Q: Can I pour concrete patios or steps myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for small jobs, but professionals ensure durability, proper grading, and compliance with safety codes.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't put gravel under concrete?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t put gravel under concrete, the concrete can crack, sink, bow, or crumble. Even the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-forming.htm">concrete forming</a> 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.</p></div>

Q: Could I get a concrete slab instead?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How much do cement companies charge for concrete projects?

• <div><p>Cement companies often charge a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-deliver-concrete.htm">per-cubic-yard cost for concrete</a>, which averages around <b>$130</b>. In most cases, you can also expect to pay for leveling, surfacing, and add-on services, like stamping concrete. Here are some typical prices for common concrete projects for which you may hire a cement company.</p><p> </p><ul><li><p>Walkway: $1,800</p></li><li><p>Driveway: $2,800</p></li><li><p>Standard patio: $3,300</p></li><li><p>Stamped concrete patio: $4,000</p></li><li><p>Concrete steps: $3,500</p></li><li><p>Colored concrete: $3,800</p></li></ul><p>You might also need to budget for removing your old concrete or additional land prep before your professional can pour concrete.</p></div>

Q: How long do concrete pathways last?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

What can we say, Doug of Artisan Renovations, did a wonderful, detailed job in creating our new deck, working though the rain and crazy heat. Using TimberTech colored materials consisting of kona and slate gray, Doug also replaced the hardware for our pool lights and patio outlets.

Jamie did a great job with our patio door and kitchen floor replacement. Very happy with the quality of work he performed. Our project grew out-of-scope, but he communicated very well and was patient with us and worked around our schedules. I would definitely use J&J Construction again!
