Garage and shed slabs in Coeur d'Alene
A slab for a garage, shop or shed needs to be level, well-drained and thick enough for what will sit on it. The base underneath matters as much as the concrete itself.

Coeur d'Alene winters bring real snow, ice and freeze-thaw, followed by wet spring storms.
Snow, ice and de-icer cause most of the flaking you see on North Idaho driveways. Air-entrained concrete and a sealer make a real difference.
Work in the street right-of-way needs City of Coeur d'Alene approval. Ask your contractor to confirm before you book.
Common questions
Do I need a permit for a slab?
A slab for a detached garage or a larger shed often does. A small shed pad often doesn't. Check with your city or county building department.
How thick should a garage slab be?
Four inches is common, with thicker edges or more under heavy equipment.
How long before I can drive on a new driveway?
Usually about a week for a car, longer for anything heavy. Your contractor will tell you for your mix and the weather.
