We deliver the right base materials for concrete pads — ensuring strength, drainage, and long-term stability beneath every slab you pour.
To build a durable and stable concrete pad base, you’ll generally need these key materials — each playing a specific role in ensuring your slab’s longevity and performance:
This is the base layer used to level and fill the area after any unsuitable topsoil or debris is removed. It creates a firm, even surface to support the heavier layers above. Proper compaction of fill dirt is essential to prevent settling or sinking over time.

Typically applied in a layer 4 to 8 inches thick, gravel or crushed stone serves multiple purposes. It enhances drainage by allowing water to pass through, preventing pooling under the slab. Additionally, it provides structural support by distributing weight evenly and reducing soil movement that could cause cracks or shifts in the concrete.
Often used as a final leveling layer, sand or fine aggregate fills in small voids and smooths the surface before the concrete is poured. This helps achieve a more uniform slab thickness and improves bonding between the concrete and base layers. While optional, it can increase the overall durability of your concrete pad.
