Get matched with top gravel driveway repair pros in Humble, TX

"The plan on this job was to protect the pool from collecting debris with a plastic tarp. In the demolition process, the crew damaged several coping bricks. The framing, rebar, concrete pour and stamping went otherwise OK. They were late removing the tarp due to needing to work on the brick, and it later rained, covering the tarp with water. Joe offered to cover the coping brick damage, sending a guy at the end of other jobs to chip the broken bricks out over the course of the coming week. He damaged a finish tile. Also, the number of “damaged” bricks seemed to increase as we went along. We were not able to remove the tarp when anticipated due to the additional coping demo, and it stayed on over the rains leading up to the 4th of July weekend. Joe's original plan was to clear any water from the surface of the tarp with a submersible pump, removing the debris along with the tarp. This did not work due to the amount of water that had collected. He cut the tarp to remove it, with the debris falling in the pool. After a few days of brick chipping, I started asking for a new schedule. Joe told me to call the office. I asked this question repeatedly, sharing my frustration with the way the job was going. She eventually told me to talk to Joe when he arrived with the crew on July 9. When he appeared on the 9th, he went back to check on his guy and quickly went back to his truck. I flagged him down to give him a spare finish tile and ask my scheduling question. He drove away while I was talking, indicating that he had to get to another job. I waited for a while, then called the office to complain about being disrespected and still not having a schedule. I was angry on this call, but did not yell or use profanity. Joe returned to my home later that morning. I opened the door when I saw him. He came at me with balled up fists calling me names and threatening to beat me. He felt I had been inappropriate with the “seventy year old woman” who answers the phone at the office. He threatened to beat me again, called me some more names, and walked of the job. I have a recording of most of this interaction from my Ring doorbell camera. This was an $8000.00 job. I have paid everything save $650.00 that was due at the end. I will likely incur expenses that exceed this amount in having the work completed, if I can get a contractor to finish the job. Additionally, my pool service company indicates that they will charge $1500 to clean the construction debris and another $1500 to restart the pool. There will be additional expense in replacing the water to be drained in the cleaning process. So if you don't mind a contractor that bullies his way out of a job with threats of physical violence when things go south, Houston Solid Concrete is for you. Otherwise, steer clear. They only get 1 start because 0 is not an option."

"I scheduled an appointment with Joey to give me an estimate for some landscaping work. He forgot about the appointment until I called him, resulting in him being 1 1/2 hours late. Following our meeting, he was supposed to provide me with a quote for the work we discussed, but I haven’t heard from him. I’ve since read reviews on Backyards Plus. He either is a 5 star, or a 1 or 2 star based on the reasons I’ve cited above. Not sure if he treats all potential customers this way, or maybe my project wasn’t enough $$$ for him. I was ready to have him do my landscaping project and take over my lawn service. Doesn’t seem to want the business."

"Steven carefully considered my wants and needs, and worked thoughtfully with me to renovate my entire front, side, and backyard at the most competitive price. He weighed and judged the best solutions for the proper replacements by new plants and several design features to create a beautiful, well-coordinated natural environment. Rock edging of several landscape beds and sprinkler system improvements were made. The hard-working crew was professional and efficient. Steven’s flexible creativity, like that of an observant and situationally responsive artist, developed the project to its neat, colorful, and pleasant completion. I highly recommend the skilled workmanship of Steven and his crew."

"They arrived on time, were very polite and professional, and finished the work quickly. Now my sidewalk is level, the tripping hazard has been eliminated."

"The contractors contacted me once to ask what i needed. I told them I needed 2 sprinkler heads replaced, and never heard back from them."

"Provider collected money on September 22, 2025. Promised to start work on September 24. No one from provider came to the site on september 24, 25, 26, 29. Only communation available is by phone messages."

"I recently hired JMZ Concrete for a project, and I couldn't be happier with the results! JMZ and his team were nothing short of excellent. They arrived on time, demonstrated professionalism throughout the entire process, and were incredibly courteous while working on-site. The quality of their craftsmanship exceeded my expectations, and the project turned out beautifully. I truly appreciate their attention to detail and commitment to delivering top-notch work. Without a doubt, I would hire JMZ Concrete again for any future projects. Highly recommended!"

I approved the work and the following week came out and did the job. one day job and i can already tell that drainage issue going away. the crew was great after they finished did a great job of cleaning up. Will use again."

"Isiah was easy to work with. Provided options with very fair pricing. Went with complete tear out of old driveway and pouring of new and wider driveway and sidewalk and platform for storage shed. The work was performed on time according to agreed schedule. All workers were meticulous in their craft and very friendly to work with. The project was on time and very detailed with special edges. I was more than pleased with the entire process. Would highly recommend this company for any of your concrete needs you won’t be sorry for choosing them."
