At A&R Concrete & Hardscape, we understand that the foundation of any successful concrete project lies in a well-prepared subgrade. From addressing varying soil conditions to using top-tier materials and tools, our team ensures every project starts with a solid base built to last.
Why Subgrade Preparation Matters
The subgrade serves as the foundation for concrete slabs, influencing both durability and performance. Improperly prepared subgrades can lead to costly issues, settling, or drainage problems. To avoid these, our team uses precise techniques to:- Ensure proper drainage for water runoff.
- Compact subgrade materials to achieve stability and prevent shifting.
- Level the surface with exact grade measurements to support even concrete distribution.
Adapting to Different Soil Types
Not all soil is created equal, and understanding this is key to a successful project. Our team specializes in tailoring subgrade preparation to the unique soil conditions of the area:- Sandy Soils in Chino Hills: We ensure proper compaction and drainage to prevent shifting or settlement over time.
- Sandy Rocky Soils in Rancho Cucamonga: Our approach balances compaction and material use to achieve a smooth, stable base despite challenging conditions.
High-Quality Materials: The Backbone of a Solid Foundation
We use only premium materials to build a subgrade that can withstand time and heavy use. One essential material is Class 2 road base, which we source from [Philadelphia Recycling Mine], a trusted supplier based in Eastvale. This blend of crushed rock and fines creates a durable foundation that promotes stability and drainage. https://locator.wastebits.com/location/philadelphia-recycling-mineCutting-Edge Tools and Techniques
Achieving 90%+ compaction is our goal on every project, and we invest in the best tools to make that happen:- Plate Compactors: We rely on high-performance models like those from https://www.multiquip.com/ and https://www.multiquip.com/multiquip/plate-compactors.htm
- Laser Technology: Using state-of-the-art laser positioning systems from https://www.topconpositioning.com/us/en, we ensure the most precise grading for proper drainage and long-term stability.
- Roller Compactors and Jumping Jacks: For specific site needs, these tools deliver uniform compaction and reach the tightest spaces.
The Importance of Detail in Subgrade Preparation
Every subgrade preparation project we undertake starts with a detailed assessment of soil conditions, followed by the careful import and grading of materials.
