"We recently had our backyard landscaping project completed, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, Art and his team were professional, courteous, and attentive to every detail. They completed the entire project in a timely manner and kept us informed throughout the process. Their workmanship was outstanding, and they took great pride in delivering a high-quality finished product. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and maintained a clean and organized work area every day. If you're looking for a reliable and professional landscaping company that delivers excellent results, I highly recommend KASA. Our backyard turned out even better than we imagined, and we are extremely satisfied with their work."

"The service provided by D&R was excellent.  They quickly came out to the work site to provide an estimate after we first made contact and were able to beat all other bids.  They did an excellent job with all work; the building being remodeled is from 1914, and they were able to do a great job of blending contemporary materials in a way that matches the very old building.  Also, all work was finished a week ahead of schedule.   "

"We contracted with APS Inc. to remove rotted header and three upright posts on our back porch and replace with new stronger header to support two 6 inch rounded post. Not only does the replacement remove the rotten wood but also opens up the view of the back yard. We are very satisfied with the work and cleanup."

Concrete Finishing questions, answered by experts

For homeowners, it’s better to dry grind concrete. Dry grinding is the method described above and can be done by experienced DIYers for smaller projects. Wet grinding requires a big volume of water, a way to collect the slurry created by the water and dust, and an environmentally-safe place to dispose of the slurry. In general, only professionals do wet grinding.  

Whether it's better to stain or paint concrete depends on your budget, desired aesthetic, and DIY skill level. Generally, staining is a more durable option because the stain soaks into the concrete's surface and won't wear away like a topical paint coating. Painting concrete can trap moisture underneath the paint layer, which may cause the concrete to deteriorate over time. However, concrete paint offers a wider variety of colors, is typically easier and less expensive to apply, and is effective at covering up existing stains or blemishes on the surface.

While it's possible to do your own stamped concrete, it is generally not recommended. The process requires significant skill and specialized equipment to achieve a durable, high-quality result. It's easy to mess up the pattern, leaving you with an unsightly finish. Furthermore, any mistakes during the ground leveling and concrete pouring process can increase the risk of future cracks or sinking. Timing is also critical; you must apply the stamps when the concrete is at the right stage of curing—too early and the pattern may fade, too late and it won't set at all. Finally, it may not be cost-effective, as buying the necessary stamps can cost as much as hiring a professional. For the best results, it is advisable to hire an experienced concrete contractor.

The trick to getting a smooth finish when pouring concrete is to smooth the surface of the concrete with a magnesium float. This tool helps bring the finer, smoother aggregate to the surface for a cleaner finish. Don’t overdo the floating process, though, or the slab can become weaker and start to scale.

DIY is possible for basic finishes. Professional services ensure a polished, durable result for decorative or complex finishes.
