"Conrad and his team at Del Mar Landscaping are great. His guys are very respectful and do excellent work at a fair price. They made sure they finished the job during a very uncertain time (Coronavirus pandemic), which is much appreciated and also made sure they cleaned up everything when they were done. Second time I've used them. Highly recommended."

"Long 40 foot driveway was buckling in multiple locations due to upending tree roots. SRS was selected from multiple bids to demolish driveway, remove troublesome roots and pour new concrete driveway with 3 ribbons of brick approximately 13 feet apart. The project was done beautifully within one week as promised. We are very pleased with the new driveway. It was a pleasure working with Scott and his crew exhibited pride in their workmanship."

"I have a stamped concrete patio that had major cracks and chunks missing. AZ did an amazing job fixing the cracks and blending the repairs with existing stamp pattern. The new stain color was incredible and looked much better than it did when new about 15+ years ago. Max and Eileen were exceptional to work with, fantastic customer service. The final product exceeded my expectations. I will them again for any future concrete work."

"Luis did an amazing job on our backyard patio and walkway. He was very prompt, attentive to everything we wanted, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. He even finished a few days early, which I really appreciated since we were hosting?it took a lot of stress off and gave me peace of mind. We?re so happy with how everything turned out, and everyone who?s come over has loved the new patio. We?re already looking forward to having him come back to do our driveway this summer."

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.
