Base prep over clay
We grade and compact the subgrade over central-Ohio till so the slab carries weight evenly and will not settle or heave under what it holds.
Proof
A job we'd put our name on
A pad is only as good as the match between the slab and what sits on it. We size, reinforce, and air-entrain each one for the load above and the freeze cycles below.
Credibility comes from how it's built, not from promises. Here's the order of operations on every concrete pads & slabs job.
We grade and compact the subgrade over central-Ohio till so the slab carries weight evenly and will not settle or heave under what it holds.
Slab thickness is set by the job. A pad for a garden shed and a shop floor that parks vehicles are two different pours, and we treat them that way.
Reinforcement is matched to the use, from mesh on a light pad to a rebar grid for heavy loads, which also helps the slab span minor soil movement.
Enclosed or heated slabs get a vapor barrier underneath so ground moisture does not wick up into the floor.
We pour an air-entrained mix made for the freeze cycles, cut control joints, and give it a proper cure before it sees load.
Most contractors vanish after the deposit. We pick up the phone, show up when we say, and stand behind the work after the truck leaves. The follow-through is the difference.
A foreman we know runs your job and a vetted crew does the work, managed by Lucky's, one company accountable from the first call to the final walkthrough.
COI and lien waivers on file before we break ground. The documentation that lets commercial clients pay and gives homeowners peace of mind.
Prepped subgrade, reinforced and mixed to spec for the job, and proper curing. We build credibility through the process, not promises. On concrete pads & slabs, that starts with base prep over clay.
Pads and slabs here are priced to the load and the winter: an air-entrained mix, reinforcement matched to the use, and a compacted base over clay. As a starting range, most pads and slabs run about $8 to $14 a square foot depending on thickness and whether a vapor barrier is called for. We size and price it to what it has to carry.
That comes down to the load. A shed pad is far lighter than a garage or shop floor holding vehicles and equipment, so we set thickness and reinforcement to your real use and account for the clay sitting underneath it.
Yes. Those are heavy, concentrated loads, so we step up thickness and reinforcement and pour an air-entrained mix. A hot tub in particular wants a level base that will not heave with frost. Tell us the equipment and we will build the pad around it.
For an enclosed or heated slab, usually yes; it stops ground moisture from migrating up through the concrete. We advise based on what the slab is actually for.
Some do, depending on size, placement, and use, and the rules vary across Franklin and the surrounding counties. We flag when a permit is likely so it gets handled up front rather than after the fact.
Concrete keeps gaining strength after it looks set, and a cold snap slows the early days. We give you a clear date to put weight or equipment on it for your specific pour.
You'll hear back from a real person, usually the same day. No call center, no runaround, no chasing us down.
