"Cesar did an absolutely incredible job redoing our backyard wood patio! From start to finish, he was professional, detail-oriented, and clearly takes a lot of pride in his work. He walked us through the process, gave thoughtful recommendations, and stuck to both the timeline and budget we discussed. The craftsmanship is top notch and the new patio completely transformed our outdoor space. We’ve already received so many compliments from friends and neighbors.

"Review I would not hire this company again. Here are the issues I had: 1. Said came to do the estimate, we agreed on the job and the price. 2. He subcontracted the job out. When his subcontractor showed up he told me the shape and size of the patio wasnâ t what Said had told him. Said didnâ t answer his phone to clarify. I showed them the email of what Said and I had agreed to. Said never marked the ground. I didnâ t realize I needed to, because I didnâ t realize this guy was so shady. He later billed me more than the estimate and said it was because they used more concrete and he didnâ t know what I and the subcontractor had agreed on. 1, I hired him. 2, he never marked it. 3, he didnâ t communicate with either his subcontractor or I. 3. The subcontractors also didnâ t show up until approximately 4-5pm to start work. Said initially didnâ t give me a time, I wrongly assumed most people start work in the morning. When they hadnâ t shown up by noon I contacted Said. He said theyâ d be there 2:30. They didnâ t show up until at least 4:30. 4. The people who did the work stepped all over the newly seeded grass I had asked Said not to step on, as well as throwing their tools in it and in my plants. They also brought an unsupervised child who walked in the newly seeded grass and touched and played with all of my daughters things in the yard as well as my gardening tools. They moved my sprinkler to the point I couldnâ t find it when they left. 5. Once the patio was poured it didnâ t drain. Said said to me â Iâ m not an engineer.â Well Iâ m not either, but I donâ t hire myself out for $4000 as a concrete and patio pourer. 6. When I contacted him regarding the drainage Said didnâ t set up a time to come discuss, he simply texted me â Iâ m on my way to your house.â He later responded on the phone complained that he preferred face to face interactions. Then he should make appointments for that. He also said he had â mentioned drainage could be a concern.â If he is not capable of a job that drains correctly he shouldnâ t bid the job. If people want swimming pools they will ask for that, patios should not equal ponds. 7. Getting them to come back and correct the drainage required constant texting and calling on my part (not proactive on theirs). 8. Said asked for payment before I was able to inspect the work personally, he was quick to ask for payment, but not so quick to correct his shoddy work. 9. When they did come back they didnâ t even ring my doorbell or discuss the corrections with me. They walked on my property without notifying me or discussing work they were going to do to my yard. 10. No discount had been offered for all of this trouble and poor work."

"Our backyard transformation in Fort Collins by Easy Seasons Grassworks was initially positive, but issues led us to lower our rating from 5 to 3 stars. James and his team created a concrete patio, added landscape lighting, and designed a xeriscaped area with a dry rock creek, adding charm. James?s artistic vision was accurate, and he adapted to changes. His small team worked hard, delivering on time. Dawn scheduled us quickly and met our budget initially. However, Easy Seasons low-bid the project and forced us to take responsibility for their bidding error, despite my verifications and approving a scope adjustment. Their lack of accountability frustrated us. While we love the outdoor space, the bidding issues marred the experience. Thanks, James and Dawn, for the effort, but the process fell short. "

"Couldn't be better. Miguel has been my landscape designer and installer for many years. He has re-landscaped our front, back and side yards over the years and I couldn't imagine using anyone else. He is professional, creative, honest and punctual. His team is comprised of hard working, highly skilled guys who truly know what they are doing. Miguel starts a project ON TIME and finishes at the promised time. No excuses and NEVER any "no shows". His bids are fully detailed and fair. He has worked with whatever budget I have for a project and is very good at suggesting alternative ideas/materials to give the desired outcome within budget. In addition he is a PRO in laying sprinkler systems, fixing existing sprinkler issues and planting trees. The two miniature blue spruces he planted in my front yard are thriving because of the soil he used and how he put in a circular drip line for consisting, even watering. His team has also done fall and spring clean-up for me and I have been very pleased. I highly recommend Miguel and his team!"

You’ll start by breaking the slab into manageable pieces and hauling the debris away with heavy machinery or sturdy hand tools. For concrete under three inches thick, a crowbar or sledgehammer often does the trick; thicker slabs call for a jackhammer and full protective gear.
Pros bring specialized tools, handle recycling when possible, and finish the job quickly and safely—another reason many homeowners call in a contractor instead of tackling it solo.
You’ll need a permit only if your local building department says so. Small, non-structural projects often slip under the radar and don’t require permits, but major demolition almost always triggers a permit and inspection. Check with your city or county before the first swing of the sledgehammer to avoid fines and delays.
With the right crew and equipment, most concrete demolition wraps up in a single day. Thickness, strength, and square footage are the biggest time factors, so larger or reinforced slabs can stretch the schedule. Pros use specialized tools to move fast without putting nearby structures at risk, keeping the job both safe and efficient.
Start by multiplying the slab’s length and width to get total square footage, then multiply that number by the going rate of $2 to $6 per square foot for slabs up to six inches thick. For thicker concrete, double the square-foot price. Don’t forget to ask whether disposal—costing $50 to $100 per ton—is already in the quote. Checking that line item keeps your estimate realistic.
Yes—think about reinforcement before you pour the replacement slab. Rebar or wire mesh boosts strength and durability on big projects like patios, decks, and driveways, helping the concrete stand up to heavy loads and changing weather. A local concrete pro can tell you exactly what gauge and pattern will give you the best long-term performance.
