Placing concrete to the required grade
We place concrete within the forms, then use a screed to strike it off to the required grade. Screeding establishes the surface level before the finishing work.
Curing and grading around the foundation
Kahului has a hot, semi-arid climate, regular northeasterly trade winds, and most of its rain in the winter months. We cure the placed concrete and backfill between the excavation and the completed foundation where required. We grade the surrounding ground to slope away from the house rather than toward it.

Stem-wall foundation installation pricing
Our stem-wall foundation installation pricing ranges from $6 to $18 per square foot. This range applies to stem-wall installation, not to every type of concrete foundation.
