Q: What is a concrete slab?
A concrete slab is a flat, horizontal surface made of poured concrete that serves as a strong foundation for homes, garages, patios, and driveways. It provides stability and helps distribute the weight of the structure evenly. At Luma Build Design, we pour custom concrete slabs for everything from home additions and basements to concrete patios and driveway foundations—ensuring long-lasting performance and durability.

Q: How do you pour a concrete slab?
Pouring a concrete slab involves several key steps: preparing and leveling the ground, setting up forms, installing reinforcement (like rebar or mesh), mixing and pouring concrete, leveling it with a screed, and then allowing it to cure properly. Our team uses precise techniques and quality materials to create even, durable concrete slab foundations. For DIY or planning purposes, you can use a concrete slab calculator to estimate materials—but hiring professionals like Luma Build Design ensures the job is done right the first time.

Q: How much does a concrete driveway cost in Ontario?
The cost of a concrete driveway varies based on size, design, and finish type. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between $10–$18 per square foot, depending on factors like excavation, reinforcement, and finishing details such as stamping or exposed aggregate. We provide transparent pricing and accurate quotes using our concrete cost calculator so you know exactly what to expect before starting your project.

Q: How long does concrete take to cure?
Concrete typically takes about 28 days to fully cure, though it begins to harden within the first 24–48 hours. During this curing phase, it’s important to keep moisture consistent and avoid heavy loads. For driveways and slabs, we recommend waiting at least a week before parking vehicles. Proper curing is crucial to prevent cracking and to achieve maximum strength and durability.
