HOW WE DO IT
Our Concrete Pouring Process
We keep our concrete pouring process simple yet effective—planning, preparing the site, pouring with precision and finishing up with curing and sealing for a top-quality job.
Step 1
Designing and Planning
Our team begins with a smart plan. We decide on the thickness and depth of the slab early on. For standard slabs, we prepare a 4-6 inches compact base. If it needs more strength, for thicknesses over 5 inches, we add 1/2-inch rebar in a grid pattern two feet wide.
This ensures your concrete is strong.
We also consider where to place control joints. They should be no more than 2-3 times the thickness of the slab in feet apart. This prevents cracks from spreading and keeps your concrete looking good for years.
Our planning and design steps ensure structural stability and durability for every project.
Step 2
Site Preparation
First, the site gets cleared of trees, rocks, and debris. Next, attention turns to preparing the soil base. It’s important to drain and compact it for firm support. For most projects, a 4-6 inch thick base is made.
But for load-bearing slabs, the depth increases to 10-12 inches.
After that, it’s time for gravel spreading. About 3-4 inches of gravel aggregate is laid down. Using a tamper or plate compactor helps ensure it’s level and solidified. This step is crucial for good drainage and helps avoid common concrete issues such as cracking or shifting later on.
Step 3
Concrete Pouring and Finishing
First, the team prepares the area by setting up forms and wetting the base. This ensures the ground is ready for concrete. Next, they pour the mixture into these prepared spaces. Getting this step right is vital for a strong driveway or patio.
Then, it’s time to smooth everything out. They start with a board to even out the surface. For finer smoothing, they use either a hand tool known as a darby or a long-handled float for bigger sections.
This process gives your concrete that sleek look seen on smooth driveways and patios in town. Each step is done with great care to ensure excellent results.
Step 4
Curing and Sealing
We cure and seal concrete properly. After it is poured, we watch the weather closely. It needs to be warm and dry, over 70°F for five days. This helps the concrete set perfectly. We also use a tool called a groover to make control joints in the concrete.
These cuts are made 25% deep into the surface. They help prevent cracking by allowing the slab to move without breaking.
Then we seal it. Sealing keeps out moisture and stops cracks from forming. It acts like a protective layer for your concrete, making it last longer, look better, and require less repair down the line.
We have completed hundreds of projects in Tallahassee using this method and have seen great results in protecting our customers’ investments.

Assisting you to create a distinctive outdoor space is effortless and free of concern with us.
Ease of Maintenance
Keeping your concrete looking good is easy. We always make sure to clean our tools right after we use them. This prevents the concrete from drying on them. It’s a simple step, but it really makes a difference.
Also, we plan your space so water doesn’t gather in places. For this, we use slightly curved screed boards to help water flow off instead of forming puddles.
Our team also focuses on the slope for proper drainage. By handling water runoff well and ensuring everything drains properly, keeping up with maintenance becomes much simpler for you later on.
With regular checks and cleaning, your concrete areas will stay looking nice year after year with little trouble.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs about Concrete Pouring residential projects
The best time is during cooler, drier months (fall to early spring) to avoid the intense summer heat and heavy rainfall. Cooler weather allows for better control over the curing process, reducing the risk of cracking.
High humidity slows down water evaporation, which can help with curing. However, summer heat can cause rapid drying on the surface, leading to cracks. Proper curing methods, like misting or covering with plastic sheeting, can balance moisture loss.
A mix with air-entrainment additives and a low water-to-cement ratio is recommended. This increases resistance to moisture, humidity, and potential flooding, which are frequent issues in Florida’s climate.
Avoid scheduling a pour if rain is in the forecast. If rain begins unexpectedly, cover the fresh concrete with tarps or plastic sheeting to prevent water damage. Proper planning is essential to avoid surface defects.
Concrete reaches full strength after 28 days, but warm, humid weather can speed up the initial set time. Proper curing practices, like misting or using curing blankets, help ensure even curing and prevent cracks.
Use control joints to manage cracking, avoid pouring during peak heat, and keep the surface moist during curing. Applying a curing compound can also slow down the evaporation process and reduce stress on the concrete.
