Concrete Project Gallery: Recent Pours

Driveways, slabs, aprons and pavilion floors from around Ocala and Marion County. New ones go up as the crew sends them in.

What to look for in a concrete photo

Any slab looks good the day it is poured. The details below are the ones that tell you how it will look years from now, and they are the same things we check before the forms come off.

Edges and aprons. The edge is where a slab takes the weight of a tire turning in, so it is the first place a thin pour breaks. The aprons in these photos are thickened there. How we build the rest of the drive is on the concrete driveways in Ocala page.

Flat and square. A pad has to match the building that sits on it. Garage and shop floors, pavilion slabs and pads for metal buildings are covered under concrete slabs and foundations, and larger pads and aprons for a business under commercial concrete.

The finish. A broom finish gives grip outdoors. A machine-troweled floor is hard and smooth enough for a shop. The hand-edging and trowel photos show the part of the day that decides which one you get, and the options are laid out on the concrete finishing page. Slabs made for sitting on rather than parking on are under concrete patios and pool decks.

Where the water goes. A slab has to shed water away from the building. That grade is set in the forms before the truck is called. It cannot be troweled in afterward.

What a photo cannot show. The compacted base and the reinforcement are under the surface of every slab here, and they matter more than anything you can see. When the mixer truck cannot reach the forms, the concrete gets there through the hose of our concrete pumping line pump.

Planning a pour like one of these

Start with the size, the address and what the slab has to carry. The Ocala concrete cost guide has ballpark ranges by the square foot, the concrete services in Ocala page lists everything we pour, and the towns we serve across Marion County show how far we travel. If an older slab has cracked or sunk, the concrete repair page explains when a section can be cut out and replaced and when starting over is the honest answer.
