Im talking just dirt work. Im def no where near handy enough to handle a slab of this magnitude.


Odds are you will need a compacted subgrade, which will include cutting your existing soil to a depth and importing structural fill to a new subgrade elevation. This is all dependent on your existing soil condition, of course.

It sounds to me like you need to let the pros handle the slab and you contact NASCAR for tips on digging a pond on your place.

Listen carefully to that. If you are in S LA and you have expansive clay under your house it can be a disaster if the pad is not prepared properly.
