"David Shephard and his employees installed 2 walkways, a garbage pad and a 35’ x 18’ driveway. His price was less than other contractors bidding on the job. The work was completed satisfactorily on 08/17/2017. We noticed a crack all the way across (18’) the driveway in January 2018. I informed David. After 5 calls, 2 text messages, and 2 visits, he said that section of the driveway would be replaced. Sad to say nothing was done in 2018. He always had a reason; weather, his schedule, his personal problems. I turned the communication over to my husband in 2019. He was called 4 times. On the 4th call on 07/11/2019 David said he had been here to look at the crack again. Don’t know why he didn’t let us know when he came so we could all discuss; or why he didn’t call afterward; or why he needed to see it again. The city had been working on the streets the last time he was here and he said the city probably caused the crack. No David, this is 2019, not 2018 when the crack occurred. By this time we were very frustrated. David didn’t want to be bothered by us or our problem any longer. He stated that concrete cracks. We realize that but within 4 months? He said we were pests. Huh, go figure!! Do your job and honor the contract and you’ll never hear from us again. We asked him to at least fill the crack if he wasn’t going to replace that section. He told us we could buy patch at home improvement stores & repair it ourselves. We originally replaced the driveway due to cracks and now we’re having to live with one which is only getting worse. What good is a 3 year warranty if the contractor doesn’t honor it?? David didn’t even honor the contract for a problem that occurred within the first 5 months. You’re only as good as your word and sorry to say his word is useless."

A concrete pathway is very durable and can last upward of 30 years under normal conditions. Heavy snowfall and excessive heat may decrease this lifespan over time, as can vehicle traffic and salt applications during freezing conditions. Homeowners in extreme climates might notice cracking and deterioration after just 15 years, while those in more temperate climates should see multiple decades of life from their concrete.
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.
Both a well-constructed deck and a patio can add value to your home. Patios are generally cheaper to build but don’t offer the same aesthetics as a quality deck. Therefore, decks can be more appealing to buyers than patios, increasing a home's resale value.
Some patios will cause your property taxes to increase, while others will not. A good rule of thumb is that if your patio requires a permit, your taxes will increase. That’s because permits are necessary for “permanent” land improvements, and your taxes are based partially on improvements. Something like a concrete patio that’s considered permanent will bump up your property taxes, while a “temporary” paver patio or flagstone patio will not negatively affect your taxes. Keep in mind that this can vary, so always contact your building department to see if your patio project will affect your taxes.
If you're only working with a gravel pad, and there is no concrete foundation, you might be able to upgrade to a concrete slab, but you’d have to speak with a professional concrete expert to confirm and get pricing. If you have a concrete foundation or cement block walls around the area where you want to build flooring, you might be able to pour a new concrete floor over the existing one to forgo repairs. Again, speak with a concrete expert or foundation company to see if this is an option.
