Concrete Contractor in Yamhill, OR

Yamhill is fifteen minutes up Highway 47 from us, and it is farm and acreage country — so the buildings that need concrete out here tend to be shops, barns and equipment storage rather than houses. A job we finished out here is the clearest thing we can show you. It started as a dry field of cut grass beside an existing steel shop, on ground that fell away across the site. We cut the pad into the slope, hauled the spoil, brought base rock in and compacted it in lifts, then formed the footings and stem walls stepping down the grade in plywood — that is a lot of dirt work before a single yard of concrete arrives, and it is the half of the job most concrete companies hand to somebody else. Then we poured it: a large slab inside its stem walls, floated flat, anchor bolts set to the plan. Bare field to finished slab, same crew the whole way. If you are putting up a shop or a barn out here, that sequence is the thing worth asking any contractor about, because the finish is only ever as good as the compaction under it — and on a sloped acreage site, the compaction is the whole job. We also do the ordinary work here: driveways and approaches long enough to need thinking about, drainage on ground that holds water all winter, and footings for additions.
