Foundations
We form and pour footings, stem walls and slab-on-grade foundations for new homes, additions, ADUs and garages. The design comes from your engineer, and we build what the plans show.

A concrete slab is the flat pad your garage, shed, workshop or equipment sits on. We form, pour and finish slabs for homeowners and businesses around Modesto. Every slab starts with the ground under it. A pad is only as solid as the base below it.
Concrete Solutions is a licensed C-8 concrete contractor in Modesto. We pour slabs about 65 miles out across the Central Valley. Tell us what will sit on the pad and we size it from there. A garden shed pad and a shop floor call for different thickness and different steel.

A garage slab carries cars, tool chests and whatever you roll across it. We set the forms to the building line and compact the base first. Thickness and steel follow the use, or the plans when a building sits on top. Inside a building we usually finish smooth, since a broom finish is hard to sweep.
Shed pads are simpler. We grade the spot, form it square and pour a flat pad that drains away from the door. Slabs for an ADU or a room addition are a bigger job, because walls land on them. Those pours follow the engineer's drawings, and we also form the footings and stem walls that go with them.
Shop and workshop floors take more abuse than a house slab. Heavy tools, pallet jacks and delivery traffic all work on the same pad. We plan thickness, reinforcement and joint layout around that load. Slabs on commercial and industrial sites get the same treatment at a bigger scale.
An equipment pad has one job. It holds a machine flat and still while the machine runs. We pour pads for HVAC units, generators, water tanks and machine bases inside shops. Anchor bolts or sleeves get set while the concrete is still wet, so bring us the layout before pour day.
An RV pad holds far more weight than a car does. We pour those thicker, with steel through the pad and joints where they belong. Many RV pads tie into the existing driveway, so we match the grade and the finish. If that driveway is cracked or too narrow, we can pour a new concrete driveway at the same time.
A basketball or sport court is a plain slab with a hard, flat surface. We form it to the size you want and slope it just enough to shed water. A pad for outdoor furniture and a grill is really a backyard patio, and it gets a different finish.
Most of the work happens before any concrete shows up. We strip the sod and soft dirt, grade the pad and compact the base in lifts. Valley ground runs from sandy loam to clay, and some spots have hardpan under the topsoil. What we find there sets how much base rock the pad needs.
Where the plans call for a vapor barrier, it goes down over the base before the steel. Rebar or wire mesh gets tied and held at the right height in the slab. Control joints are cut or tooled on a spacing that matches the thickness. Concrete shrinks as it dries, and the joints decide where it cracks.
Summer here runs long and dry, with plenty of days over 100 degrees. Hot concrete sets fast, so the crew has less time to finish the surface. We start early on those days and keep the slab damp while it cures. Winter pours wait out the rain and the cold nights.

Call or text (209) 606-9904 and tell us what you want poured. You can send photos of the area if you have them.
We come out to look at the job, measure it and check the slope and the existing surface. This is where questions about thickness, joints and finish get answered.
You get a written estimate. It lists the area, the thickness, the finish and what the price covers.
We form the job, grade and compact the base, set rebar or mesh, then pour and finish. Control joints get cut so the slab cracks where it should.
We clean up the site and tell you how to look after the new concrete. That covers when you can walk on it, when you can drive on it and when to reseal.

The same company pours a backyard patio and a warehouse floor. Homeowners, property managers and general contractors all get the same crew and the same process.
Stamping, integral color, micro topping and staining are done by our own crew. That keeps the color and the texture consistent from the pour through the final seal.
