What is the best time frame for a poured slab?

A poured slab should be done as soon as possible, in order to avoid cracking and settling. The best time frame is within one week of pouring foundation forms or steel reinforcing bars (rebar). You need at least a day for the concrete to dry before it can support heavy loads such as equipment used during construction.

What are some precautions I should take when pouring concrete near trees or plants?

Trees and plants should be trimmed back at least three feet from the proposed location of concrete. You may also want to consider removing a tree if it is too close for comfort, but this will depend on how much space you need to pour your slab. Remember that trees can cause cracks in sidewalks or other concrete structures because they have deep roots.

How do I make sure my pour doesn't crack?

There are a few things you can do to make sure your pour isn't going to crack. The first thing is the temperature of the concrete should be at least 15 degrees Celsius, if not then it will need to wait until it reaches that temperature before being used. Secondly, use fresh water when mixing and adding cement products as this can provide greater strength and durability.

Can someone help me with my project if I'm not very good at pouring concrete myself?

Yes! We can provide the manpower to help you complete your project. All we need is a date and time that works for both of us, and then we'll take it from there.

How long does concrete take to dry?

It typically takes about 24 hours before the concrete will be strong enough to handle normal day-to-day activities, but it is always safe to wait at least 7 days before full use.

How much does it cost to have your team come out and pour my slab for me?

We can provide an accurate quote, but the amount will depend on a number of factors. How big is your slab? What materials are you planning to use for the concrete? Where do you live and how soon would you like us to come out? Contact us today for a quick and accurate quote!

Driveways

We take pride in being able to provide your home or business with a driveway that will stand the test of time and all weather conditions.

From there we will carefully lay out and level your concrete pad before adding in any reinforcement materials to ensure that your driveway not only looks good but is also durable.

Unlike driveways, sidewalks and patios provide a flat surface which makes it easier to walk across them when wet or icy. As an added bonus, they can be used by pedestrians as well. We offer professional services for both sidewalk and patio construction in the city of Calgary so you know you're getting a top-quality service at an affordable price.

Maintenance Services

We provide maintenance services after construction is completed so that your newly added concrete pad, sidewalk, or patio lasts as long as possible without having to worry about damage or deterioration. These services include crack sealing, patching small areas of damage, power washing to remove graffiti and etching, which is done by acid washing.
