Concrete Pads

Concrete Pad Construction in North Port Fl


 When you need a concrete pad that’s solid, level, and built to stand the test of time, you don’t call just anybody — you call folks who know how to do it right the first time. At North Port Concrete Pro, we specialize in high-quality concrete pad construction for all kinds of residential and commercial needs — from backyard sheds and hot tubs to garages, barns, RV parking, and more.
We’ve been working concrete for years, and let’s be honest — it’s hard work. But we wouldn’t trade it for anything. Because when that final float smooths out the surface and you step back to admire a pad that’s flat, solid, and square, you know you’ve done something real. That’s the kind of pride we bring to every job.

What Is a Concrete Pad? 
​A concrete pad is a flat, poured surface made of reinforced concrete, typically used to support structures, heavy equipment, or serve as a strong, permanent flooring option outdoors. Sometimes calls a slab, but we think there is a difference! Whether you're building a detached garage, setting up a shed, installing a hot tub, or parking an RV, you need a level and durable base that won't crack, shift, or sink.

It sounds simple, but if you’ve ever seen a pad poured by a handyman who just wings it, you know how wrong it can go. We don’t cut corners. We take the time to dig, prep, form, pour, and finish everything by the book.

Common Uses for Concrete Pads


We’ve poured pads for just about every use you can think of. Some of the most common include:
  • Shed foundations
  • Garage floors
  • Barn and agricultural pads
  • Hot tub bases
  • AC unit or generator platforms
  • Patio foundations
  • Trash bin or recycling enclosures
  • Outdoor workshop floors
  • Dog kennels
  • sport pads
  • RV and trailer parking
If you’ve got something heavy or permanent that needs a solid base — we’ve got your back (and your slab).

Why Choose Us?
✅ Proper Site Prep: It all starts with prep. We don’t just show up with a wheelbarrow and hope for the best. We assess the site, check for drainage issues, compact the soil, and add a crushed stone base if needed. A good base means your pad won’t shift or crack over time.
✅ Solid Forms & Reinforcement: We build sturdy forms with clean edges and tight corners. If rebar or wire mesh is needed, we’ll put it in the right place and tie it off the right way. No shortcuts. Ever.
✅ Correct Mix, Poured Right: We use high-quality concrete with the right PSI for the job. Some pads can get away with 3,000 PSI. Others need 4,000 or more — especially if you’re parking heavy equipment. We’ll figure that out for you. Then we pour it smooth and steady.
✅ Finished With Care: We finish every pad with a professional touch — whether that’s a broom finish for grip, or a smooth trowel if needed. Edges are clean, corners are sharp, and nothing’s left sloppy.

Thickness Matters — Here’s Why One of the most common questions we get is: “How thick should my concrete pad be?”
Here’s a quick breakdown:
  • Sheds, AC units, or hot tubs – 4 inches thick
  • Garage floors or small workshops – 5–6 inches thick
  • Heavy-duty use (trucks, RVs, farm equipment) – 6+ inches with rebar
  • Structural or load-bearing pads – May require engineered specs and footings
We’ll walk you through what’s best for your project, but rest assured — we never skimp on thickness just to save a buck.

Reinforcement: Do You Need Rebar? In most cases, yes.
Rebar or wire mesh helps keep the pad from cracking or shifting. We use:
  • 6x6 wire mesh for general applications
  • #3 or #4 rebar for high-strength jobs or where codes require it
We place reinforcement properly — in the middle third of the slab, where it actually does its job. A lot of fly-by-night guys toss it on the dirt and pour right over it. That’s not us.

Our Concrete Pad Process:  Here’s how we handle each job from start to finish:
  1. Free On-Site Estimate – We’ll come by, measure everything, and give you a straight answer and a fair quote.
  2. Permits & Codes – If it needs a permit, we’ll walk you through it. We know the local codes and won’t leave you in a jam.
  3. Excavation & Base Prep – We dig to the proper depth and lay a gravel base where needed.
  4. Formwork – We build solid wood forms with correct slope and dimensions.
  5. Reinforcement – We install rebar or wire mesh depending on the load requirements.
  6. Pouring the Concrete – We use reliable mix suppliers and pour at the right slump and thickness.
  7. Finishing – Trowel, broom, or specialty finish depending on your needs.
  8. Curing & Cleanup – We advise proper curing and clean up the site before we leave.

What Affects the Cost?Pricing depends on a few key factors:
  • Size of the pad (square footage)
  • Thickness and reinforcement
  • Site access (tight spaces cost more)
  • Base prep (grading, gravel, excavation)
  • Finish type (basic vs decorative)
  • Permit or engineering requirements
But we keep things fair and transparent. No surprises.
