Concrete Foundations & Slabs in Austin, TX

Formed, reinforced and poured for what goes on top — Austin, Travis County.

Most concrete we pour in Austin is not a whole house — it is an addition, a garage, a workshop, or a pad for a cabin going in the back garden. Small pours on tight sites, which is a different skill from an open field.

The reinforcement matters more here than the size does. Blackland clay pushes up on a slab in a wet spring and drops away from it in a dry summer, and a pad that was poured with the steel lying on the dirt has no answer to that.

Concrete Foundations & Slabs in Austin

Access again decides a lot in central Austin. If a truck cannot reach the back garden, the concrete has to be moved by other means, and that changes the price and the day. We work it out on the visit rather than discovering it with a full truck idling in the street.

Questions about concrete foundations & slabs in Austin

Can you get concrete to my back garden?

Usually, and how is exactly what we check on the visit. On a narrow central Austin lot that answer changes the cost, so it is better known before than during.

Why did my old patio slab crack?

Most often no reinforcement, or steel that ended up under the concrete instead of inside it. On this clay an unreinforced pad is waiting for a dry summer.

Do you pour pads for cabins?

Yes, and often for cabins we are also building — so the pad is sized to the cabin exactly rather than approximately.
