I had a cracked driveway because there was no rebar and no proper gravel foundation. Colin Concrete was the most reasonable price from all the contractors that I spoke with. The new concrete driveway now has rebar and a gravel foundation. I’m writing this review after one year because the concrete driveway is still looking great.

They were prompt with communication, the job was completed in a timely manner and the price was reasonable compared to the other quotes I got. Not only did the driveway turnout…

Jose and his crew were awesome! They broke up the old driveway and patio, hauled away the old concrete, and poured a beautiful new driveway, patio, and replaced the side entrance stairs. They were professional and efficient! I will definitely use them in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone.

They worked through the entire day and finished the project by 8:00 p.m. that night. In between those hours, they destroyed and removed the old driveway and the sidewalk that went from the…

We had to have a retaining wall replaced as well as part of our driveway. The previous owner of our home built the retaining wall out of blocks and didn't bother adding drainage. After several disappointing bid appointments with landscapers and excavators, we decided to call a concrete contractor for the driveway…
