Pro One Concrete builds block foundations for new homes, additions, garages and shops. A block foundation is a concrete block wall laid in mortar on a poured concrete footing. We pour the footings and lay the block walls on them. The work covers crawl space foundations and stem walls, with block piers inside the crawl space.
Block foundations are one part of our work as a concrete contractor in Villa Rica. We build them for homes and businesses across west metro Atlanta, about 50 miles around Villa Rica. Call or text (770) 880-4224 about your plans and your lot. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.

Our block foundations start with a poured concrete footing. Georgia's residential code calls for footings on undisturbed natural soil or engineered fill. Exterior footings go at least 12 inches below the undisturbed ground. They run at least 12 inches wide and 6 inches thick, and the plans can call for more.
On the footing, the block wall goes up one course at a time in mortar. Concrete block is also called concrete masonry units, or CMU. Inside a crawl space, block piers hold up the beams under the middle of the floor.
The number of block courses sets how much room the crawl space has. Georgia's residential code calls for rot-resistant wood where floor joists sit closer than 18 inches to the dirt. It also calls for vents through the foundation walls, or a sealed crawl space built to its rules. An access opening through the block wall needs to be at least 16 inches by 24 inches.
Villa Rica sits along a ridge in Georgia's Piedmont. The USDA soil survey maps most of the town on slopes of 6 percent or more. Below the surface, most of the ground is clay, and much of that clay is red. The survey rates nearly all of it low for shrink-swell: it changes little as it wets and dries.
On a slope, Georgia's residential code calls for the top of each footing to be level. Where the ground drops, the footings step down to follow it. The code also calls for the ground to fall at least 6 inches within 10 feet of the walls.
Along some creeks, the survey maps soils that flood often, so check a creek-side lot on FEMA's flood map first. Before footings are dug with machines, Georgia law requires a locate request through Georgia 811. Georgia 811 asks for that ticket at least 3 business days before digging.
A slab on grade puts the floor right on the ground. A crawl space foundation sets the floor on block walls and piers, with open space below. That space leaves room to reach pipes and ducts under the floor.
On a sloped lot, the block walls run taller on the low side, so the floor sits level. A slab on the same lot needs the ground cut or filled level first.
A garage or a shop usually gets a concrete floor. There, block stem walls on footings carry the building, and the slab is poured inside them. We pour garage and shop slabs as well, so both parts can go on one job.

The ready-mix truck comes, and we pour and finish the concrete. We clean up and tell you how long to wait before you drive or build on it.
