"We used Madewell to expand our driveway and get a concrete slab. We opted for concrete stamping and a salmon colored concrete. Everything came out just as it should. Tom and Dennis were always there making sure that everything was correct. Extremely happy!"

"If you are looking for a business that is creative, great craftsmanship and professional, look no further than Capital Patio. Derek and his crew were honest and upfront. He told us from the beginning weather is a favor in his industry, along with supplies due to Covid. We appreciated that information up front. Derek went out of state to pick up the stone we ordered! Our fire pit, bench, lighting and even added a pad for our trash cans is beautiful! Very handy guy. If you are looking for quality work, I would whole-heartedly recommend Capital Patio."

"Our yard is a work in progress. We started the service at the beginning of summer mowing our lawn every 2 weeks. Then we ask to add mulch and included with that was a V border to keep the mulch from washing into the grass. We have been very pleased so far and anticipate a beautiful yard by next Spring after a full year of proper fertilization and weed removal and an extremely hot summer. Because of this they are adding adjustments to our sprinkler system to improve a more even distribution of water to our lawn. We are really excited to see all the great results when everything is completed. I will report again sometime in the fall. Thanks Angie I would recommend our landscape service to anyone who is looking to improve their overall look. I think that Scott can do about anything you need when it comes improving the outside look of your home."

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.
