In the Before & After Look at Our Trashcan Concrete Pad Project

At Atlas General Contractors, we believe that even the most functional areas of your property deserve the highest level of care and craftsmanship. Recently, we completed a Trashcan Concrete Pad project that not only enhanced the practicality of the space but also significantly improved its aesthetic appeal. This case study will delve into the details of this project, showcasing our commitment to quality and why you should consider similar upgrades for your property.

Project Overview:

Project Name: Trashcan Concrete Pad

Location: Virginia

Scope of Work:

• Demolition and disposal of a small plant.
• Installation of a 4″ concrete pad using 4000 PSI concrete.
• Construction of a new retaining wall.

The Challenge: An Overgrown and Unused Space

Our client faced a common issue: an overgrown small plant was encroaching on an area meant to be a practical spot for trashcan storage. The existing space was not only unsightly but also inefficient for its intended use. They needed a durable and attractive solution that would provide functionality while seamlessly blending with the rest of their property.

The Solution: A Durable Concrete Pad and Retaining Wall

1. Demolition and Disposal of the Small Plant: The first step in transforming the area was to clear out the overgrown plant. This involved careful demolition and disposal to ensure the area was clean and ready for the new installation.
2. Preparing the Site: Proper site preparation is crucial for any successful concrete project. We meticulously leveled and compacted the ground to provide a stable base for the concrete pad.
3. Installing the 4″ Concrete Pad: Using high-strength 4000 PSI concrete, we installed a 4-inch thick concrete pad. This ensures durability and can withstand the weight and movement of trashcans and other items. The pad was expertly finished to provide a smooth, even surface that is easy to clean and maintain.
4. Constructing the Retaining Wall: To enhance the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of the area, we built a new retaining wall. This wall not only supports the surrounding soil but also adds a polished look to the newly transformed space.

The Result: A Functional and Attractive Trashcan Pad

The transformation was impressive. The new concrete pad provided a clean, functional space for trashcan storage, while the retaining wall added a touch of elegance. The project not only met but exceeded the client’s expectations, significantly improving the utility and appearance of their outdoor space.
