Will projects involving cement affect my property taxes?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, adding concrete landscaping features will cause your property taxes to increase. That’s because projects that involve a permanent concrete foundation require permits and permanently improve the land. Since taxes are based on improvements, your taxes will go up. Here are some projects that will likely have an impact on your taxes:</p><ul><li><p>Concrete pool decks</p></li><li><p>Concrete patios</p></li><li><p>Concrete walkways</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-concrete-driveway-cost.htm">Concrete driveways</a></p></li><li><p>Concrete steps</p></li><li><p>Concrete foundations</p></li></ul><p>Since most of these will only lead to a partial improvement, you can expect the bump in your taxes to be minimal, but this is still something to consider.</p></div>

How much does concrete labor and pouring cost?

• <div><p>Labor and pouring adds between <b>$8 and $18 per square foot</b> to your total for concrete delivery. Especially for larger projects, it’s usually a good idea to <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/concrete-delivery/">hire a professional concrete delivery company</a> when it comes to installing concrete surfaces even though it will undoubtedly cost more to hire a pro to do the work for you. </p></div>

Q: Can you lay artificial grass straight onto concrete?

• <div><p>Generally, you shouldn&rsquo;t lay artificial grass straight onto concrete. You&rsquo;ll want to add some sort of underlayment that acts as a cushion. This makes it a little bit safer for children running around a pool and is recommended to prevent injury in recreational settings. It also protects that artificial grass&rsquo; backing. Just glue the grass to the underlayment using the proper adhesive.</p></div>

Q: How do I remove concrete sealer?

• <div><p>To remove solvent-based sealer, you can pressure wash the surface and wait for the concrete to dry. You may need a special remover product if you have a water-based concrete sealer. Another option is to etch and neutralize the 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>

Carlos and his crew came soon after we called and removed five shrubs, planted two new shrubs and put decorative rock down. The cost was reasonable, they did the job quickly and we will probably call them again.

Pioneer Landscaping & Fencing added decorative rock and concrete curbing around the perimeter of a recently installed block wall fence. They replaced concrete curbing around a trio of trees in my front yard to accommodate tree roots. A number of underground sprinklers were also relocated.
