Our Process for Poured On-Site Concrete Steps
At The Concrete Doctors, we specialize in crafting beautiful and long-lasting concrete steps. Here’s a detailed look at our step-by-step process for poured on-site concrete steps:
Site Preparation and Design
Our team will discuss project goals, assess the site, ensure proper drainage, consider step height, width, and code requirements, and design steps to complement your home's exterior.
Excavation and Sub-Base Installation
We will meticulously excavate the designated area for your steps, ensuring stability and proper drainage, and may install a crushed gravel sub-base for additional stability.
Formwork Construction
Our skilled team will construct sturdy formwork for your steps, using high-quality materials for a perfect, professional finish.
Rebar Installation
Steel reinforcement bars (rebar) will be used to add strength and a higher load capacity. Due to the freeze-thaw cycle that happens in Alberta’s climate, rebar is used to help protect the concrete from pulling apart when the landscape expands and contracts.
Concrete Mixing and Pouring
Our team expertly pours high-quality concrete redi-mix into the prepared forms, ensuring proper consolidation and eliminating air pockets for durability and weather resistance.
Finishing and Curing
The concrete surface will be screeded and floated to a smooth finish, with decorative finishes added if desired, and then left to cure building strength as the chemical reaction of the concrete mix takes place.
Formwork Removal and Cleanup
Once the concrete has cured sufficiently, our team will carefully remove the formwork. We'll clean up the worksite, leaving your property spotless.
