Non-Structural Concrete Flatwork in Bloomington, IL
For Bloomington homes, the useful concrete is often the unglamorous part: a dry path to the gate, a level grill pad, a wider landing or an extension that makes an existing patio usable. We handle residential non-structural flatwork and replacement where drainage and finish quality matter.
How we build it in Bloomington
We build flatwork in Bloomington from the base up: removal where needed, compacted aggregate, forms set to move water away from buildings, reinforcement appropriate to the application, and planned control joints. Flat prairie lots, so most decks here are low-profile builds tied into a patio rather than tall structures. We do not offer foundations, structural walls, load-bearing slabs or engineered structural concrete.
- Review access, elevations, drainage and the intended use
- Locate utilities and remove failed flatwork where required
- Excavate and compact a stable aggregate base
- Set forms, reinforcement and transition heights
- Place, finish and cut or tool control joints
- Protect the cure and review use timing with you
Most residential flatwork takes two to five working days, followed by the specified cure period.
What Bloomington neighbors say.
These are verified customer reviews of Tazewell County Fence Co. — the same owners, crew and phone line behind Grizzly Deck & Patio.
“Tazewell County Fence Co. installed woven wire fencing around part of our property, along with a large equipment gate. They explained the different post options, gave us a clear estimate, and helped us choose something that fit our budget. The fence looks strong and everything was completed professionally.”
“We had a chain-link fence installed for our backyard and dogs. Communication was easy, the pricing was reasonable, and the finished fence looks great. They also made sure the gates opened smoothly and were placed exactly where we needed them.”
“A section of our fence was damaged during these storms, and Tazewell County Fence Co. was able to repair it without trying to sell us an entirely new fence. The repaired section blends in well with the rest of the fence, and the price was fair.”
