"Dirk Concrete was so easy to work with. I called him, he gave me a fair estimate, and we hired him. He showed up to do the job exactly when he said he would. He did a great job and the cement turned out wonderful. He got the job done quickly, didn't make a mess, and was very professional. The best part, his estimate was my final bill! I've hired a lot of contractors and it seems like the estimate is never the same as the final bill. I highly recommend this company. They do great work and so friendly to work with. Their work quality is top notch. I'm still in awe when I look at my big 30x70 slab he laid down! Thank you Dirk Concreate! You made new concreate so easy!"

Patios questions, answered by experts

It is essential to have a stable and well-prepared foundation under stone steps. Often, a layer of gravel or crushed stone is placed as a base material. This provides a firm and level surface for the stone steps to rest upon. Additionally, landscape fabric is often laid down before adding the base material to prevent weed growth and help stabilize the foundation. Creating a solid base ensures the stone steps have adequate support, reduces the risk of settling, and enhances the overall durability and longevity of the steps.

Decks are generally more expensive to build because they require elevating and railings. The difference between decks and patios is that decks are elevated, while patios are usually on the ground level. Plus, decks are usually made of wood and need more maintenance than most patios. However, decks and patios serve the same purpose, providing outdoor space for you to enjoy.

It is generally cheaper to build a concrete patio versus a brick patio. Basic concrete costs around $8 to $15 per square foot, while a brick patio typically ranges from $10 to $20 per square foot. The cost difference comes down to both materials and labor—pouring and finishing concrete is faster than placing each brick by hand. Brick pavers look great and last long, but they’ll cost more up front. If you’re looking to keep your budget in check without sacrificing function, concrete is usually the more cost-effective choice.

In most cases, you will need a building permit for cement work on your property. You need a permit for any project that adds a permanent foundation on your property—which, in most cases, includes even a flat slab of concrete poured directly on the ground. Building permits for concrete projects usually cost between $100 and $500, although this can get higher for larger projects. You can always ask your cement company if a permit is necessary for your project, and the expert will typically pull the permit for you to save you time and energy.

If you don’t put gravel under concrete, the concrete can crack, sink, bow, or crumble. Even the concrete forming process will not go as smoothly if you are working directly on the soil or bare bedrock. The lack of a proper gravel layer can also lead to drainage issues below your slab, leading to water issues throughout your lawn and around your foundation.
