FAQ
Questions about slabs
Do you pour slabs for new construction?
Yes. We have poured building pads on cleared rural lots as well as smaller shop and shed slabs in town. Send us the dimensions and what is going on top of it and we will quote it.
Do you handle the grading too?
Yes. Grading and base preparation is part of the job on every slab we pour.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. Estimates are free, every time, with no obligation. Call or text (469) 334-7552 and we will come out and price the job.
What does a concrete driveway cost in Memphis?
It depends on the square footage, the thickness, whether there is an old slab to tear out and haul away, how difficult the access is and which finish you choose. That is why we look at it in person rather than quoting a number over the phone. The estimate is free either way.
Do you reinforce your concrete?
Yes. Rebar and wire mesh go into our pours as standard, tied and chaired off the ground so the steel sits inside the slab where it does its job. Reinforcement is the difference between concrete that cracks and stays put and concrete that cracks and separates.
