The process

Done right the first time

Layout, grading & forms

Graded and formed to drain correctly and hold its shape.

Rebar grid & base prep

A full rebar grid and prepared base built for coastal soil.

Pre-pour inspection

Checked before any concrete is poured — the step that prevents do-overs.

Pour, screed & finish

Poured, screeded, and finished to the texture and slope you need.

Cure, control joints & clean-up

Proper curing, control joints to manage cracking, and a clean site.

What the photos show

Steel-reinforced, coastal-ready

Steel-reinforced flatwork built for coastal soil: graded, formed, and tied with a full rebar grid before any concrete is poured. The same care goes into entry work, structural posts, and pads. Unreinforced flatwork typically runs $5 to $10 per square foot.
