Orange County Concrete

TRU Landscape Services just completed a Concrete project for a Credit Union. TRU Landscape Services has work for this same credit union on several other projects. So, when they wanted to update there ATM and Entrance Concrete Walk Ways they called us out. TRU Landscape Services has been installing concrete in Orange County for over 20 years. This project was located in Signal Hill. Signal Hill is a small city that is basically a part of Long Beach, California. TRU Landscape Services will do work in all parts of California for our return customers. With fuel being so high we like to stay in Orange County. But customer satisfaction is our main goal.

Orange County Concrete Breaking

This project was difficult for our crews to remove during the day, our customer was open for business and didn’t want any noise during business hours. So, in order to provide the highest customer satisfaction we removed the concrete at night. Our concrete breaking crew showed up at 4:30 PM on a Saturday and started removing the concrete. A project of this size – we had to  move in 2 bobcat tractors with concrete breakers attached. We had a couple of dumpsters delivered at 5 PM. We would normally haul away the concrete ourselves but since we were working after hours we had to use dumpsters. A lot of people believe that concrete is hauled to a land fill, not our concrete! We recycle it! We dump it at a plant where they crush it into road base. The road base is then used for various projects including a base that is installed under new roads. Our crew finished removing the concrete at 6 AM Sunday Morning.

Concrete Forms

After  removing the concrete we brought in our concrete forming crew. First thing they do is figure out all of the grades. Grades are very important when your working with concrete. If the project is not formed properly you can end up with the water running towards the structure instead of away from it. If the water was to run towards the structure a lot of bad things could happen, possibly flooding the building. After working for many years in Orange County, TRU Landscape Services has been called out to several properties where this exact thing has happened. Most of the time we have to break out the concrete and replace it. Some times we can install area drains to move the water away from the structure. After setting up our concrete forms we schedule concrete for the next day.

Concrete Finishing

This project requires that we install the concrete in two different pours. Because of the area of the stairs and ramp to the ATM we had to install the concrete in the upper part one day and come back a second day and install the lower part. After pouring the concrete in the upper area, a guard was hired to keep the public from walking into the fresh concrete. This also helped protect people from walking into a construction zone. Our concrete finishing crew did a great job on both pours. We removed the concrete on a Saturday and the ATM was opened up for business on Thursday of the same week. Our customers were very happy with all of the work.
