Built Right. Level. Built to Last.

Stop worrying about sinking equipment, cracked slabs, or drainage problems. Get a concrete pad installed correctly the first time—engineered for New York winters and built to handle whatever you put on it.

Professional Concrete Pad Installation

The Foundation for Equipment That Matters

A concrete pad isn’t just a slab—it’s the foundation keeping your expensive equipment level, stable, and protected. Whether you’re parking an RV, installing a generator, setting up a commercial dumpster, or building a shed, that pad needs to handle weight, weather, and time without cracking, sinking, or shifting. We install concrete pads for residential and commercial paving properties across Saratoga & Warren County, NY. That means proper site preparation, correct thickness for your specific application, reinforcement where it counts, and installation methods designed for upstate New York’s freeze-thaw cycles. You get a pad that does its job year after year, not one that fails after the first hard winter.

Concrete Pads Built for Saratoga & Warren County, NY

What You Actually Get

Not just concrete—a properly engineered surface that protects your investment, prevents drainage headaches, and eliminates the frustration of dealing with unlevel or failing foundations.

Your RV, generator, or HVAC unit sits level and stable without settling, shifting, or creating drainage problems around your property.
You avoid the cost and hassle of premature replacement because the pad was installed with proper thickness, reinforcement, and site preparation.
Commercial properties stay code-compliant with dumpster pads built to required specifications for load capacity and dimensions.

Your shed foundation stays put through freeze-thaw cycles instead of heaving, cracking, or creating an unlevel floor.
Water drains away from equipment and structures instead of pooling, preventing rust, foundation damage, and winter ice hazards.
You work with one local team handling excavation, grading, and concrete installation—no coordination headaches with multiple contractors.

RV Pads, Generator Pads, and More

Different Applications, Same Standard

RV parking pads need to support thousands of pounds without cracking under concentrated wheel loads. Morgan Construction pours them with proper thickness and reinforcement, graded for drainage so you’re not dealing with water pooling every time it rains. Generator and HVAC pads require level surfaces and proper clearances for equipment operation and maintenance access. We size them correctly, pour them level, and make sure they meet manufacturer specifications so your equipment performs as designed. Dumpster pads for commercial properties have specific requirements—minimum dimensions, reinforcement standards, and load capacity to handle collection trucks. We know the specs and build to them so you pass inspections and avoid costly violations. Shed foundations need stability that lasts. A proper concrete base prevents settling, keeps your shed level, and creates a moisture barrier that protects your investment from ground contact and frost heave.

Site Preparation and Grading Services

What Happens Before We Pour

The pad you see is only half the work. What happens underneath determines whether it lasts five years or fifty. We start with proper excavation and grading. That means removing unsuitable soil, establishing correct drainage slope, and compacting a stable base. Skip this step and you get settling, cracking, and water problems no matter how good the concrete is. Reinforcement goes in based on what the pad will support. Light-duty applications might use wire mesh. Heavy equipment or commercial use gets rebar on proper spacing. We don’t guess—we engineer it for the load. Thickness matters. A 4-inch pad works for some applications. Others need 6 inches. Commercial dumpster pads require specific PSI ratings and steel reinforcement to handle truck loads. We pour what the job actually requires, not what’s cheapest or easiest.

Concrete Pads FAQs

Common Questions About Our Service

How thick does a concrete pad need to be for an RV or generator?

It depends on the weight and how the load distributes. Most RV parking pads need at least 4 inches of reinforced concrete, but larger RVs or areas with soft soil might require 6 inches for proper support. Generator and HVAC pads typically use 4-6 inches depending on equipment weight and manufacturer specifications. We assess your specific situation during the site visit and recommend the appropriate thickness based on what you’re installing and your soil conditions. Cutting corners on thickness might save a few dollars upfront, but it leads to cracking and settling that costs far more to fix later. We pour what the job actually requires.

What's involved in site preparation before pouring a concrete pad?

Site preparation makes or breaks the longevity of your concrete pad. We start by excavating to the proper depth and removing any unsuitable soil. Then we grade for drainage so water flows away from the pad instead of pooling around your equipment. A compacted gravel base goes in next—this provides stability and prevents settling. We also check for underground utilities and make sure the area is accessible for our equipment and concrete delivery. Proper preparation takes time, but it’s what prevents the cracking, settling, and drainage problems that plague poorly installed pads. Skipping or rushing this phase is the main reason concrete pads fail prematurely.

Do I need a permit for a concrete pad installation?

It depends on the size, location, and what you’re using it for. Many municipalities in Saratoga and Warren County require permits for concrete pads over a certain square footage, especially for commercial applications like dumpster pads. Residential pads for sheds or RVs might not need permits if they’re under specific size thresholds, but requirements vary by township. We’re familiar with local regulations and can guide you through what’s required for your specific project. Commercial dumpster pads almost always need permits and must meet specific engineering standards for thickness, reinforcement, and dimensions. We handle these installations regularly and know the specs that need to be met.

How long does a concrete pad take to install and cure?

The actual installation typically takes one to two days depending on size and site conditions. That includes excavation, base preparation, forming, pouring, and finishing. However, curing time is where patience pays off. Concrete reaches about 70% of its strength in the first week, but full curing takes 28 days. You can usually put light equipment on it after 7-10 days, but heavy loads like RVs or commercial dumpsters should wait closer to the full cure time. We’ll give you specific guidance based on what you’re installing and weather conditions. Rushing this process risks cracking and reduces the long-term durability of your investment.

What's the cost difference between a 4-inch and 6-inch concrete pad?

A 6-inch pad uses 50% more concrete than a 4-inch pad, which impacts material costs. You’re also looking at additional labor for the extra excavation and potentially more reinforcement. That said, the cost difference is usually far less than dealing with a failed pad that needs replacement. We recommend thickness based on what you’re installing and your soil conditions, not on trying to hit the lowest possible price. An RV pad that cracks under load or a generator pad that settles and becomes unlevel costs far more to fix than doing it right the first time. During your estimate, we’ll explain exactly why we’re recommending a specific thickness and what you’re getting for that investment.

Can you install concrete pads in winter or do I need to wait until spring?

We can install concrete pads year-round, but winter installations require special considerations. Concrete needs to cure properly, and freezing temperatures can damage fresh concrete before it reaches adequate strength. When we do winter pours, we use cold-weather concrete mixes, insulated blankets, and sometimes heated enclosures to protect the cure. This adds cost compared to warm-weather installations. For most projects, spring through fall offers the best conditions and most cost-effective timing. That said, if you need a pad installed in winter—maybe for emergency generator access or immediate commercial requirements—we have the experience and equipment to do it right. We’ll be upfront about the additional requirements and costs involved.
