Solid Ground Concrete Inc

We have had a very poor experience with Solid Ground that began in April 2023 when they installed a new patio for us. The patio that was installed had a defect for some reason. While I don’t want to speculate, we were told from the employees of the company that there was an issue with the sealer months later, but we are unsure of what caused the defect. After the patio was poured, we reached out to see if there was in issue due to the funny look of the concrete, but the company told us everything was fine and the patio just needed time and all would look okay. We moved forward with building an outdoor kitchen on the patio after waiting the appropriate amount of time that Tony told us to. Here’s the issue-as of the last summer, the patio still looks terrible. We reached out in July of 2024 when Tony sent his guys to check out the patio to see what could be done, as we had spent over 10k additionally on the outdoor kitchen that is sitting on the patio. When the guys came out, they brought a solution to seal the patio, but told us that it would not fix the issue. They told us that we they would not recommend this solution, but they don’t know what’s going to fix this. After Tony dodged some more of our calls, he reassured us that he would have a solution and sent a third party company out, called the Seal King. While the Seal King was very nice and informative, he told us that the solution would cost 5k, would need to be done every 3-5 years (costing an additional 5k each time), and would not be a natural look that we wanted for a simple concrete patio. This all occurred around September 2024, and ever since, we have been awaiting a solution from Tony still as he continued to tell us that he needed to look into solutions-cutting around the kitchen and pouring a new patio or moving the kitchen to pour a new patio. At this point, we have still not heard from Tony as he wanted to talk to his lawyer about all of this… Realistically, we will need to spend over 10k to have this addressed and done correctly. We are in a much worse position than we were 2 years ago before Solid Ground poured a discolored patio and assured us it was okay to move forward with an expensive kitchen build. Not only were the defects in the patio disappointing-I don’t think we have seen Tony since the day the patio was poured, he leaves us waiting for months at a time, and does not seem as though he is actually trying to address these issues. Thank goodness that his employees were honest and transparent with telling us that the patio did not look normal and that Tony’s solution would not fix it. Pictures are of the discolored patio and kitchen. There are 3 noticeably different colors/variation-the blotchy look that covers most of the patio, the dark gray on the stairs (the whole patio was supposed to be the same color), and the spot where they ran out of concrete/cement during the pour and had to get bags to complete the patio. We didn't capture the test spots form the employees applying sealer that is by the kitchen.

In one word: SUPER

Contacted company who responded and came out the next day. Quote received later that day. We agreed upon a design and a price the next evening and Tony said they would be the following morning at 6AM. I didn't know what to think at that point that they were available the next day but its late in the season so I didn't think much of it. The next morning, right on time, Tony and his crew were in my backyard with flashlights ready to go. They did great job that day laying the slab. They came back subsequent days to clean and then seal the slab. They did a great job and you can tell they care about quality. Tony's and his crew are very professional, respectful, and friendly. Completely satisfied and would recommend.

The job went very smoothly and we are happy with the work that was done. Easy to work with, helped with the design and picking out colors for the back patio and front walkway.  We would recommend Solid Ground Concrete to friends, family and neighbors.

Installed drainage leading to bubblers out front, new driveway, redid front and back stoops, tore out front patio and poured new stamped concrete back patio. Great to work with!
