concrete flatwork preparation is underway now at the rowhouse.  Garages, sidewalks, patio slabs and stairs are planned to be poured soon.  Lots of prep work needs to be done here. The garage is a thicker than normal compartmentalized slab design.  This necessitates cutting a trench around the perimeter for a 16” edge.  The patios get a lot of rebar and the sidewalks bracketed to avoid settlement problems. 

Step 1 is excavating and compacting gravel in the slab edge.
