Site Prep for Slabs, Driveways & Sheds in Arlington, TX

What We Prepare

• Slab and patio pads dug to depth, leveled and compacted, ready for forms.
• Driveway and parking pads, including old concrete or asphalt removal and new base.
• Shed, carport and workshop pads with a crushed-stone base.
• Additions and outbuildings: rough grading and footing trenches.
• Playsets, hot tubs and sport courts on level, well-drained ground.

How We Do It

1. Mark the footprint and check the slope so the finished pad drains away from the house.
2. Strip grass and topsoil, then cut high spots and fill low spots.
3. Add base material, such as crushed stone or select fill, where needed.
4. Compact in layers with a plate compactor or roller.
5. Check level, haul off the extra soil and leave it ready for your concrete crew or builder.
