Flatwork

Flatwork is the term used for large, flat concrete structures, such as basement floors, garage floors, patios, and driveways. Concrete is the most cost-effective material to use for these types of concrete construction from both a material and labor perspective. And, properly maintained flatwork will last for decades.

Concrete can be finished with a huge variety of decorative textures that are both durable and attractive. Your flatwork can also be stained or dyed to achieve a particular look – or have the structure blend better with its surroundings.

Olson Concrete specializes in concrete flatwork. It is critical to have a knowledgeable and experience professional install your flatwork structure for many reasons, including:

Basement and Garage Floors

Typically interior spaces, this type of flatwork is given a smooth finish for ease of cleaning. Because these structures are protected from the elements, the concrete mix that is used differs slightly from exterior concrete structures to allow for proper curing time and a durable finish.

Driveways, Sidewalks and Patios

Typically used in outdoor spaces, this type of flatwork is finished with a rougher texture by using a brush to allow better traction. Because these types of concrete structures are exposed to the elements and often must bear a heavy load, it is important to use the appropriate concrete mix to assure it cures properly and will withstand the demands placed upon the structure.

Retaining Wall and Foundations for Home Additions

Concrete is a very cost-effective material to use when working with natural surroundings. Essentially concrete wall construction, these structures are used to help prevent erosion, reinforce an area, and facilitate construction on slopes to work with the landscape.

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls do exactly what the name suggests – they make sure the landscape is retained or held in place. Nature is continuously changing, so the construction of a retaining wall must take into account the effect that the natural forces of gravity and expansion/contraction will have on the concrete structure.

Home Additions

Many people decide instead of purchasing a new home, it's more cost-effective to add on to their existing home. Olson Concrete has the capability of excavating and installing foundations and flat work for future home additions.
