Site Prep provides code-compliant concrete foundation installation throughout Maryland, designed to withstand freeze-thaw cycles, manage drainage, and support real-world loads with consistent quality.
In Maryland, footings go below the frost line—commonly 30 inches in counties like Montgomery and Prince George’s—to prevent heave and settlement that can crack floors and walls.
We select concrete mixes and reinforcement to meet local specifications and soil conditions, ensuring a durable foundation that minimizes the need for early repairs.If you have a specific timeline or budget, contact us. A Maryland concrete contractor will help align the project scope, code requirements, and schedule before construction begins.
Concrete Foundation Services in Maryland
When comparing concrete foundation services, you likely consider cost, timeline, and quality. We help you balance these priorities and take responsibility for clSite Prep offers concrete foundation services for residential and light commercial projects, including footings, walls, and slabs tailored to Maryland codes and site requirements.
- Sheds and small structures: residential concrete foundations or thickened‑edge slabs sized to load and frost depth in MD.
- Garages and shop floors: concrete slab contractor in Maryland solutions, typically 4–6 in thickness with saw‑cut joints to manage cracking.
- Houses and additions: concrete footings contractor services for continuous footings and foundation walls per Chapter 4 of the IRC.
- Gazebos and pavilions: pier footings below the local frost line for stability through winter cycles.
- Pole barns: isolated pads or thickened slabs with embedded columns per residential concrete contractor practices and ACI 332 guidance.
- Pools and hot tubs: pads designed for point loads with subgrade prep and moisture control under the slab.
- Driveways and aprons: reinforced slabs sized for vehicle loads and subgrade conditions.
Residential Concrete Foundation Contractor
For residential concrete foundations, footings extend below the MD frost line (30 inches in many jurisdictions) and slabs follow IRC/ACI details for base, reinforcement, and moisture control.
When repair is needed for settlement, cracking, or moisture intrusion, scope is driven by cause and code, from drainage fixes to slab repair and releveling.
Commercial Concrete Foundation
Commercial and utility pads often require higher PSI concrete and more precise detailing. Local guidelines typically specify 2,500 to 4,500 PSI, with final design determined by project plans and jurisdiction.
County regulations and frost-line requirements, often set at 30 inches, ensure exterior footings remain below freeze depth for long-term durability and safety.
Concrete Slab
Typical residential slabs are approximately 4 inches thick for light loads. For heavier vehicles or equipment, a thickness of 5 to 6 inches is recommended.
Proper base preparation, vapor retarders, reinforcement, finishing, and saw cutting are essential to ensure concrete remains level and crack-resistant over time.
Types of Concrete Foundation We Install:
We offer three different types of concrete foundation packages. Each option includes standard features such as the excavation for the foundation, a 4” thick concrete floor, control joints to prevent cracking, and more. To find out more about the different concrete foundations we offer, take a look at each type below.
How We Install Foundation
1
Layout, soil, and base
We stake the project footprint, verify elevations, compact the granular base, and confirm soil bearing capacity to ensure the foundation meets code requirements.
2
Excavation and footings
Footings are excavated to undisturbed soil below the frost line, typically 30 inches in many Maryland jurisdictions, then formed and inspected for width, depth, and bearing capacity.
3
Reinforcement, embeds, and moisture
Rebar, anchor locaRebar, anchor locations, sleeves, and utilities are installed according to plan. A vapor retarder is placed under interior slabs in accordance with IRC R506 to control moisture migration., cutting, and cure
We place and consolidate concrete, finish for the slab’s use, perform saw cutting for control joints, and cure to reach specified strength and durability.
