"When it came time for the pour, the preparation was done in a hurried, haphazard way. I had specifically instructed that the rebar be mounted on concrete chairs because I expected a professional job. Instead, the company owner ordered the concrete before the prep work was finished, then showed up more than 30?60 minutes after the concrete truck had already arrived. That delay forced the crew to rush the placement of the rebar and wire, causing the rebar to slide around during the pour ? far from optimal.
He didn?t have all the necessary supplies on hand, nor did he complete the proper preparation. I told him not to remove the forms that day; best practice is to leave them in place for 24 hours, with 12 hours being the minimum. He ignored my concerns and removed them anyway, insisting he knew better than ?online information.?
Finally, when I asked him to remove the small vertical pieces of wood before leaving, he waited until I stepped inside the house and then left in a hurry."

Patios questions, answered by experts
A properly installed 6-inch concrete slab, mixed and cured under the right conditions, can support about 3,000 pounds concentrated over a single square foot without buckling. Conversely, concrete pavers can handle around 8,000 pounds per square inch when laid over a solid, well-compacted base.
The average cost to install a patio is around $4,000, but you could spend anywhere from $800 to $14,000 or more. Some cost factors you’ll need to consider for an accurate estimate include the following:
Square footage of the patio
Type of patio you want (concrete, pavers, or brick)
Soil quality on your property, which can dictate if drainage is necessary
Add-on products
Local permitting costs, if applicable
Accessibility of your yard
After you install your concrete steps, and even as they age, applying a coat of paint or concrete sealer to them every one to two years is a great way to keep them looking fresh and new. We also recommend doing light concrete step repair if you notice chipping or crumbling. You can dress up your steps with planters, decorative railings, and other decor to breathe new life into your stoop as well.
Stepping stones should match an average human stride, so the general rule is to place them about 24 inches between stones. However, many designs put stones closer together. If you choose to plant in between them, leave at least 6 to 8 inches between stones to give plants room to grow.
When comparing pavers versus a concrete patio, paver patios tend to be more costly than their concrete counterparts. However, the total cost depends on the type of materials you use and the size of the patio. If your patio needs repairs, a paver patio will be easier and less costly to fix, even though it’s more expensive upfront. Plus, a paver patio won’t bump up your property taxes, while a concrete patio will.
