Get matched with top concrete pros in New Windsor, MD

"We had used Hoffman Landscaping for a front yard project in the fall of 2013, and at that time we asked for a quote for deck removal and patio installation in the back of the house. We decided to be patient and wait until spring to tackle that work, but dealt with water issues all winter long in our basement and yard. My patience wore thin.

At the first sign of spring, I had Brian come out to look at our grading and drainage situation. He gave me a revised quote for the original work and the new work, and we were off. Well, almost...we had warm days followed by surprise snow followed by rain. (Three cheers for Maryland weather!) Brian kept in contact with me regarding scheduling and we crossed our fingers for warm and dry days.

The deck and concrete were torn out quickly, but we lost a few days to rain. There was a small misunderstanding about materials and tools being left at our house, but it was not a big deal and Brian was very apologetic. Once the patio work began, we saw progress happen quickly. Brian and his crew worked very hard to get everything finished before more rain came through, and they cleaned up very well when they were done.

They did have to come back one time to fix a couple of loose stairs, but now that we've had a chance to use the patio we're just so happy with the work that was done. The patio is beautiful, and the grading and drainage were done well. Now we wait for the grass seed to grow so we can take some "after" pictures!

We love working with Hoffman Landscaping and look forward to having them back for more!"

"Man, I wish I remember the guy's name who led the project because he is top notch. Came out and gave me an estimate for my original request of filling in gaps on my porch with concrete. Looking over my porch, he asked what my budget was. When I told him, he offered to build a brick flowerbed around the porch, replacing one that was made of wood and falling apart. He also said he would straighten it out (the wooden flower bed holder (whatever) was jutting out at an angle. He showed me pictures of some choices and I took him up on his offer (and, FWIW, I asked a few other estimates and he beat them by far). The crew came out Monday and said it may take two days, but they got it done in one and cleaned up everything as if they weren't even there. I cannot recommend this company enough, and I fully plan on using them again for some upcoming projects. The cost for filling in all the gaps in my porch and building the flower bed holder thing with bricks was $1,500. I am very pleased."

"We had a good experience with Always Waterproofing and Concrete. The lady who works in the office was so helpful and friendly over the phone too."

"Stone wall rebuild:
The crew disassembled the existing deteriorating stone wall which enclosed a Japanese maple and other plants.  They dug a trench beneath where the new wall would be installed and installed 6" of CR6. Perforated pipe was installed behind where each wall would be and it was filled with 6" of #57 stone.  The walls were then rebuilt with the addition of a pallet of matching Western Maryland stone.  The downspout drain was extended under the wall with SCH 40 pipe with a pop-up drain.  They seeded and strawed all disturbed areas and installed mulch inside of the stone wall which retained the Japanese maple and other plants and shrub. All of the wall is level and stable and looks great. I had gotten other estimates and they were all about the same, but I feel that no other contractor would have done as good a job.
Front walk replacement:
Removed concrete front walk which was deteriorating and hauled it away. Installed the proper multi-layer base and tamped it down.  Installed the pavers in a pleasing "I" pattern with a contrasting boarder. Replaced existing concrete step with wall block and caps that matches the pavers.  Installed polymeric sand, swept it in cracks and tamped it down. Reapplied sand, tamped it down and wet it down to activate it.  They diverted two drain spouts by the walkout in the rear of the house. They also extended an existing garden boundary, removing the grass by undercutting with shovels and moved the existing stone boundary around the new perimeter. They seeded and strawed all disturbed areas and installed mulch around the pavers. They did such a good job on the wall rebuild that I didn't even get estimates from other contractors for the walk.
Work crew:
All of the work crew on both jobs were polite and were hard workers. They were glad to answer any questions and explain what they were doing. They showed up on time and did an excellent job of cleaning up the work site when the job was completed.
Owner:
Kyle Hodges responded to phone calls and emails promptly and answered all questions. He stopped by periodically to monitor the jobs. I felt that he did more than he had to do make sure that I was satisfied with the work that was being done.

"Bryan R. and Austin R. did a great job with leveling our sunken concrete here!"

"Awesome job! Good ideas and able to get it done promptly! Took away old debris and left my yard clean! Would highly recommend and I’ll be using them again!"

"Outdoor advantage did a superb job. They removed a large (20x12) fish pond that had been in place for over 30 years. They had to haul away about 6 tons of field stone then create a flat and level surface for the pool. They then seeded and put straw down on the bare area. They showed up on time and finished at the end of the day. Outdoor advantage is my go to company for any landscaping project. I've used them many times and wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future."

"Good. They installed 2 layers of rebar and hydro barriers, gravel and lots of concrete. Thorough job."

"Everything went well. Dan was very responsive and kept us up to date on when the project would start since weather kept delay. Project took the exact amount of time we were told at the time of estimate."

"I live in a 50 community in Frederick. After getting 3 estimates, I chose Pikazos Landscaping to expand my driveway (100 sq ft.). Rigo was Fantastic to work with (small language difficulty.) He came out to estimate, arrived on time on the chosen day, returned to finish. Payment was simple. Quality of the work, the concrete, the workmen -5 Stars. I’d recommend them."
