Concrete Slabs & Flatwork
Level, durable concrete slabs for any residential or commercial project.
Whether you need a floor for your new garage, a pad for your shed, or a loading area for your business, it starts with a quality concrete slab. At RedGuard Bellevue Concrete, we pour concrete slabs and flatwork that stay level, drain properly, and handle heavy loads without cracking or settling.
Concrete flatwork is what we call any large, flat concrete surface. This includes garage floors, shop floors, equipment pads, shed foundations, basketball courts, and commercial slabs. We have been pouring slabs in Bellevue since 2024, and we know how to build them right the first time so they last for decades.
Where We Pour Concrete Slabs
Concrete slabs work for dozens of different applications around your home or business. Each one needs to be built to handle its specific use and load requirements.
Common projects we handle include:
- •Garage floors: Level, durable surface for parking and workspace
- •Shed foundations: Solid base that prevents settling and moisture issues
- •Equipment pads: Reinforced slabs for HVAC units, generators, or machinery
- •Commercial floors: Large slabs for warehouses, shops, and retail spaces
- •Basketball courts: Smooth, flat surface for outdoor play areas
- •Loading docks: Heavy-duty slabs built for forklifts and truck traffic
How We Build Concrete Slabs
A quality slab starts below ground. The work you do not see makes the biggest difference in how long your slab lasts and how well it performs.
Site Evaluation and Prep
We start by evaluating your soil conditions and drainage. We excavate to the proper depth, grade for water runoff, and compact the subgrade. Then we add a gravel base (typically 4-6 inches) and compact that as well. This foundation prevents settling and keeps your slab level.
Reinforcement and Thickness
We determine the right thickness based on what you plan to do with the slab. Residential garage floors are typically 4-5 inches thick. Commercial slabs or areas with heavy equipment need 6 inches or more. We add wire mesh or rebar for reinforcement based on the load requirements.
Pour, Finish, and Cure
We pour the concrete, screed it level, and finish it to your specs. For garage floors, we typically use a broom finish for traction. For patios or decorative slabs, we can add stamps or color. We cut control joints to manage cracking and protect the concrete while it cures. Proper curing takes 28 days for full strength, but you can usually walk on it after 24-48 hours.
Why Proper Installation Matters
You might be tempted to go with the lowest bid for your concrete slab. Here is why that often costs more in the long run. A cheap slab that cracks, settles, or develops drainage problems needs expensive repairs or replacement. You end up paying twice.
We take the time to do it right. That means proper excavation depth, adequate base material, correct concrete thickness, proper reinforcement, and control joints in the right places. It also means using quality concrete with the right mix for Nebraska weather and allowing proper cure time.
When you need foundation work or a reliable slab for your next project, we have the equipment and experience to handle jobs of any size. From small shed pads to large commercial floors, we treat every project with the same attention to detail.
