Welcome to Creative Concrete, the Affordable Alternative. We've been helping homeowners, builders, architects, and property managers add value to their properties with decorative concrete since 1994! Creative Concrete can give you the look and feel of granite, stone, brick or slate, all created with durable long lasting concrete. There are significant advantages to stamp concrete over traditional materials. Unlike traditional materials, with decorative concrete, you need not worry about matching the color of a split brick or cracked fieldstone. Creative Concrete projects always look their best, season to season, year after year. Owner involved. Quality employees. Cost is determined by the job.

"Owner consistently displayed poor engagement with prospective customer. I should have expected no less given that I called 5 times before (and spoke with owner each time). The owner finally schedule an appointment after I complained about having multiple conversations with him, but still had not received a visit. Since the Decorative Concrete's office is located and my property are located in the same neighborhood, owner suggested doing a drop in one day. I agreed -- but the visit never happened. When finally scheduled for an appointment, the owner sent a relative to provide the estimate. That person never followed up with a quote. I also gather there was a racial issue as well and Decorative Concrete wasn't interested in my $20k job or the referral from another professional."

FAQs for excavation projects in Washington DC, DC

The depth of your trench depends on your project's needs and local regulations. Standard trenches are usually 12 to 24 inches deep and about eight inches wide. Specific installations have exact requirements—for example, water pipes need to be buried 24 inches deep, while drainage systems may require a depth of 36 inches. Understanding these dimensions helps with proper planning and ensures utilities are installed safely.

Boring and trenching are different methods for installing underground utilities. Boring uses directional drilling to install utilities without digging a continuous trench, minimizing surface disruption—ideal when you want to preserve your landscaping. Trenching involves digging an open channel where utilities are placed before backfilling, which provides direct access but causes more disturbance to the surface.

Digging a trench for 100 linear feet requires 12 hours of work. The total time is affected by factors such as rocky soil, tree roots, and other obstructions along the path, which demand additional effort and planning. This precise scheduling insight helps in project planning and ensures that the work is completed on time, with all conditions carefully accounted for.

Yes, you'll likely need to lay sod after trenching to restore your lawn's appearance. It typically takes 30 to 45 days for new sod to root firmly and blend with your existing grass. Consider consulting a local sod specialist to get accurate timelines and ensure the restoration looks great and functions well.
