When You Need Concrete Pads
You might need a pad if your RV or boat trailer is sinking ruts into the grass, or the tires sit in mud every time it storms. A new standby generator or AC condenser needs a flat, stable base so it runs without rocking or tilting. A shed on blocks that keeps going out of level, or a carport going up over bare dirt, are both good reasons to pour a slab first. If you are adding equipment or storage, the pad comes before the purchase.
Our Process
Measure the load
We ask what will sit on the pad and how often it moves. An RV pad and an AC pad need very different thickness and reinforcement.
Pick the spot and grade
We set the pad location for easy access, then cut and slope the ground so water drains away from it.
Build the base
Our crew lays and compacts a gravel base, sets the forms and places rebar or wire mesh where the load calls for it.
Pour and finish
We pour, level and broom finish the surface, then cut control joints on longer pads like RV and boat slabs.
Cure before use
We keep the concrete moist while it cures and tell you when it is ready for equipment or a heavy vehicle.
Built for Georgetown Soil and Heat
Around Georgetown, a pad that looks fine on day one can tilt within a couple of seasons. East of I-35 the clay swells after heavy rain and shrinks hard in a dry August, and a small slab like an AC pad has very little weight to resist that movement. We dig out soft topsoil, compact a solid gravel base and keep the pad slightly above grade so water does not sit at the edges. On rocky lots west of town we level out the limestone first so the pad bears evenly instead of rocking on a high spot.

Why Customers Choose Us
Concrete Pads FAQ
How thick should an RV pad be in Georgetown, TX?
An RV pad usually needs to be thicker and more heavily reinforced than a patio because of the weight on each tire. We size it based on your RV and how often it moves. Call Austin Concrete Contractors Georgetown and we will talk through the right build for your rig.
Do I need a concrete pad for a generator or AC unit?
Most standby generators and outdoor AC units need a level, stable base, and the installer often asks for one. A concrete pad keeps the unit from tilting as the soil moves. We can pour it before your installer arrives.
Can you pour a shed slab or carport slab on acreage?
Yes. We pour shed and carport slabs on suburban lots and rural acreage around Williamson County. If the spot is far from the road, we plan truck access during the site visit.
How long before I can park on a new concrete pad?
Light items can usually go on after a few days, but heavy vehicles like an RV or loaded boat trailer need more curing time. We will give you a clear date based on the weather and the pad.
How big should an RV pad be?
Plan for the full length of the RV plus room to open the slide outs and walk all the way around it. We also look at how you will back in, since the turn off the driveway often decides the final shape. Measuring your rig with the slides out is a good first step before we visit.
Do I need a permit or HOA approval for a concrete pad in Williamson County?
It depends on where the pad will go. Some cities and HOAs have rules on pad size, distance from property lines and where an RV or shed can sit, while rural acreage often has fewer limits. Check with your city or HOA early, and we can talk through what to ask them.
Should a generator pad sit above the ground?
A pad set a little higher than the soil around it keeps storm water away from the unit. Your generator installer or the manufacturer may also have height and clearance needs from the house, so we like to confirm those before we build the forms.
Can you pour a pad in a backyard the concrete truck cannot reach?
Often, yes. When a truck cannot get close, concrete can be moved by pump or by wheelbarrow, depending on the distance and the size of the pad. We check gates, fences and slopes during the site visit and plan the best route in.
