What Is Commercial Concrete?
Commercial concrete is designed and used to construct or renovate business facilities, including industrial buildings, retail stores, restaurants, and warehouses. Since these facilities often require more durability and structural performance than residences, the concrete needs heavier reinforcement and a stronger mix design.
The compressive strength requirement depends on the use of the final product, such as:
- Concrete fill: 2,000 PSI
- Basement and foundation walls and slabs, sidewalks, patios, steps, and stairs: 2,500 PSI to 3,500 PSI
- Driveways, garages and industrial floor slabs: 3,000 PSI to 4,000 PSI
- Reinforced beams, columns, slabs, and walls: 3,000 PSI to 7,000 PSI
- Precast and prestressed concrete: 4,000 PSI to 7,000 PSI
- Columns used in high-rise buildings: 10,000 PSI to 15,000 PSI
Fulford & Jones, Inc. works with each commercial customer to design the right type of long-lasting concrete for every project.

Types of Projects Using Residential Concrete
Home Foundation
Since a concrete foundation supports an entire home, you’ll find more substantial frames to hold eight inches to ten inches of depth. The final strength generally ranges from 3,500 PSI to 4,000 PSI.Concrete Driveway
The typical thickness is four inches on top of an aggregate base, such as gravel, limestone, or sand. Generally, residents can expect the final strength of 4,000 PSI to 4,500 PSI to be achieved one month after placement.Concrete Patios
These popular gathering spaces offer durability, ease of maintenance, and versatility that often exceeds traditional wood-based decks and patios. But because they support furniture and equipment — grills can weigh more than 120 pounds — a 4,000 PSI is generally the minimum concrete strength.Sidewalks & Walkways
Similar to the strength requirements of patios, sidewalks and walkways need a range of 4,000 PSI to 4,500 PSI. Although foot and small-wheeled traffic doesn’t seem to induce the amount of stress on the surfaces because the traffic is moving, it does through continual and repeated use.Garage & Interior Floors
Concrete has been a popular flooring material for years, but it comes with several requirements to meet subsequent demands. It’s recommended both garage and interior floors have a four-inch pour depth along with a 4,500 PSI. The increased strength aims to support appliances, vehicles, and other everyday items.Countertops
Because of their visual flexibility, concrete countertops have become popular options for new homes and remodeling projects. Homeowners can choose between a wide variety of stains and stamps to create a custom countertop.Why can't I install a new concrete driveway myself?
You can, but it’s not recommended for several reasons. First, a cracked driveway, for example, needs to be entirely removed, then the ground prepped and accurately leveled. Then, to ensure you don’t have too much or too little concrete, you’ll need precise calculations for both the framing and the amount of concrete. Couple this with the sheer amount of work involved, and many homeowners quickly decide to hire residential concrete contractors, such as Fulford & Jones, Inc.
Our team of concrete professionals use years of concrete finishing experience to create long-lasting driveways, patios, walkways, and more for every homeowner
