"Karl and his crew took care of everything. No corners cut here, first class job, turn on time, for a fair price. I definitely recommend creative concrete"
"We hired Pacific Outdoor Living to do a bunch of projects in our small space in Burbank. They built an amazing water feature, added some grass to a space that was formerly concrete slab, completely changed our front yard from a lawn that was all weeds to a beautiful garden, built a stone wall in front of aforementioned garden, converted our sprinklers to drip irrigation, and added some lighting. From Andrew the designer to Chad, Jorge, and Daniel the supervisors to all the workers, everyone at this company is top notch. They got the job done super quickly, and were as professional as can be. They were more expensive than the other bids we got, but this was one of those "you get what you pay for" situations and we couldn't be happier with the results. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat."
"Shofar was wonderful to work with; they repaired our patio slab. Removed /tore up damaged concrete, tore out the tree roots which had caused the problem. and then laid a new slab. They were so professional, timely, efficient, and communicative! I highly recommend this company!!!!"

"Had Pastor and his crew pour 2 concrete driveways on 2 different houses, they came out when they said they would, spent extra time making sure it was compacted, level, and rebar correctly installed.
Did an awesome job, couldn't ask for any better quality than what they provided and would highly recommend them to anyone wanting quality concrete work."
"We hired Eric and his crew for a concrete patio, outdoor fireplace and stuccoed pony walls for a cooking countertop. They did exceptional work on time. We have been exceptionally pleased with their craftsmanship and would absolutely hire them again."
Deciding whether to buy or rent a pressure washer depends on your budget and how often you plan to use it.
Renting: The daily rental cost typically ranges from $40 to $175. Renting can be more cost-effective for a one-time project.
Buying: The purchase price for a pressure washer can range from $100 to over $1,000. More specifically, electric models generally cost between $100 and $400, while gas models run from $300 to $600.
If you anticipate using a pressure washer multiple times a year, buying one is often a better long-term investment. When purchasing, remember that a higher-quality machine will likely deliver better and more reliable results.
Yes, you can and should pressure wash a stamped concrete driveway, as well as other stamped concrete around your yard on the patio or walkways. While the stamping pattern can handle the pressure of the water, it's still best to use a gentle solution to avoid breaking down the concrete or affecting any additional stain coloring added to the design.
Jet washers can last for up to 10 years, but a more exact timeline for your jet washer depends on the frequency of use and maintenance. Some machines are given a rating of their approximate total hours of usage, which can help determine how long yours will stick around based on how many hours you use it each year. Aside from learning how to properly use the jet washer, you’ll want to keep it stored safely and securely so that it won’t rust or get damaged between uses.
The best plan for removing rust stains from concrete is to progressively move from weaker cleaners to heavy-duty acids. Move from dish soap to vinegar to oxalic acid to muriatic acid, stopping whenever the stain is sufficiently removed. This process ensures that only the safest possible methods are used, rather than jumping right into a powerful cleaner that may be effective but unsafe and unnecessary
Yes, you can remove oil stains from your driveway by applying an absorbent material such as baking soda, sawdust, or cat litter, pouring on a liquid detergent such as dish soap, scrubbing the area, and rinsing with water.
