Concrete slab and foundation contractors in Savannah, GA
Garage and workshop floors, shed and generator pads, carport and addition slabs, and footings, built for wet ground and written up so you know exactly what is under the concrete.
On Savannah ground
Much of Chatham County is low, level ground with poorly drained soil and a water table close to the surface in the wet season. That shapes every slab here: we raise the pad on compacted fill so it sits above the surrounding grade, put a vapor barrier under any slab that will be enclosed, and thicken the edges. Parts of the county are in mapped flood zones, where a slab that carries a building can have elevation rules. We check that with the permit office before the estimate is final.
How we do it
- 1
Scope and loads
What sits on it, how big, and whether it will be enclosed. That sets thickness, steel, footings and whether an engineer's drawing is needed.
- 2
Excavate and fill
Organic soil is stripped. Fill goes in and is compacted in lifts to bring the pad above grade.
- 3
Footings and forms
Thickened edges or trenched footings where walls or posts bear, formed square and level.
- 4
Vapor barrier and steel
Plastic sheeting under enclosed slabs, then rebar or mesh on supports so it ends up inside the concrete, not under it.
- 5
Pour and finish
Placed, screeded and troweled smooth for indoor floors, or broomed for outdoor pads.
- 6
Cure and release
We cure it, cut the joints and tell you when framing or equipment can go on.
Options and finishes
Shed, AC and generator pads
Small reinforced pads set level and above grade, so equipment stays out of standing water.
Garage and workshop floors
Troweled smooth, with a slight fall to the door and joints laid out around posts and drains.
Carport and RV pads
5 to 6 inches with rebar for heavier vehicles.
Addition and porch slabs
Slabs with footings poured to the drawings your builder or the permit office approves.
Footings and piers
For decks, porches, walls and screened rooms.

Frequently asked questions
What does a concrete slab cost?
+
Homewyse put a basic installed slab at about $10.63 to $13.00 per square foot in September 2026 on an easy site. Fill, footings and thicker sections add to that. Our estimate lists each item.
How thick should a shed or garage slab be?
+
4 inches with thickened edges for sheds and ordinary garages. 5 to 6 inches with rebar for heavy vehicles or lifts.
My yard floods when it rains. Can you still pour a slab?
+
Usually yes, by raising the pad on compacted fill and grading the water around it. If the spot is the low point of the lot, we'll say so and suggest a better location.
Do I need a permit for a slab?
+
A slab that carries a structure usually does. A small equipment pad often doesn't. We confirm with the City of Savannah, Chatham County or your municipality.
What to have ready
None of it is required to send the request. It just makes the callback shorter and the estimate more accurate.

- What it's for: cars, a work truck, a hot tub, a shed, foot traffic
- A couple of photos of the area and the route a concrete truck would take
- Anything you've noticed about water: puddles, a downspout, a low corner
