Working Farm Flatwork
Agricultural Concrete
Built to last.
Grain-bin foundations, silo base slabs, feedlot pads, feed-bunk slabs, push walls, cattle-lot slabs, poultry-house floors. Heavy-reinforced spec throughout, engineered for the actual load — not a spec-sheet average.
What Every Pour Includes
The spec does not bend because the job is small.
01
Base & Prep
We do not pour on what we cannot stand on.
Four inches of compacted Class 5 base, grade set for drainage, vapor barriers where the spec calls for them. Luck gets you through one winter. Prep gets you through twenty.
02
Reinforcement
Half-inch steel rebar. Every slab.
Wire mesh lifts when you walk a wet pour. Half-inch steel on sixteen-inch centers, sitting dead-center in the slab — right where freeze-thaw stress wants to split it.
03
Finish & Cure
Sharp joints. Straight edges.
Control joints saw-cut within twelve hours. Hand-troweled to a hairline flatness. Cured under tarp when weather demands. No touch-ups after we leave.

Frequently Asked
Questions we get.
Do you handle the prep work yourself?
We handle it all. Topsoil strip, excavation to depth, grading for drainage, and four inches of compacted Class 5 base. We don’t sub the prep out because the prep decides whether your slab holds or cracks.
What reinforcement do you use, and why?
Half-inch steel rebar on sixteen-inch centers, placed on chairs so it sits dead-center in the slab. Wire mesh is cheaper but it lifts during the pour and ends up at the bottom where it does nothing for tensile stress.
How does your concrete hold up to Minnesota winters?
Freeze/thaw survival is engineered, not hoped for. Air-entrained mix, proper cure time before first freeze, control joints within 12 hours, and positive drainage so water never sits on the slab.
Are estimates free, and how long do they take?
Every estimate is free. We come out, walk the project, and hand you a written quote within a few days — broken out by prep, reinforcement, concrete, and finish. No pressure, no upsell.
What happens if something goes wrong after the pour?
We’re insured and bonded, and every pour comes with a written warranty covering workmanship. You call us and we come look at it. We’re based in Rochester and we’re not going anywhere.
