"Literally every piece of concrete they poured for us cracked within a week of being poured. He didn?t cut the concrete after pouring and our wrap around porch has multiple cracks. He redid one slab in front of our garage and scratched up our garage doors. Was supposed to replace the back slab but weaseled out of it. He also charged us what a seasoned contractor would charge and we found out he was extremely new at concrete work. "

"Absolutely blown away by the transformation this landscape company brought to our front yard! From the very first consultation, their team was professional, creative, and attentive to every detail. They took our outdated, bland yard and turned it into a stunning, welcoming space that we’re genuinely proud of. The design was thoughtful and unique, blending curb appeal with functionality, and the execution was flawless — clean lines, vibrant plants, and impeccable stonework. What really impressed us was their communication and commitment to quality. Every crew member was respectful, hardworking, and clearly passionate about their craft. They stayed on schedule, kept the area tidy, and went above and beyond to make sure we were thrilled with the final result. We’ve had neighbors and even strangers stop to compliment the yard — it truly looks like something out of a magazine. Highly recommend this company to anyone looking to elevate their outdoor space. They don’t just landscape — they create art!"

Patios questions, answered by experts
While some areas may allow for a slope of up to 20%, this is often the maximum slope for driveways, with a few exceptions of up to 25%. Other regions may have a maximum of 12%, 15%, or 18%, so check with your local building department to ensure you’re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location.
You can start your search for a reputable patio company by finding providers in your area with positive ratings online and few, if any, complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Once you narrow down your search, contact the companies and ask for examples of their past work, as well as a list of references. The examples will show you the quality of the work you can expect and how professional the finished product will be, and contacting previous customers will give you an idea of the service you can expect throughout the process.
No, high labor costs and the project's complexity make concrete stairs more expensive than steel or wood stairs. Wood steps cost between$100 and $200 per step, including labor and materials, while concrete steps are about triple, at between $200 and $600 per step. Building codes may also have stricter requirements for concrete steps, as they’re considered permanent, so you might also pay more for permits.
When hiring a concrete contractor, you should seek someone with proven experience, proper licensing, and insurance. You should also check reviews online, talk to references, and view past project photos. Remember that reliable contractors communicate openly and have an expert understanding of local building codes. You’ll also want to ensure that the contractor specializes in the specific type of concrete work you want, whether a driveway or tinted concrete flooring.
Alternative landscaping materials similar to pea gravel include wood chips, decomposed granite, crushed stone, and pebbles. You can also invest in specialty landscape rocks such as quartz, river rock, lava rock, and Mexican beach pebble. While many of these stones will cost more than pea gravel, some are more ideal for designing an attractive garden bed or managing drainage.
