    Selma and Floresville: Two Slabs in One Week

    In February 2022 we built two slabs a week apart, one in Selma and one in Floresville. Each took two days.

    LocationsSelma & Floresville, TX
    DatesFebruary 1–2 and 7–8, 2022
    Concrete3000 PSI, 4 in. thick
    Reinforcement#3 rebar @ 12 in. OCEW
    FinishBroom

    Same spec, done right both times

    • Remove grass and topsoil
    • Set forms to grade
    • Tie #3 rebar at 12 inches on center each way
    • Place 3000 PSI concrete, 4 inches thick
    • Broom finish

    Rebar on a grid at 12 inches each way is the step budget installers skip, and it’s what keeps a slab from breaking apart over time. Get a quote for your slab.

    3000 PSI, 4 inches thick, 3/8-inch rebar at 12 inches each way, with a 12 × 8-inch perimeter toe beam and broom finish.

    Patio and walkway add-ons

    Several patio and driveway extensions, each doweled into the existing concrete with 3/8 or 1/2-inch rebar at 12 inches on center.

    10 × 10 patio and 8 × 8 storage building foundation

    Per building code, we doweled the patio extension into the existing slab and used 1/2-inch rebar at 12 inches on center. The storage building foundation got extra perimeter beams to support the structure and its contents. This customer came to us by referral from the San Antonio Tundra Crew.
