This company is currently NOT accepting new clients. We have been in business in Bethesda for twenty five years. We have only two employees, and each has been with me for more than twenty years. As the owner, I am at every job, and we never use subcontractors, ever, except for electrical outlet installations.

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.

"Walker and his crew could not have done a better job. The previous homeowner had added a concrete patio which unfortunately slopes towards the sunroom which was resulting in water damage. We got several quotes as it was a major project to remove the existing patio and add a drainage system. Walker and his foreman spent a considerable amount of time obtaining measurements and doing surveys to determine the grading, placement of drains before we even hired them. Walker spent much more time explaining the scope of the project before we even started. From start to finish he and his crew were excellent. They always arrived on time and communicated well if anything needed to be delayed due to weather. Due to the size of the project we had different patterns and color variations. Walker was wonderful during this phase and knew what my wife was trying for to achieve. Walker placed an extensive drainage system (all the water is now diverted from around our house to our front yard per our request). Now regardless of how hard it rains all the water goes exactly where it should! We couldn’t be happier with the job Walker did. He transformed an eyesore (concrete patio, crumbling asphalt, and a source of anxiety) into an oasis in our backyard. In total we had a new patio, retaining wall, rebuilt a bowing brick wall onto our basement stairwell, wrought iron fence, driveway, and extensive drainage system. Wonderful to work with and would hire without hesitation."

full lawn & tree removal service

"My initial call to the company went very well. I made an appointment for certain day and was told someone would call me the morning before coming out to do an estimate. No one called. I called the company back a few days later to make another appointment. I was told someone tried to call me but I did not answer my phone. No one called me on my cell phone. No one left a voicemail on my cell phone. Then I was told someone would come out the following morning. No one came and no one called... again. I understand this is a busy time for tree removal companies, but as far as professionalism goes, I believe this company needs more training when dealing with first-time customers."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Washington DC, DC

A professional team can clear an acre of land in as little as two to twelve hours, depending on your land's condition. You'll need to consider factors like vegetation density, terrain features, and obstacles such as trees, stumps, rocks, or existing structures can increase the time required. If your land is heavily wooded or has uneven terrain, expect the process to take longer and require more effort.

If you're looking to clear land for a pasture, expect to pay between $400 and $600 per acre for forestry mulching or $500 to $5,600 per acre for conventional land clearing. When choosing a method, consider:

  • Forestry Mulching: Leaves organic material in the soil, promoting new ground cover growth.

  • Conventional Clearing: You might lose valuable topsoil during this process.

A land-clearing project typically involves several key steps to prepare your property for construction or landscaping. First, assess your land and obtain any necessary permits from your local building department. Then, professionals use specialized equipment to remove trees, stumps, brush, and vegetation. After clearing, they haul away debris and may perform grading to level the land, ensuring it's ready for your intended use.

Preparing land to build a house typically costs between $1,000 and $4,000, depending on your land's size and condition. This includes clearing space for the foundation, which may involve removing trees, stumps, brush, and leveling or grading the site. Don't forget to budget for additional costs like permits, fees, and installing utility connections such as gas lines, water lines, and sewer mains.
