"I hired Venture Outdoor to extend my concrete driveway to the side of my home. After getting three estimates, I chose venture outdoors because when Hunter arrived, he was professional and most importantly, he truly cared. He thoroughly explained everything and was transparent about everything, discussing my expectations and what he felt I needed to have done for the best outcome. I am so glad I went with venture outdoor, they removed some old concrete and laid the new concrete just as I wanted and I love it!!!! I am so glad I went with Hunter recommendation because he was right! No other person who came out to my home for an estimate explained things as Hunter did. He got his guys out and did the job in one day and guess what? There were no surprises! He informed me upfront that where they did the work and hauled the dirt was going to look a little dirty afterwards and that it would have to rain a few times to wash the dirt away, stuff like that. Hunter and his crew completed the job, while I was out of town and when I came back, I was so happy to see my new thick, beautiful drive way!! They even put in a drain for my water spout, and it is aesthetically pleasing! The bottom line is that, I would recommend Venture Outdoor to family and friend or anyone who are needing new concrete laid! Remember, do you want someone to just come and lay concrete or do you want someone who genuinely cares about the quality of service? CHOOSE VENTURE OUTDOOR!!! I look forward for using them for any future projects."

"Workers not sure about techniques to make 90 degree turns. Used hammer chisels instead of concrete saw for cuts. Made uneven appearance in existing driveway concrete. It will blend over time. Still waiting for City Inspection which is not Company's fault."

"It is really hard to get a small job done. M&A was wonderful. I only needed 2 yards of soil. The workers they sent were very efficient and very easy to work with. I am very happy with the job."

"Justin was so great to work with. I had a small patio behind my townhouse that i wanted to fit with pavers, and I’m not well versed in landscaping at all. He was super responsive to my questions and my inquiry and was very knowledgeable about the paver project I wanted to do and was patient with my questions. His pricing is very affordable and he was able to get my project done ahead of schedule and I love the result. Can’t wait to use my patio for years to come! I’d hire Justin and Modern Landscape & Design again and would recommend him to any of my friends."

"Project went very well and the team worked quickly. Everything that I wanted was accomplished. The only issue is a crack that has developed on the back patio. This is due to the existing patio being poured over and not cut out due to being monolithic with the house foundation. The difference is how the concrete was married together is the reason for the crack and not the fault of work. Reason for 4 star is some property was damaged by operator of a skid steer. Parts were paid for by contractor but operator could have been more careful to avoid the issue altogether. Highly recommend."

Also his team was very responsive and on time plus the owner Allen Walter’s was very professional with everything . I definitely would recommend them for any future work"

"3 Creek did an amazing job on our brick patio. Their team designed and built a beautiful addition to our backyard that we will use for years to come. We added turf after we started and they were able to complete that as well. Highly recommend this crew!"

Figuring out how many bars you need isn’t a one-size-fits-all equation. A structural engineer or experienced concrete contractor will look at your slab’s thickness, the loads it must carry, and local code requirements, then run the numbers for you. That quick consultation protects your budget and keeps the finished slab safe, level, and up to code.
Match the metal to the job. For light, thin pours like a sidewalk, welded wire mesh often does the trick. Thicker slabs—driveways, garage floors, foundations—usually call for traditional steel bars. If your site sees salt, humidity, or coastal spray, spend the extra cash on galvanized or stainless steel to fend off rust and avoid future repairs. When in doubt, a concrete pro can confirm the best fit for your project and budget.
Stainless steel costs more up front, but the alloy can last 75 years or longer with little to no rust. That longevity means fewer repairs, less maintenance, and peace of mind for structures exposed to salt, moisture, or de-icing chemicals. If you’re pouring near the coast or in a humid climate, the extra dollars now can save you multiple replacements down the road.
An engineer will review the slab’s thickness, span, soil conditions, and expected loads, then specify bar size, spacing, and grade. Skipping that step or guessing can leave you with cracked concrete or a blown budget. For a modest consultation fee, a local engineer or contractor can do the math and hand you a rebar schedule that meets code and keeps your project on solid footing.
