Thank you for continuing to post these. I'm in Bakersfield, CA - and I wish you were close enough to take the job. I've been watching your videos, to understand if I've got the capacity to pour a few smaller slabs.. tool shed size and you make it look possible. Keep the videos coming!

here in Canada we always use rebar with 3/4" crush in the cement. 20mpa for compression strength. nice pour

Coming across these years old videos…. Fast forward to 2021; videos have gotten better and better! 🇺🇸🔥

Great job! I'll have to lay an RV driveway in the near future. This video is quite thorough, even dealing with sprinkler heads. Thanks!

The most important aspect in concrete, is the base. Pouring on dirt and tamping it with a little 100 pound tamper is not going to do anything. For high traffic areas such as a driveway, a 5000pound Bomag is what you need. Also putting the right aggregate and sand for a tight compaction. Clay compacts well, but you need the proper equipment to achieve it. As for concrete, rebar is essential for durability and strength. Also putting enough Cutts in is to control the cracking, vertically and horizontally. The slab should to be in sections to conform with the shifting and settling over time.

Hi Dave. I won't call as I'm in NZ but thanks for uploading. I'd be interest to see how you get your boxing straight and how you solve some of the problems of laying pads on unlevel ground.
Cheers Mate

G'day Dave, thank you for these videos. We live in Australia and are going to make our four skater Sons, a concrete slab, next weekend. Thanks Mate, you are a dead set, Legend, if only we could 'beam' you over to us for a few cold beers. Cheers, Glen and Liz.

I could make great use of that topsoil. A cement raised garden bed with the irrigation I think you install would be a valuable upsell. If the area is for RV parking only, is it feasible to pour lanes for the wheels? That would lessen runoff, use less material, and possibly cost less? What about coating the parking area with a garage floor covering to make cleaning easier?

I don't know how anyone could thumbs down this video, but I'm a concrete beginner...None the less, awesome video, thank you, I learned a lot!

Looks Great. Why did you choose to NOT use metal to reinforce the concrete? Wont this just crack in a few years? Why didnt you use a sand/gravel base? Or a moisture block? I feel like this was a DIY especially when you had 8 guys cutting up sod instead of a quick bobcat run.

You guys need to invest in a walk behind dingo nice finish work

***PLEASE RESPOND***
Do you think a 6 sack(4, 000psi), 4" slab (9x50') would be enough to hold a 5th wheel toy hauler? The toy hauler weighs 12k lbs. I don't plan on using rebar or fiber. Or do you think I will need rebar or fiber?

Would you reccomend Thomas concrete? Could you please give your advice on best mix if I'm not going to use any rebar. Thank you

Thanks for posting. Please keep it coming.

Thanks for posting your videos it's going to be a big help when I do my own driveway, patio, and extend my porch. I notice on some of your other videos there are times that you use rebar and gravel befor a pour but on this video saw you only compact the dirt then poured the cement on top. I'm in Denver Colorado, and I'm a one-man band do it yourself at home person. I am not going to order a cement truck because I've never poured concrete in my life. I'm investing in a cement mixer and a bunch of bags of Quikrete from Home Depot to do small sections at a time. I'm going to remove a slab that fits one car and pour a brand new 17 wide by 30 feet long driveway. will I need rebar gravel and a certain pressure of bag concrete.
