Retail & Commercial Flatwork

Retail and commercial flatwork creates the pedestrian environments, storefront areas, and outdoor common spaces that shape customer experiences at shopping centers, office parks, and mixed-use developments. This work includes sidewalks, plaza areas, outdoor dining spaces, decorative paving, and connections between buildings and parking areas. Quality flatwork construction contributes to property aesthetics, accessibility, and long-term maintenance efficiency.

Pedestrian areas require careful attention to accessibility requirements. Sidewalk slopes, cross slopes, surface textures, and grade transitions must meet ADA standards throughout. Changes in level must be properly addressed with ramps or other compliant transitions. Detectable warnings at street crossings and other required locations must be correctly installed. We ensure all pedestrian flatwork meets accessibility requirements.

Decorative concrete options enhance retail environments with visual interest and brand-appropriate aesthetics. Stamped patterns, integral color, exposed aggregate, and decorative scoring create distinctive surfaces that differentiate properties. We work with architects and property owners to select and execute decorative treatments that achieve design intent while providing durable, maintainable surfaces.

Outdoor dining and gathering areas require flatwork construction that accommodates furniture, planters, and other fixtures while maintaining accessibility and drainage. Embed locations for bollards, shade structures, and site furnishings must be coordinated with landscape and site design. We coordinate flatwork with broader site development to create functional outdoor spaces.

As a general contractor, we deliver complete retail flatwork scopes from subgrade preparation through final finishes. Direct contracts with developers and property owners provide accountability for quality and schedule performance.
