Whether you’re installing a patio, a shed base, or a new outdoor workspace, placing your concrete slab in the right location is critical. Poor placement can lead to drainage issues, structural instability, or even problems with building code compliance.
At Prestige Concrete, we specialize in precision-poured concrete slabs—and we know the location can make or break your project. Here’s how to choose the best spot.
A well-placed slab ensures:
Always choose a location with a slight slope or ensure one can be created. A flat or inward-sloping area invites pooling water, which leads to cracks or soil erosion. Our team always checks and preps the base to guarantee proper runoff.
If you're building a patio slab, think about how much sun the space gets. Do you want shade during summer? Morning light? Placement can drastically impact your comfort.
Your slab should maintain a proper distance from existing foundations or buildings to prevent water runoff issues and allow for expansion joints. This is especially important when you're adding a slab near your house or garage.
Soft, sandy, or unstable soil needs to be properly compacted—or it can cause the slab to settle unevenly. We test and prepare the ground before pouring to ensure maximum stability.
No matter the use, correct slab placement is the first step to a successful project.
DIY slab placement often leads to costly mistakes. At Prestige Concrete, we not only pour high-quality slabs, but we help you plan, prepare, and select the optimal site.
Our experts assess grading, local code requirements, and long-term usage—all before a single frame is built.
Getting the most out of your concrete slab starts with placing it in the right location. From patios to shed foundations, a well-positioned slab provides years of reliable use without surprises.
