“Porter was a pleasure to deal with, helped us out when so many other contractors we’re not responsive. Poured a very solid driveway and sidewalk. Everything came out very well! Will be using his services again in our next project.”

Concrete Flatwork Installation with American Viking Concrete
Our focus on personalized service ensures that each installation reflects your vision while being built to withstand the unique challenges of Idaho’s climate.
A slab is the base everything else sits on, so it has to be level, square and strong enough for what goes on top: a shed, a detached garage or shop, a hot tub, an RV or an addition to the house. The thickness, reinforcement and edges are planned around that load.
How it works
From first call to finished job
- Step 1
Share your project
Driveway, patio, slab or repair: tell us the rough size, the finish you have in mind and your address. Photos of the area help.
- Step 2
Measure and plan
The area is measured and checked for slope, drainage, access for the concrete truck and any old concrete that has to come out.
- Step 3
A clear quote
You get a quote that spells out the size, thickness, base, reinforcement, finish and removal of old concrete, so you know what's included.
- Step 4
Prep, pour and cure
The ground is excavated, the base compacted and the forms set, then the concrete is poured, finished and jointed. You'll know how long to wait before walking or driving on it.
What's included
Concrete Flatwork Installation: what we handle
- Garage and shop floors: Slabs for detached garages, workshops and pole barns, finished smooth and level.
- Shed and storage pads: Level pads so sheds and storage buildings sit square and stay dry.
- RV and parking pads: Thicker slabs for RVs, boats and trailers, tied into the driveway where possible.
- Hot tub pads: Pads sized and reinforced for the weight of a filled hot tub.
- Vapor barrier and base: A compacted gravel base, plus a vapor barrier under interior slabs to keep ground moisture out.
- Ready for framing: Thickened edges and anchor bolts set where the walls will go, so framing can follow.

FAQ
Concrete Flatwork Installation: common questions
How thick should a concrete slab be?
Four inches is standard for sheds, patios and light use. Garage floors, RV pads and slabs for heavy equipment are typically 5 to 6 inches or more, with thickened edges where walls or heavy loads sit. Local code and the building plans may set the requirement.
Do I need a permit for a slab?
Slabs for garages, shops and additions are usually part of a building permit, and some cities require permits for large sheds or accessory buildings. A simple pad often doesn't need one. Your city's building department has the final word.
Why does a slab need a vapor barrier?
Concrete lets ground moisture wick up through it. Under a garage, shop or addition, a vapor barrier keeps that moisture from damaging flooring, stored items and anything glued to the slab. Outdoor pads usually don't need one.
