Replacing your garage concrete pad

4/2/2023

 
If you need to replace your garage concrete pad, here are the steps you can follow:
  1. Remove the old concrete pad: Use a jackhammer or concrete saw to break up the old concrete pad into manageable pieces. Remove the pieces and dispose of them properly.
  2. Prepare the area: Level the ground and make sure it is compacted and free of debris. Use stakes and string to mark the area where the new concrete pad will be poured.
  3. Install forms: Use wood or metal forms to create a boundary around the area where the new concrete pad will be poured. The forms will hold the concrete in place while it sets.
  4. Add a gravel base: Pour a layer of gravel or crushed stone over the area where the new concrete pad will be poured. This will provide a stable base for the concrete to rest on.
  5. Pour the new concrete: Mix the concrete according to the manufacturer's instructions and pour it into the forms. Use a screed or trowel to smooth out the surface of the concrete.
  6. Add finishing touches: Use a broom or texture roller to add texture to the surface of the concrete. This will improve traction and make the surface less slippery. You can also add color or a sealer to protect the concrete and improve its appearance.
  7. Allow time to cure: Let the concrete cure for at least 24 hours before walking on it, and wait at least 7 days before parking a vehicle on it.
By following these steps, you can replace your garage concrete pad and ensure that it is stable, level, and durable. It is recommended to hire a professional contractor if you do not have experience in working with concrete.  Concrete contractors in Jacksonville.
