Flat Work Concrete: The Foundation of Every Great Outdoor Space

If you’ve ever admired a clean, even patio or walked safely along a smooth sidewalk, you’ve experienced the benefits of flat work concrete. It may not always steal the spotlight, but it’s one of the most important elements in both residential and commercial construction.

At CBD Concrete, we specialize in professional flat work—including patios, walkways, slabs, ramps, and other horizontal surfaces that form the functional base of outdoor areas. Whether you're upgrading a backyard or laying the groundwork for a new business facility, we deliver high-quality, long-lasting results every time.

What Is Flat Work Concrete?

Flat work refers to any horizontal concrete surface that is poured and finished at grade level. It’s one of the most common—and critical—types of concrete services, providing not only visual appeal but also functionality and safety.

Typical examples include:

  • Patios
  • Sidewalks and pathways
  • Garage slabs and floor slabs
  • Ramps for accessibility or deliveries
  • Courtyards and outdoor lounge areas

Flat work must be carefully leveled, graded, and reinforced to ensure proper drainage, longevity, and minimal cracking.

Why Homeowners and Commercial Managers Need Quality Flat Work

Both residential and commercial properties rely on flat work for multiple purposes:

For Homeowners:

  • Patios create a relaxing outdoor living space for entertaining and leisure
  • Walkways improve accessibility and curb appeal
  • Driveway extensions offer extra parking space
  • Shed slabs or AC pads provide reliable bases for equipment or structures

For Commercial Properties:

  • Entryways and ramps ensure accessibility and ADA compliance
  • Courtyards enhance usability and value for tenants or visitors
  • Concrete pads serve as bases for HVAC units, dumpsters, or staging areas

Every flat work project should be built to last—especially in Texas, where hot weather and heavy rains test durability.

Our Flat Work Process

At CBD Concrete, we ensure precision and quality from start to finish:

  1. Site Prep & Grading

  2. Form Building & Reinforcement
    Wood forms and rebar give your slab shape and strength where it counts.
  3. Concrete Pouring
    We use premium concrete mixes and pour with an expert eye for evenness and consistency.
  4. Finishing
