Alonso and his team did a fantastic job on our back patio installation. They were knowledgeable, efficient, and had great ideas to enhance the patio styling. The curved corners look great. Great job at an affordable price, and we would recommend to our friends and family. We especially loved the use of the extra cement for yard art molds which were a blast to paint.

AFG Concrete was professional, timely, and so easy to work with from start to finish. They were kind, hardworking, and took the time to make sure everything was done the right way—not just the fast way.
They extended our driveway, added a spot for our trash cans, buried our gutter drain, and poured our sidewalk, approach, and front walkway to our stairs. The attention to detail throughout the entire project was amazing, and you can tell they truly take pride in their work.
We are so happy with how everything turned out and can’t recommend them enough. I’ll definitely continue sharing their name with family, friends, and clients who are looking for a crew that works hard, communicates well, and delivers beautiful results. Thank you, AFG Concrete!

I needed to get some concrete cut out and hauled off from my patio in a quick short timeframe. ASG concrete was quick to come give me a bid and plan. They showed up very quickly to do the job. Wound definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone. Top notch company for sure.
