The slab itself

What goes into a concrete slab before the pour?

A slab is only as good as what sits under it. At Rytren Concrete in Pearland, TX, a slab job starts with a look at the site: how big the pad needs to be, how the ground sits, and what the slab will carry. Then the crew builds wood forms to the outline, lays black poly as a vapor barrier, and sets a grid of rebar and wire mesh before any concrete arrives. Those layers are the ones you see in our own job photos, and they are the part of the work that disappears once the slab is finished. The pour is then leveled and finished to suit how the slab will be used. We build slabs for shops, garages and carports, home additions, patios and metal buildings across Pearland and the towns around it.

Before the truck arrives

What goes under the pour

Four layers of work happen before concrete is placed. These are photos from Rytren Concrete jobs.

1

Forms

Wood forms are set to the outline of the slab, so the edges and shape are fixed before anything goes inside.
2

Vapor barrier

Black poly goes down across the pad, so the slab does not sit directly on bare ground.
3

Steel

Rebar and wire mesh are laid out in a grid inside the forms, sized to what the slab will carry.
4

Pour and finish

Concrete is placed, leveled and finished once the forms, poly and steel are in place.

Slab questions

Concrete slab FAQ for Pearland, TX

How much does a concrete slab cost in Pearland?

The price depends on the size of the slab, how thick it is, how much steel goes in it, how much site prep the ground needs and how easy it is to get equipment and concrete to the spot. Eric looks at the job before quoting, so the number fits your slab. Request a quote to get one.

How thick should my slab be, and does it need steel?

It depends on what the slab will carry. A patio slab and a shop or metal building slab are not asked to do the same job, so thickness and steel are matched to the use. Our slabs are formed with rebar and wire mesh over a vapor barrier. Eric explains the plan for your slab during the quote visit.

What site prep happens before a slab is poured?

The crew sets wood forms to the slab outline, lays black poly as a vapor barrier and sets the rebar and wire mesh. How much ground work comes first depends on the lot. Access matters too, because concrete trucks and crew need a clear way to reach the pad. City and HOA requirements are checked where they apply.

How long does a slab project take?

It depends on the size of the slab, the weather and the time concrete needs to cure. A small patio slab and a large shop slab are very different jobs. Eric sets the schedule at the quote visit, once he has seen the site and knows what needs to happen before the pour.

We are based in Pearland and build slabs in Houston, Pasadena, Alief, League City, Sugar Land, Baytown, Missouri City, Atascocita, Texas City, Manvel and Friendswood.
