Concrete Slabs for South Jersey properties.
Concrete slabs for sheds, additions, equipment pads, and exterior structures.
From a garage slab to a shed pad or equipment pad, we size the thickness and reinforcement to match what's going on top of it.

- Site prep
- Proper base work
Built for the Job
Concrete Slabs for Garages, Sheds & Equipment
Not every slab needs to be built the same way. A shed pad, a garage floor, and a pad for a hot tub or generator all carry different loads, so we size the thickness and reinforcement to match the actual use.
We handle excavation, forming, and finishing ourselves, so the base and slab come from one crew instead of being pieced together.
Site Evaluation & Sizing
Sizing the Slab to Its Purpose
We start by walking the site with you to confirm exactly what the slab needs to support — a shed, a vehicle, outdoor equipment — and size it accordingly, with room to grow if you're planning ahead.
We also check access to the site before we quote, since a slab poured in a tight side yard needs different equipment and planning than one in an open backyard.
- On-site evaluation of what the slab needs to support
- Sizing based on current and future use
- Access planning for tight or hard-to-reach sites
- Written quote before any work is scheduled
Base Preparation
A Base That Won't Shift or Settle
We excavate to the proper depth and compact a stone base so the slab stays level and doesn't crack or settle unevenly, especially important for garage slabs carrying vehicle weight.
This matters even more on sandy or soft soil, which is common in parts of South Jersey.
Slab Types & Uses
Choosing the Right Slab for the Job
Garage slabs, shed pads, and equipment pads all have different requirements. We'll help you figure out what your project actually needs before we quote it.
Here's how the most common slab types compare:
| Slab Type | Typical Size | Common Use |
|---|---|---|
| Shed pad | 8x10 to 12x16 ft | Storage sheds, small structures |
| Garage slab | Sized to garage footprint | New garage or replacement floor |
| Equipment pad | Varies by equipment | Generators, hot tubs, AC units |
Thickness & Reinforcement
The Right Thickness for What Sits on It
A shed pad doesn't need the same thickness as a garage slab that will carry vehicle weight. We size the thickness and reinforcement — wire mesh or rebar — to the actual load.
Getting this wrong is the main reason slabs crack early. We'd rather size it correctly the first time.
- 4 inches with wire mesh for shed and equipment pads
- 4 to 5 inches with reinforcement for garage slabs
- Thicker slabs and rebar for heavier equipment
- Control joints placed to manage cracking
Cost Factors
What Affects Slab Cost
Slab pricing depends on square footage, thickness, site access, and how much base prep is needed. A simple shed pad costs far less than a full garage slab.

Why It Matters
A Slab Sized Right the First Time
Whether it's a shed pad or a garage floor, we size and build every slab to match what's actually going on top of it.
- Thickness and reinforcement matched to the load
- Proper base prep so it doesn't shift or crack
- Sized for current use with room to grow
- Written estimate and timeline before we start

Common Questions
Concrete Slab Questions
Quick answers about slab installation. Have a different question? Call (609) 859-8488.
How thick should my garage slab be?
Most residential garage slabs are 4 to 5 inches thick with wire mesh or rebar reinforcement, depending on what you'll park or store on it.
Can you pour a slab for a shed I'm ordering?
Yes. Tell us the shed dimensions and we'll size the pad to fit, usually with a few inches of clearance on each side.
Do you handle equipment pads for generators or hot tubs?
Yes. We size and reinforce pads for generators, hot tubs, HVAC units, and similar equipment based on the manufacturer's requirements.
How long before I can use a new slab?
You can typically walk on it after 24 to 48 hours. We recommend waiting at least 7 days before parking a vehicle or placing heavy equipment on it.
Can you remove an old, cracked slab before pouring a new one?
Yes. We remove and haul away the old slab, check the base underneath, and pour new.
