A concrete slab is only as good as what happens before the first bucket is poured. Poor grading, thin mix, or skipped reinforcement leads to cracks, settling, and costly repairs within a few years. We have seen it all after 39 years in Cherry Hill and across South Jersey.
Papaneri and Sons Concrete LLC has been installing slabs for driveways, patios, shed pads, garage floors, and commercial entrances since 1987. Every job starts with a properly prepared sub-base, ends with our stronger 4500 PSI mix, and is backed by an ACI-certified crew.
We handle the full project, from staking and permits all the way through final inspection. You get a durable slab, a clean jobsite, and a crew that shows up and finishes on schedule.

A quality slab starts with the ground under it. We excavate to the correct depth, compact the soil, and lay a gravel sub-base that drains properly so your slab never heaves or sinks.
Next we set forms to hold the pour at the exact shape and grade you need. Rebar or wire mesh goes in depending on the load the slab will carry. For heavier applications like garage floors or commercial pads, rebar is always our recommendation.
We mix and pour our proprietary 4500 PSI concrete, which is stronger than the standard 3000-3500 PSI used by most contractors. The extra strength means better resistance to freeze-thaw cycles, heavy vehicle traffic, and everyday wear.
After the pour, we finish the surface to your spec, hand-tool the edges, and cut control joints to manage where the slab naturally relieves stress. This step prevents random cracking. Once cured, your slab is ready for its final use.
Most contractors use a 3000 PSI mix because it costs less and is easier to work with. We use 4500 PSI on every residential and commercial slab we pour. The difference shows up over time, not right after the pour.
PSI, or pounds per square inch, measures how much compressive force the concrete can handle before cracking. A 4500 PSI slab handles heavy vehicles, freeze-thaw cycles, and years of New Jersey winters far better than a standard mix. That matters in a climate where temperatures swing 80 degrees between July and January.
Reinforcement is the second piece. We use rebar sized and spaced to match the intended load, and we position it at the correct height within the slab so it actually does its job. Rebar sitting on the ground is worthless. Properly suspended rebar holds the slab together if a crack ever starts.
Together, the right mix and the right steel give you a slab that does not require patching or replacement for decades, not years.
Concrete slabs are not one-size-fits-all. The right slab depends on what you are putting on top of it, how much traffic it will see, and the soil conditions at your property. Here are the most common types we install in Cherry Hill and South Jersey.
Driveway slabs handle vehicle traffic daily. We pour them at a minimum of 4 inches thick, usually 5 to 6 inches for heavier SUVs and trucks, with proper pitch so rainwater runs toward the street instead of your foundation.
Patio slabs are typically poured at 4 inches and finished with a broom texture for grip. If you want a decorative look, we can also pour a base slab for stamped concrete patterns.
Shed and storage pads are straightforward pours that give you a level, permanent surface instead of settling pavers or gravel. Garage floor slabs get extra thickness and rebar to handle vehicle loads and floor jacks.
Commercial entrance and parking slabs are a separate category. These see constant traffic and need thicker sections, deeper reinforcement, and stricter grade tolerances. We handle commercial work the same way we handle residential: right mix, right steel, right process.

Most concrete slab projects in Cherry Hill require a permit from the Township's Construction Department, especially driveways, garage floors, and any slab attached to the house. Many homeowners do not realize this until after the work is done and they face a fine or a mandatory tear-out.
We handle the permit process from start to finish. That includes filing the application, supplying the drawings, scheduling the inspection, and making sure the inspector signs off before we call the job complete.
Permitted work also protects you when you sell the home. An unpermitted concrete project can delay or kill a real estate transaction. Buyers and their inspectors check, and lenders ask questions.
If you have gotten quotes from contractors who do not mention permits, that is a red flag. We have been working with Cherry Hill and South Jersey townships for 39 years. We know what each municipality requires, and we take care of it for you.
We have been pouring concrete in South Jersey since 1987. Here is what you get when you hire us for your slab installation.
Three decades of slabs, driveways, and commercial pours in Cherry Hill and across South Jersey. When you call, you talk to us directly, not a call center.
We use a higher-strength mix on every job, not just the big commercial ones. Your slab handles New Jersey winters and daily traffic without cracking prematurely.
We file, coordinate, and close out the permit with Cherry Hill Township. You do not have to track down forms or wait on hold with the construction office.
Our crew holds ACI (American Concrete Institute) certification. That means field-tested knowledge of concrete placement, finishing, and curing, not just years on the job.
Concrete reaches enough strength for foot traffic in about 24 to 48 hours, but it takes 28 days to reach its full rated strength. For vehicle traffic on a driveway slab, we recommend waiting at least 28 days. We will give you specific guidance based on the mix and the weather conditions during your pour.
Driveway slabs should be a minimum of 4 inches, and we typically pour 5 to 6 inches for vehicles heavier than a standard sedan. Patio slabs are generally 4 inches, which is plenty for foot traffic and outdoor furniture. Garage floors and commercial pads get 5 to 6 inches with rebar because they handle vehicle loads and potential point loads from equipment.
In most cases, yes. Cherry Hill Township requires permits for driveways, garage floors, and slabs connected to or near the structure. We handle the permit application, drawings, and inspection coordination on your behalf, so you do not have to manage any of that yourself.
