and ag building slabs: Large format concrete floors for agricultural and commercial use.
• Basketball courts and sport courts: Smooth, level slabs perfect for outdoor recreation.
• RV and boat parking pads: Durable slabs that handle the weight and provide easy cleaning.

Whatever your project, we can design and install a slab that meets your specific requirements. Need a driveway extension to reach your new garage? We handle that too.

How We Build Slabs That Last

A concrete slab is only as good as what is underneath it. That is why we start every project with careful site evaluation and preparation. We check the soil conditions, plan for proper drainage, and excavate to the right depth.

Next comes the base work. We install a compacted gravel layer that provides drainage and prevents the slab from settling unevenly. For slabs that will support heavy loads or vehicles, we add extra thickness and steel reinforcement. This step is non-negotiable if you want a slab that stays crack-free under pressure.

When we pour, we use laser levels and screeds to ensure the surface is perfectly flat and sloped correctly for drainage. Our finishing crew then creates the surface texture you need, whether that is a smooth trowel finish, broom finish for traction, or something else. Finally, we cut control joints in strategic locations to direct any natural cracking where it will not cause problems.

Slab Thickness and Specifications

Not all slabs are created equal. A shed floor does not need the same thickness as a garage that will hold two trucks. We recommend 4 inches for light duty applications like storage sheds or small patios, 5 to 6 inches for most garage and workshop floors, and 6 inches or more for heavy equipment, commercial use, or poor soil conditions.

We also adjust the concrete mix design and reinforcement based on your needs. Steel rebar or wire mesh helps control cracking, and fiber reinforcement adds extra strength. If you are planning other projects like concrete foundations for a new building, we can coordinate everything to ensure your structures have the solid base they need.

Built for South Texas Conditions

Installing concrete slabs in Harlingen means understanding our clay soils and how they react to moisture changes. We adjust our base preparation and use proper reinforcement to prevent the settling and cracking that can occur when the soil shifts. Our team also knows the local building codes and permit requirements, so your project gets done right without delays.
