Projects
Four jobs, done the same careful way
Every slab gets the same build underneath: the soft soil dug out, a compacted gravel base, rebar on chairs, and control joints.
Walkways
From the driveway to the door, or around the side yard.
- 3 or 4 ft wide is typical
- Control joints every few feet
- Broom finish for grip in the rain
Pads
For a shed, an AC unit, trash bins or a hot tub.
- Level and square, ready to build on
- Hot tub pads are 6 in thick
- Sized to what sits on them
Steps
A new entry at the front or back door.
- Precast: a Century Group factory-made unit, set in place in a few hours
- Poured: formed on site, standard or wrap-around
- 2, 3 or 4 steps, 48 in wide, 7 in rise
Finishes
Pick your finish
The finish is the top of the slab: what you see and walk on.
Broom
The classic: a fine brushed texture.
- Good grip when wet
- The classic choice
- Lowest price
Exposed aggregate
The top layer washed away to show the stones.
- Warm, natural look
- Very good grip
- Hides wear and stains
Sand finish
A fine, even sand texture (Topcast).
- Smooth to the eye, still grippy
- A clean modern look
- Takes the most care to finish

Under the surface
How a slab is built
The part you never see decides how long a slab lasts. Every patio, walkway and pad gets the same build.
Standards
The standard every slab meets
What's under the surface decides how long a slab lasts.
- Dug to firm soil
Sod, roots and soft soil come out, so the slab sits on solid ground.
- Compacted gravel base
4 in of 5/8-minus gravel, compacted, running 6 in past each edge, so the slab drains and the edges don’t settle.
- Rebar on chairs
Steel set in the middle of the slab, where it does its job, never lying in the gravel.
- Control joints
Cut or tooled lines so any fine cracks follow straight lines.
- Right weather only
No pours in rain or near-freezing weather. Concrete is poured April through October; if the forecast turns, the pour date moves.

FAQ
Common questions
Do I need a permit?
It depends on your city and the project. Check your city’s rules before you book; if you’re not sure, book a Design & Layout Visit and your contractor looks at it with you.
When can it be poured?
Concrete is poured April through October. You can book and pay now for a date in those months.
Why do you need photos?
Two photos of the area show what has to be cleared and how a truck gets there. We review them before your pour date: if the site needs more prep than they show, you get a corrected price to accept, or a full refund.
What if there’s lawn or old concrete where it goes?
Lawn is stripped and hauled away, and it’s part of your online price. Old concrete or asphalt has to be broken out first, so we price that from photos.
When can I use it?
Walk on it after about a day and put furniture on it after about a week. Concrete reaches full strength in about four weeks.
What if it rains?
Concrete isn’t poured in rain or near-freezing weather. If the forecast turns, your pour date moves.
Will it match my old concrete?
New concrete is lighter than old concrete for the first months and never matches exactly. Exposed aggregate and sand finishes hide the difference best.
Will it crack?
Any concrete can get fine cracks. Control joints make them follow straight lines, and rebar keeps the pieces together.
Precast or poured steps?
Precast steps are a Century Group factory-made unit set in place in a few hours, and cost less. Poured steps are formed on site to fit your door and can wrap around the sides.
Can you do a driveway or stamped concrete?
Yes. Those need a look at grade, soil and design first, so they start with a Design & Layout Visit and a written quote.
Concrete or pavers?
Poured concrete is one solid slab. Pavers are set one by one and can be lifted and reset. See our patios and walls page for pavers.
What about bigger jobs?
Online booking goes up to one fixed price for a standard job. Bigger jobs, driveways and stamped concrete start with a Design & Layout Visit and a written quote.
