What is a Concrete Slab?
A concrete slab is a flat, horizontal surface made of poured concrete that serves as a primary building element. It is versatile, durable, and forms the essential foundation for various structures and outdoor spaces throughout the region.
A properly designed and constructed concrete slab is a necessity in Midland’s extreme climate conditions due to the shifting soil, which would result in the slab losing its intended position and/or functionality over time. Therefore, we design each slab to provide you with a stable and permanently fixed base from which you can build your structure.

Residential Concrete Slabs
These are great for installing a garage, adding to your house, or any other type of construction you want to do in your yard. The goal is to create a flat, solid foundation to give you a solid base to build on.
Commercial Concrete Slabs
Our crews install commercial-grade foundations for warehouses, retail stores, and all types of heavy industrial facilities throughout the area. We use high-strength mixtures and detailed engineering to make sure that your slab can handle all the weight and foot traffic it will receive on a day-to-day basis.
Concrete Slab Repair
If you have major cracks, uneven floors, or if you’re experiencing water seepage into your slab, we can repair them. We can restore your slab to its original condition, preventing any further damage from happening and the cost of having to replace it in the future.
Concrete Slab Overlays
Instead of replacing an old slab entirely, you can apply a new layer of overlay material to revitalize the surface. This will cover up any small imperfections and give you a brand new look, a brand new feel, as well as a very durable finish.
Specialty Concrete Slabs
If you have a job that requires something that is outside of what is considered standard, whether it’s because of size or special reinforcement, etc., we can create customized solutions to fit your needs, but still keep in mind the structural integrity of the final product.
Concrete Slab Applications
We offer specialized pouring services to create stable surfaces for a variety of specific home improvement projects across your property. Our team ensures that each application is engineered to handle the unique weight and usage requirements of its intended purpose.
Garden Sheds
A concrete slab poured for a garden shed will provide your lawn and garden tools with a dry, clean location to store them. It also provides a level surface that prevents moisture from seeping into your equipment. A level surface keeps your tools and lawn mower out of the mud and makes them easier to access.
Garage Floors
When it comes to a garage, a concrete slab is a great option as well. It creates a smooth, durable surface on which you can park your vehicles, workbench, and even make repairs. Additionally, a concrete slab in your garage can withstand the heavy loads of trucks or heavy machinery in your workshop and can hold up against chemical spills.
Home Additions
Adding a new room to your house is another way to utilize a concrete slab. A properly poured and finished slab will add value and stability to your home and become a permanent part of the structure. We take pride in ensuring that every slab we pour is perfectly leveled and structurally sound so that it continues to provide years of service without issues.
Hot Tubs
If you’re looking for a place to relax after a long day, consider installing a hot tub in your backyard. A solid slab is essential for supporting the massive weight of the hot tub and providing a stable surface for the spa to sit on. Additionally, since a hot tub is constantly exposed to water and high temperatures, a slab that is specifically designed for this type of environment is necessary to prevent the mechanical parts of the hot tub from being damaged by settling or shifting.
Backyard Multipurpose Slabs
Finally, we often get asked about creating a large slab in a backyard for a number of reasons. We’ve created large slabs for patios and dedicated play areas for kids. Both types of slabs provide a clean, mud-free zone to enjoy your yard. They also increase the functionality of your yard and make it easier to entertain.
The Midland Concrete Services Slab Process
We follow a rigorous technical process to ensure every slab we pour provides a permanent and reliable foundation for your property. Our team monitors every stage of the installation to prevent common issues like cracking or uneven settling in the West Texas soil.
- Site Evaluation: Before we begin designing your slab, we inspect the site to determine if there are any unique soil conditions or drainage issues that may have an impact on the slab design based on the conditions of your area. It is during this initial evaluation that we identify and address any potential issues that may compromise the stability of the slab in the future.
- Custom Design: Once we understand your needs and requirements, we develop a custom slab plan for your project that complies with the local building codes and incorporates the appropriate thickness and reinforcement to support the intended weight of your structure.
- Site Preparation: Site preparation involves grading and compacting the soil at your site to establish a solid foundation that will not settle over time. We also remove any organic materials from the area where we will be pouring the concrete and grade the soil so that the concrete is placed over a completely uniform surface.
- Forming and Reinforcement: After we prepare the site, we then form and reinforce the slab. The forming is done with precision and includes the addition of steel reinforcement to enhance the tensile strength of the slab. The reinforcement is strategically located within the slab to allow it to handle extreme pressure without failing structurally.
- Concrete Pouring: Once the forms are set up and reinforced, we then pour and level the concrete to produce a uniform surface. Our goal is to complete the pour as quickly as possible and maintain control of the setting time of the concrete to ensure that the entire slab sets as one solid piece.
- Finishing: Once the concrete has finished setting, we then apply the finishing techniques required to meet the needs of your project. Depending upon how you intend to use the slab, we may need to apply a broomed finish for slip resistance or a troweled finish for a garage or other interior application.
- Curing: The last phase of the process is to properly cure the slab. During this process, we take steps to manage the amount of moisture present in the slab as it cures. If the moisture is not managed correctly, the slab may experience shrinkage, and it will never reach its maximum load-bearing capacity.
