Why a standard driveway slab is the wrong answer.

A typical 4-inch residential driveway slab is engineered for a passenger vehicle — about 4,000 lbs distributed across four contact patches. A Class A motorhome is 6× to 8× heavier, parks in the same spot for months, and concentrates that weight on tandem axles with much smaller patches. Pour an RV pad on a driveway spec and you'll see hairline cracks within a season and active failure within three.

Our RV pads are 6 inches of 4000 PSI air-entrained concrete on 4 inches of #53 INDOT stone base compacted to Standard Proctor density. Reinforced with a #4 rebar grid at 18 inches on center, chaired to slab mid-depth — the rebar carries the static load directly without needing additional fiber mesh. Saw-cut control joints at proper spacing prevent the random shrinkage cracks that telegraph through under load. Ready-mix sourced from SRM Ready Mix to a consistent 4000 PSI · 5" slump · 7% air-entrained · #57 aggregate spec on every pour.

The Indiana freeze-thaw factor

Madison County sees roughly 60 freeze-thaw cycles per winter. Standard 3000 PSI mix without air entrainment will spall within 5 winters under static RV load — guaranteed. Our 4000 PSI air-entrained mix builds in 7% microscopic air pockets that absorb freeze expansion. Combined with an acrylic sealer applied the day after the pour, the pad resists chert popouts, surface scaling, and spalling for the design life of the slab.

If your storage location is in Pendleton or rural Anderson, we coordinate culvert and Right-of-Way considerations as part of the install. RV pads tucked off rural drives often need ROW Excavation Permits — we handle those before we mobilize.

Eight days, start to finish.

Most RV pads complete in 8 calendar days from permit approval, with the slab pourable on day 4 once base prep and inspection clear. Winter pours add a 3-day blanket cure window.

On-Site Estimate

We measure your rig, evaluate access, check setbacks, and write a fixed-price quote within 24 hours.

02

Permit & Locate

We pull City of Anderson Right-of-Way permits where needed and coordinate underground utility locates (811).

03

Excavate & Grade

Strip topsoil, cut subgrade to elevation, install drainage if required, and confirm proper slope-away from structures (1% minimum).

04

Stone Base

4" of #53 INDOT stone placed and compacted to Standard Proctor density before forming.

05

Form & Reinforce

Set forms to elevation, lay #4 rebar grid at 18" on center chaired to slab mid-depth, and install #3 dowels at the driveway tie-in.

06

Pour Day

4000 PSI · 5" slump · 7% air-entrained · #57 aggregate mix from SRM Ready Mix. Poured, screeded, bull-floated, edged, light broom finish. Saw-cut control joints set within 12 hours.

Seal & Cure

Acrylic sealer applied the day after the pour to lock in moisture and protect the surface during the cure window. Forms strip at day 2.

08

Hand-Off

You get a slab-spec sheet and a 60-day workmanship warranty. Slab reaches full design strength and is ready for vehicle traffic at day 28.

04 · Local Notes

Permits, codes, and rural drainage.

Anderson: RV pads at the property line that connect to a driveway require a Right-of-Way Excavation Permit if the apron is touched. We submit, track, and close out the permit on your behalf. Rural drives with roadside ditches may need Culvert Pipe Installation as part of the access — we size and install per county drainage requirements.

Pendleton: The single highest-demand market for RV pads in our service area. Storage clusters around the I-69 corridor mean rural drives, longer setbacks, and frequent culvert work. We pour year-round here using hot mix and curing blankets December through February.

Carmel & Fishers: HOA approval is mandatory before we mobilize. Carmel imposes a 20-foot driveway width limit at the ROW that affects pad placement near the street. Fishers Activity Permits go through their portal — we handle the submission.

Noblesville: Lake-adjacent properties on Morse Reservoir often combine RV pads with boat ramp access. We coordinate the marine concrete spec on the ramp side with the static-load spec on the pad side.

Westfield: WeConnect portal for permitting. RV pads near Grand Park sometimes share crews with Backyard Sport Court installs — we'll bundle scheduling where it makes sense.

05 · FAQ

What people ask before they call.

How big a pad do I need for my rig?
Our typical RV pad is 14' × 36' — sized for a Class A motorhome with room for slide-outs and a tow vehicle. We measure your rig on the estimate visit and right-size the pad to your actual footprint if you need more length or width.
Can you tie a new RV pad into my existing driveway?
Yes — we dowel into the existing slab with #3 dowels at 6" embedment at the tie-in. This creates a structural connection that prevents differential settlement and keeps the joint from telegraphing into a crack across the new slab.
Do I need a permit?
In Anderson, only if the work touches the apron or Right-of-Way. In Carmel and Fishers, almost always — and HOA approval is separate. We handle every permit application as part of the project. You won't fill out a form.
How long until I can park on it?
Light foot traffic in approximately 24 hours. Vehicle traffic and long-term RV storage at day 28, once the slab has reached full design strength. We apply an acrylic sealer the day after the pour to protect the surface during the cure window — the slab is sealed and ready to handle weather long before it's ready to handle the rig.
Can you pour in winter?
Yes. We pour year-round in Madison County down to a 30°F ambient minimum. Cold-weather pours use a non-chloride accelerator (NCA) in the mix and curing blankets to keep the slab above 40°F until it reaches strength. Winter pours add a few days to the schedule but cost is comparable.
