A few driveways and patios we've poured for homeowners nearby.
Every job below is one we do ourselves across Harrisburg.
We excavate to grade, lay four to six inches of compacted stone base, and pour a driveway thick enough to carry a loaded truck without flexing. Rebar goes in on anything wider than a single-car width, wire mesh alone isn't enough once the slab carries real weight.
Patios get a broom finish or a stamped pattern depending on what you want to walk on barefoot in July. We slope every pour a quarter inch per foot away from the house so water doesn't pool against your foundation.
We stamp a pattern into the slab while it's still plastic, ashlar slate, running bond brick, cobblestone, whatever matches your house. Color goes down as an integral pigment or a release agent, and we seal it after cure so the color doesn't wash out in the first hard rain.
Walkways get control joints every four to six feet, tighter spacing than a driveway needs, because a narrow slab cracks easier without them. We match the pitch to whatever's already draining on your property instead of creating a new low spot.
We pour slab foundations for sheds, additions and garages, starting with a vapor barrier and compacted fill so moisture doesn't wick up through the concrete for the life of the building. Anchor bolts and rebar get set before the pour, not drilled in after, because that's what actually holds a sill plate down in wind.
Cracked, sunken or spalling concrete usually means the base underneath failed, not the slab itself. We can mudjack or foam-lift a sunken section back to grade, or cut out and replace a panel if the crack's gone all the way through.
Steps see more freeze-thaw damage than almost any other part of a house because water sits on the tread and refreezes all winter. We build the forms to code rise-and-run and use air-entrained concrete so the surface holds up to salt and ice.
Garage floors take oil, road salt and the weight of a car parked in one spot for years, so we use a higher-strength mix than a standard patio. We can add a broom finish for grip or a sealed finish if you're putting down epoxy later.
A concrete retaining wall holds back a slope that's been sliding into your yard or eating into a driveway edge. We size the footing and drainage behind the wall to the height and soil, not a one-size number, because an under-built wall just moves the problem downhill.
Old, cracked concrete has to come out before anything new goes in right, and we saw-cut and haul it off so you're not staring at a broken slab for a month. We also break out and dispose of old steps, patios or driveways on their own if you just want the space cleared.
Four steps, and no surprises in any of them.
You tell us what you want doing, we look at what is actually there, and we ask the awkward questions early.
In writing, itemised, free. If something might add cost later we flag it now rather than at the end.
Same crew throughout. We cover your floors, keep the dust down and tidy up before we leave each day.
You point out anything you are not happy with and we fix it before the invoice, not after.
