Concrete Flatwork

Concrete flatwork refers to any poured concrete surface that's essentially flat, including sidewalks, floors, patios, and slabs. It's the foundation of countless construction projects.

At OAX Construction, we specialize in precision flatwork that meets the highest standards. Our experienced crews ensure proper grading, reinforcement, and finishing for surfaces that are level, durable, and built to last. Serving Kalamazoo, MI and surrounding communities including Portage, Mattawan, and Richland, we bring reliable craftsmanship to every flatwork project.

Every successful flatwork project starts with careful planning. Our team begins with a thorough site evaluation, assessing soil conditions, drainage patterns, and the intended use of the surface. For Kalamazoo area properties, we pay special attention to Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement, which are critical factors in long-term concrete performance.

Once the site is prepared, we establish proper grading to ensure water drains away from structures. We install a compacted aggregate base, set precision forms, and place steel reinforcement as needed. Our concrete is poured, screeded, and finished with attention to proper joint spacing to control cracking.

After finishing, we apply curing compounds to ensure the concrete reaches full strength. We follow up with clients to explain proper care and sealing schedules to maximize the lifespan of their new flatwork.
