Concrete That Works as Hard as You Do
Commercial concrete lives a harder life than residential: delivery trucks, forklifts, constant foot traffic, and no tolerance for downtime. We build commercial flatwork to commercial standards — thicker slabs, heavier steel, proper subgrade prep — and we schedule the work around your business, not the other way around.
What We Pour for Businesses
- Parking areas and drive lanes. 6-inch slabs with rebar where trucks travel and park.
- Loading docks and aprons. Heavy-duty concrete at dock faces and trailer staging areas.
- Dumpster pads. Thickened pads with bollards — the small job that saves the asphalt around it.
- Sidewalks and ADA work. Accessible routes, ramps, and detectable warnings built to ADA slope and width requirements.
- Equipment pads. Level, vibration-ready pads for generators, HVAC, and machinery.
- Curbs and gutters. Site concrete that manages water and defines the property.
Scheduled Around Your Operation
We phase the work so your business keeps running: pour in sections, work nights or weekends when needed, and keep access open. Before we start, you get a written schedule with dates — and we hit them. Downtime costs you money; we treat the schedule as part of the spec.
Specs, Permits, and Paperwork
Commercial work in Fairfax County means site plans, permits, and inspections. We work from your plans or help develop the scope, pull the required permits, and coordinate inspections. Submittals, mix designs, and documentation are part of the package — the paperwork your project needs, handled.

Tell us about the site — square footage, loads, timeline — and we will walk it, review the plans, and give you a written quote with a schedule attached.
Commercial Concrete Is a Different Spec
Residential concrete is built for cars. Commercial concrete is built for trucks — delivery vehicles, forklifts, dumpsters, and the daily punishment of a working site. The spec changes accordingly: 6-inch slabs instead of 4, rebar instead of mesh in traffic lanes, deeper compacted base, and joints laid out for the loads. Drainage gets engineered, not eyeballed — a loading dock that ponds water is a safety and liability problem. And the schedule is part of the spec: phased pours that keep the business operating, night and weekend work where daytime pours would shut you down, and dates that hold. If a contractor quotes your commercial job like a big driveway, keep looking.
Our Process: Walk-Through to Final Inspection
- Site walk and scope. We walk the site with you, review your plans if you have them, and define the scope — areas, loads, drainage, ADA requirements, timeline. You get a written quote with a schedule attached.
- Plans and permits. We work from your civil plans or help develop the concrete scope, pull Fairfax County permits, and coordinate the inspections the job requires.
- Phasing plan. Before mobilizing, you get the phase map: what gets poured when, how access is maintained, and what happens each day. Your operation keeps running.
- Subgrade and steel. The subgrade gets prepared and compacted to spec, steel placed per the drawings, forms set. Inspections happen at the hold points.
- Pour, finish, cure. Commercial mixes placed to spec, finished for the use — broom for traffic areas, hard trowel where specified — and cured properly before loading. Final walkthrough and documentation close the job.
What Commercial Flatwork Costs in Fairfax County
Commercial concrete is quoted per project — the variables (loads, spec, phasing, schedule constraints) make square-foot ranges misleading. As a planning reference, commercial flatwork typically runs $12 to $20 per square foot depending on thickness, steel, and site conditions, with small or complex jobs running higher. The written quote after our site walk is the real number: scope, spec, schedule, and price, all in writing and free.
ADA Details That Make or Break Site Concrete
Commercial site concrete lives under ADA scrutiny, and the details are unforgiving. Accessible routes need 36-inch minimum clear width; ramps max out at 1:12 slope with level landings; cross-slopes cannot exceed 1:48 — a number that is easy to blow with a careless screed pass. Detectable warning surfaces go at curb ramps and hazardous drop-offs, aligned correctly, not just present. And the whole accessible route has to connect — a perfect ramp to nowhere fails inspection as surely as a bad one. We build ADA elements to the numbers, verify slopes with a digital level as we go, and coordinate the inspection so there are no surprises at sign-off. On commercial work, the paperwork is part of the pour.
