Concrete Work in Deschutes County, OR
Concrete flatwork and slab support, sequenced with the site work it depends on.
Sub-Grade Work Done Right, Before the Concrete Ever Shows Up
Concrete work rarely stands alone — it depends on the excavation and compaction underneath it being right first. BGH Excavation handles that groundwork and coordinates flatwork as part of the same project sequence.

Planned for Central Oregon Ground Conditions
We plan for basalt shelf, volcanic rock, and seasonal ground conditions before we price the job, so it doesn't turn into a surprise halfway through.
Basalt Beneath the Pad
Rock close to the surface can affect sub-grade depth for a slab or driveway — accounted for before the pour date is set.
Compaction on Volcanic Soil
Pumice and cinder soils compact differently than clay-based soil — base prep is matched to what's actually under the slab.
Frost Heave Risk
Improperly prepped sub-grade in freeze-thaw conditions can heave a slab — compaction and vapor barrier prep account for it.
Scheduling Around Weather
Central Oregon's temperature swings affect cure time — sub-grade and pour timing are coordinated around the forecast.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a concrete contractor?
A concrete contractor forms, pours and finishes concrete for slabs, foundations, patios, driveways and shop floors. BGH Excavation handles the groundwork those jobs depend on: excavation, compaction, base rock, vapor barrier and site grading. We also coordinate directly with our concrete crew across Redmond, Bend and Deschutes County, Oregon, so the pour goes on solid ground and on schedule.
How much does a concrete slab cost in Redmond, Bend and Deschutes County?
A new concrete slab typically costs about $4 to $8 per square foot for the pour and finish. A patio often runs about $2,700 to $3,000, a garage floor about $2,100 to $3,500, and a two-car driveway about $3,000. Rebar, stamping, steep access and site prep add to the total. BGH Excavation's part, the excavation, base rock and grading under the slab, comes with a free on-site estimate.
How long does concrete take to cure in Deschutes County?
New concrete can usually take foot traffic and light loads after about 48 hours, but it takes up to 28 days to cure fully. Cold Central Oregon weather slows curing, so the timing of the pour matters. We plan our groundwork around your pour date so the slab gets the best start.
Do you handle the excavation and base prep before concrete is poured?
Yes. We excavate, compact the sub-grade and place the base rock and vapor barrier before the pour, so the slab sits on solid, well-drained ground. We coordinate directly with our concrete crew, so there's no schedule gap between the groundwork and the pour.
