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.

Questions We Get
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 quotes free, and how long do they take?
A quote never costs anything. We walk the site with you and send a written quote in a few days, itemized 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.
Over to Hokah
River-bottom ground takes real prep.
Hokah is a small Houston County village tucked into the bluffs near the Mississippi River in the far southeast corner of our range, down where the Root River meets the bottomland not far from La Crescent. It is one of the longer drives we make from Rochester, but it is beautiful country and the folks down here are worth it. The work runs the usual small-town mix: driveways, garage floors, sidewalks, and patios for homes in the village, plus the occasional shed or shop slab on the acreages around it.
What sets Hokah apart is the ground itself. River-bottom and valley soil holds a lot of moisture, and the water table near the Mississippi can sit high. That is the toughest test there is for a concrete slab, because saturated subgrade freezes and heaves harder than dry ground ever will. We do not gloss over it. On low or wet sites we dig deeper, build the base up with well-draining compacted aggregate, and grade aggressively so surface water leaves fast and never collects against the slab. Skipping that step is how a pad ends up cracked and tilted in a couple of years.
The build standard does not flex for the distance or the difficult ground. Half-inch steel rebar set dead-center, an air-entrained mix rated for our freeze and thaw cycle, and control joints sawed within twelve hours so the slab cracks where we direct it. The owner drives down, looks the site over himself, and leaves you with a free written quote broken out line by line so there is nothing buried in the number. No pressure, no upsell, fully insured and bonded.
The tricky river-bottom ground around Hokah is exactly the kind of site where cheap concrete work falls apart fast, and where careful prep pays off the most. A lot of crews will pour the same slab on wet bottomland that they would pour on dry, high ground, and the result is predictable: a cracked, tilted pad within a couple of winters. We do not work that way. We size the prep to the site, and if the ground needs more dig, more base, or harder drainage to hold a slab, that is what we do. Anything less is just setting up a callback.
To get a project moving in Hokah, give us a call and tell us what you are looking at. We will set a time to drive down, walk the site, and read the ground and the water before we talk numbers. You will get a free written quote broken out line by line, with no obligation to hire us. On wet or low sites especially, we will be straight with you about what the job really takes, because there is no honest way around doing the prep right.
