"Their pricing was very competitive, and they did a great job laying in a block retaining wall for me. Created two tiers, graded everything flat, and cleaned area just fine. Very responsive communication by Ernie, and good customer service overall."

"What a great experience. Normally concrete jobs are a pain. Poured perfection made is simple. I told him what i wanted and he did everything i asked for and more. He made sure to include drainage in the bid that i didn't even think about. That and he explained every step of the process for me. Over all i could not be more happy with the job that was done. I will definitely be using Aaron and his company again for any future concrete jobs."

"My extensive project entailed new sod, irrigation, plantings and rock in the front yard. In the back yard, demo of a small patio, and pouring of a huge decorative concrete surface, plus new sod and irrigation. I plan to hire Alex next year to revamp the flower beds in the back as that piece had to wait. Alex and his team were absolutely outstanding. Attention to detail, such as the drainage system, and overall expertise resulted in a complete transformation. Pricing was competitive. Alex was very pleasant to work with. He listens and offers professional guidance. I highly recommend Hermanos Flores Gardening."

"Their bid was extremely well detailed. I know nothing about retaining walls and was able to follow and understand all of their proposal. Their finished work is exactly what I wanted. The crew, AK-crew, was professional and kind. The only issue I had was the waiting period for getting the necessary supplies. I felt that communication was less than expected during that time - but that may only be me. I'll need another retaining wall in my front yard and will be using this company again"

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.
