- If you are not home for the walk-through we just ask that you check the forms when you are home that night.
- Remove any fence posts, landscaping or any other sort of obstruction in the way that you have discussed with your sales contact.
- Use a plywood machine path and remove any concrete, deck, pavers or other material that needs to be removed using a front loader.
- Set the forms of your project and compact a 4” base of limestone or recycled crushed concrete.
- If you are having piers installed, they will drill down below the frost line and set 6” pipe for the piers.

Day Two On Your Project
- Our crew will arrive, unload the plywood machine path and set the rebar grid on the compacted base.
- Once the concrete truck arrives, we will throw bags of color into the concrete. This is your chosen integral color that is mixed all the way through.
- Buggy the concrete back to your project using 100’ of a plywood path. On most projects, the concrete truck stays on the street the entire time.
- We pour 5” of 5000 psi concrete.
- Pour, strike off, bull float, and hand float the concrete. They will then throw your release color on top of the whole project. This is a messy process that will be cleaned the next day.
- Stamp the project with the stamp you choose.
- Reset any fence posts that were taken down for access if specified.
- Please keep people and pets off of the project this day.
Day Three On Your Project
- Wash off all of the release left on the project and clean up all surrounding areas.
- Saw cut control joints in your project to minimize cracking.
- Scrub the whole patio clean and pressure wash any part of your home that was affected but the concrete.
- Clean and dry the project.
- Seal the project using our penetrating sealer that does not leave a slippery film.
- Fresh topsoil around the patio to even out the over-dig and help with grass growing back!
- Pressure wash your driveway if used for access.
- If you request a fire pit, seating wall, or outdoor kitchen they will build it after the sealer is dry.
- We ask for the remainder of your payment when your project is completed.
