digging up the area
|
When we first start working on the concrete foundation, we must dig up the area. This is where we will fill the area with gravel filling or something else that is going to ensure stability of the concrete or stone structure that you have in mind.
To do that though, we will go with you through the plan that you have and make sure that the area that we are digging up is the correct dimension that you want. After that, we’ll get our set of laborers to dig up the area that you want dug up to make way for the foundation. |

In this step, we will add gravel and on top of that, some mesh as well. This will stop the concrete foundation from sinking in the ground because soil tends to be a weak support structure.
We will make sure though that we don’t make the mesh too big that we cannot add the forms in to support the concrete foundation when the concrete mixture is poured in.
Therefore, adding mesh and gravel will improve the chances of the concrete foundation of cracking or the foundation sinking in the ground.

As we previously stated, we will make sure that the forms are to the dimensions that you want and don’t make the mesh too large that we cannot fit the mesh into the forms.
Then our workers will make the concrete mixture, then pour into the forms. Then we will smooth the poured concrete over and leave over night until the concrete has set.
