Concrete Slabs in Hollywood, FL
Solid Foundations for Every Application
At King Concrete Hollywood, we pour concrete slabs that provide stable, level surfaces for structures of all types. Whether you need a foundation for a garden shed, a floor for your garage, or a base for a home addition, we engineer slabs that handle South Florida’s unique challenges.
We’ve installed thousands of concrete slabs across Hollywood and Broward County. Each application requires different considerations—thickness, reinforcement, drainage, and finish. We know exactly what each project needs because we’ve done them all.
A concrete slab seems simple until you factor in Hollywood’s sandy soil, high water table, and seasonal flooding potential. We account for all of it. The result is a slab that stays level, drains properly, and performs for decades.

The Basics of Concrete Slabs
A concrete slab is a flat, horizontal surface made from poured concrete. It serves as a foundation, floor, or base for various structures and applications. The key to a quality slab is proper preparation—the work happens before we ever pour concrete.
We evaluate soil conditions, determine proper thickness, calculate necessary reinforcement, and plan for drainage. Then we execute the pour with precision. The concrete itself is only part of the equation. The preparation determines whether your slab succeeds or fails.
Concrete Slab Design:Engineered for Your Needs
We design each concrete slab based on its specific purpose and location. Factors we consider:
Load Requirements: A hot tub base needs different engineering than a garden shed foundation.
Soil Conditions: Hollywood’s sandy soil requires specific base preparation to prevent settling.
Drainage: South Florida gets serious rain. Your slab needs proper grading and drainage paths.
Reinforcement: We determine whether your project needs rebar, wire mesh, or fiber reinforcement.
Thickness: Applications range from 4 inches for light-duty use to 6+ inches for heavy loads.
Finish: Smooth trowel, broom finish, or exposed aggregate depending on the slab’s purpose.
We engineer solutions, not just pour concrete. Your project gets the design it needs to perform correctly.
Concrete Slab Applications
Concrete Slab Around House
Create a clean perimeter around your home that prevents erosion, controls drainage, and provides a stable surface. We install concrete slabs around houses that slope properly to direct water away from your foundation—critical in Florida’s rainy season.
This application also creates useful space for outdoor activities, equipment storage, or future additions.
Concrete Slab for Garden Shed
Give your tools and equipment a dry, stable home. A concrete slab for garden shed applications provides the level foundation sheds need. We size it correctly, reinforce appropriately, and ensure water drains away from the structure.
No more rotting floors or tools rusting on damp ground. Your garden shed gets a foundation that outlasts the structure itself.
Concrete Slab for Pool Areas
Install a concrete slab around pool equipment, or create a stable base for pool decks. We engineer slabs for around pool applications to handle moisture exposure and resist settling from water saturation.
Proper drainage matters even more near pools. We slope the slab to direct water away from equipment and prevent standing water that breeds mosquitoes.
Concrete Slab for Shed
Whether it’s a storage shed, workshop, or hobby space, a concrete slab for shed applications provides the foundation your structure needs. We can pour slabs for sheds of any size, from compact 8×10 storage units to large workshop spaces.
We ensure the slab is level, properly reinforced, and extends slightly beyond your shed’s footprint for proper drainage.
Our Concrete Slab Installation Process
Here’s exactly how we handle your project:
- Site Evaluation: We assess soil conditions, drainage patterns, and any underground utilities.
- Excavation: We dig to the required depth, accounting for base material and concrete thickness.
- Base Preparation: We install and compact crushed stone or gravel to create a stable foundation.
- Vapor Barrier: For certain applications, we install plastic sheeting to prevent moisture migration.
- Form Setting: We build forms to contain the concrete and create the desired shape and size.
- Reinforcement Placement: We install rebar grids, wire mesh, or fiber reinforcement based on engineering requirements.
- Concrete Pour: We pour high-quality concrete mixed for Florida conditions and work it to eliminate air pockets.
- Leveling and Finishing: We screed the surface level, then apply the specified finish—smooth, textured, or decorative.
- Control Joints: We cut or form control joints to direct any cracking to planned locations.
- Curing: We apply curing compounds and protect the slab as it gains strength.
- Sealing: For appropriate applications, we seal the surface for added protection.
