"Met w John Shuleva, president - to get an estimate & some ideas on how to improve landscaping in back yard area. John arrived, but didn't seem too interested. I asked him to provide an estimate w scope of work, but he never provided this. When i followed up w him, he said they were busy & needed a few more days to provide estimate. They never provided an estimate, given the lack of interest I decided not to follow up a 2nd time. Not sure what the issues were, but given my experience I would not recommend them for landscaping services. Bottom line, I was disappointed in lack of interest & no follow up. Ernie Kulik"

With 17 years experience building dream outdoor spaces, I know we can build your dream. We are a small enough company that we retain a personal touch with each customer throughout the design and creation process, yet we are large enough to develop grand-scale outdoor living areas. We can build a single planting bed to grow perennial flowers, or we can develop an area of five acres or greater involving numerous elements, phases and contractors. We believe it is important for an outdoor living area to feel like an extension of your home. Our mission is to build a landscape project that is architecturally relevant, relaxed and constructed to fit the natural setting of your property. We work to create the feeling that the inside of your home simply flows outside.
"Virtuoso was an excellent partner. The entire process, concept development, budget development, timing, communication, professionalism, honesty, and then final result is beautiful."

"Matt did a great job with our backyard transformation project. We had 3 areas that would flood even with a small amount of rain. My backyard was so uneven that my kids could not safely run without stepping into holes due to neglect by previous owners. Matt removed a shed and gazebo and disposed of it. He was flexible with a last minute tree removal and halted the project to accommodate our schedule. We no longer have water issues, even landscape, and a great looking new lawn. Matt is very professional and a great communicator. He has followed up with us multiple times, overseeded, and fertilized. He even gave us free mulch that was unexpected. I would highly recommend Matt's services."

"We hired concrete solutions to replace our driveway. A gentleman named John, visited our home and he seemed very knowledgeable and professional and assured us that he has been in business for many years and that we could trust and that he would do a good job. We initially were only going to do only a portion of the driveway but he convinced us to do the entire driveway. He also said he would do a couple of panels and sidewalks to the side of the driveway near the garage. Although, there was nothing wrong with those panels. Upon completion of the project, the driveway looked very attractive and we were satisfied with the driveway. We experienced a problem when it rains, especially when it rains hard. When there was a hard rain, the washer in the driveway blown like a river into our garage. We have lived in our home since 1982 and we've never had this problem. When we contacted John, he immediately become defensive and started yelling and was very mean and acted like a bully. He insisted that we have a problem before he replaced the driveway. He also called our daughter a liar when she told him we never had the problem before. He told us that we now needed a new garage floor and he would give us a deal on the garage floor. And instead of charging $4500 for the garage doors, that we would only charge $4000. Bottomline is this, we did not have a problem with water from the driveway coming into our garage and now we have a sever problem. We have to place multiple blankets in our garage to stock up the water when it rains. We are in our 60s and we have never written a bad review for anything in our lives and never sued anyone. We are very disappointed in Concrete Pro's LLC / Solutions and believe that they have made a serious error that has caused us a tremendous amount of stress. We regret that we felt it necessary to write this review but want others to be aware that John of Concrete Pro's LLC/ Solutions maybe disingenuous. They can form their own opinion but our experience has been very upsetting. Thank you."

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.
