A concrete slab provides a solid, level foundation for sheds, workshops, equipment pads, outdoor structures, and more. We install residential and commercial concrete slabs in Charleston, and regularly complete projects throughout Columbia, Sumter, and surrounding South Carolina communities with proper base preparation and reinforcement.
A concrete slab is a flat, horizontal concrete surface poured directly on grade or over a prepared base. Slabs are used as foundations for buildings, equipment pads, outdoor structures, storage areas, and a wide range of residential and commercial applications.
Proper slab installation involves excavation, base compaction, form setting, reinforcement placement, and controlled pouring and finishing. The thickness, reinforcement, and base preparation depend on what the slab will support—a backyard shed pad requires different specs than an industrial equipment foundation.
At Next Level Concrete, we size every slab to its intended use. We don't pour 4-inch residential slabs where 6-inch commercial-grade work is required. We build slabs that perform for decades, not just pass inspection.
You're installing a shed, workshop, or detached garage
You need a foundation for HVAC units, generators, or outdoor equipment
You're building a carport, RV pad, or boat storage area
You need a level surface for outdoor storage or a work area
A commercial project requires a machine pad or structural foundation
You're adding an addition and need a new foundation slab
Homeowners across Summerville, Goose Creek, and the Wescott Plantation area rely on us for shed pads, workshop foundations, and backyard concrete work. We pour slabs that stay level and don't crack under normal use.
Commercial and industrial projects along the Highway 78 corridor and throughout North Charleston require slabs engineered for heavy loads and long-term performance. We work with contractors, facility managers, and business owners on projects of all sizes.
We size every slab for its intended use. A shed pad doesn't need the same specs as an equipment foundation. We determine the right thickness, reinforcement, and base prep for your specific application.
Most slab failures come from poor base work. We excavate to the correct depth, install and compact aggregate base material, and ensure proper drainage before any concrete is poured.
We set forms precisely and verify level before pouring. A slab that's out of square or off-level creates problems for whatever structure or equipment goes on top of it.
Sandy soils, high water tables, and heavy rain are facts of life in Charleston. We know how to prep sites and pour slabs that hold up in these conditions.
We carry proper licensing and liability coverage. You're working with a professional contractor who stands behind their work.
We evaluate your site, discuss the intended use, and provide a detailed quote with clear specifications for thickness, reinforcement, and finishing.
We excavate the area, grade for drainage, install aggregate base material, and compact to proper density.
Forms are set square and level. Rebar or wire mesh is placed according to the slab specifications and intended load requirements.
Concrete is poured, spread, consolidated, and finished to a smooth, level surface. Control joints are cut to manage cracking.
The slab is allowed to cure properly before loading. We remove forms, clean up the site, and review care instructions with you.
Whether it's a shed pad, equipment foundation, or commercial slab, we'll assess your site, explain your options, and give you a clear quote. Call us or request an estimate online.
