When homeowners think about concrete, they often picture driveways or foundations—but there's another essential element that brings structure, safety, and style to outdoor spaces: concrete flat work.

At CBD Concrete, we provide precise, durable flat work solutions for patios, walkways, sidewalks, and more. If it’s horizontal, walkable, and concrete—we’ve likely built it. Flat work isn’t just filler; it’s the connective tissue of your outdoor environment, and doing it right makes a real difference.

What Is Concrete Flat Work?

Concrete flat work refers to any concrete structure poured on a horizontal plane. It’s used for:

• Patios
• Sidewalks
• Walkways
• Garage floors
• Shed foundations
• Basketball or sport court bases

This type of work requires a unique blend of technical skill and artistic finesse. From forming clean lines to ensuring proper leveling and drainage, flat work is more than just laying concrete—it’s shaping how people move through your space.

Why Flat Work Quality Matters

Here’s why quality flat work should never be overlooked:

1. Long-Term Durability

Cheap or rushed flat work can crack, settle unevenly, or deteriorate over time. At CBD Concrete, we use high-strength mixes and proven techniques to ensure our flat work holds up year after year—even under Texas heat.

2. Visual Appeal

Smooth finishes, clean edges, and aligned sections all impact the look of your outdoor areas. Whether it’s your front walkway or your backyard patio, quality flat work adds polish and curb appeal.

3. Safety

Proper leveling, non-slip textures, and solid workmanship are essential for safe walkways and patios. Uneven or crumbling flat work can be a tripping hazard, especially for kids and older adults.

4. Drainage and Water Flow

Flat work done wrong can cause water pooling or runoff that damages your landscaping or foundation. We design with slope and drainage in mind to protect your property long-term.

Flat Work for Outdoor Living Spaces

Want to create the perfect patio for entertaining or relaxing? Flat work is the foundation—literally. A well-formed concrete patio offers:

• A stable base for outdoor furniture
• Custom finishes like stamped concrete or broom textures
• A low-maintenance solution compared to wood decking

We can shape your patio to fit around landscaping, fire pits, or pergolas. We’ll even help you decide between color additives, expansion joint placement, and surface finishes.

Walkways and Sidewalks That Last

If your front walk is cracked, uneven, or just doesn’t match the rest of your property, a flat work replacement can completely transform the look and feel of your entrance.

We create custom concrete walkways that guide guests safely and beautifully. Whether you're connecting your front yard to your backyard or need ADA-compliant access paths, we design for both form and function.

Finishes, Textures & Customizations

CBD Concrete doesn’t do “cookie-cutter.” Every project is tailored to fit your home’s aesthetic. Some of our flat work customization options include:

• Broom Finish – Classic, clean, and great for traction
• Salt Finish – Subtle texture with a speckled look
• Stamped Concrete – Get the look of stone, tile, or wood
• Colored Concrete – Add tones that match your home or landscape

You tell us the vibe you’re going for—sleek, rustic, natural—and we’ll build it.
