First we don't cut corners on anything.
Second we use a 4000 PSI straight cement mix(no fly ash or other admixtures are added other then what we need to accelerate or decelerate the set up time due to weather conditions).
Third we make sure things are right not just do it, if we see a drainage problem or anything else that can cause future damage we will bring it to your attention and explain what the proper fix is to add longevity to your project.

3. Steps
4. Elevations
5. Finishes- broom, slick, rotary

7. New or exisiting landscaping

What are your choices of reinforcement?

1. wire mesh(different gauges of 6"x6" grid wire installed in the concrete by lifting it up while pouring)
2. fiber mesh(small pieces of fiberglass mixed into the concrete)
3. Rebar- the best option in TDB's opinion(comes in various sizes from #3=3/8, #4= 1/2 and up, rebar can be used on various size grids for strengh and also used continuous in walls, steps.
