Check Out Some Concrete We've Installed

Concrete Flatwork We Can Install

Concrete Driveways: These are one of the most common and prominent concrete flatwork projects for homeowners. A well-constructed driveway enhances curb appeal and provides a functional space for vehicles.

Concrete Walkways and Pathways: These guide visitors to the entrance of a home or navigate through gardens and other landscaped areas. They can be straight, curved, or meandering, depending on the layout and design preferences.

Concrete Patios: A staple in many homes, patios offer a solid surface for outdoor furniture, BBQ grills, and other recreational activities. They can be constructed adjacent to the home or as a separate space within the yard.

Concrete Porches: This is the covered entrance area leading to the front door. A concrete porch provides a sturdy and attractive platform for decoration, seating, or simply entering the home.

Concrete Stairs or Steps: Often accompanying walkways, porches, or patios, concrete stairs provide elevation changes in the landscape and can be crafted with various finishes and designs.

Concrete Parking Pads: These are additional parking areas, often situated beside a primary driveway or in a backyard, providing space for recreational vehicles, trailers, or guest parking.

Concrete Driveway Aprons: This is the section of the driveway that connects to the street. It serves as a transition between the public roadway and the private driveway and can be especially important in areas with curbs.

Concrete Slabs: These flat surfaces can serve as foundations for sheds, workshops, or other outbuildings around your property.  These can be custom sized and finished for your specific project requirements.

Concrete Finishing Techniques We Use

Broomed Finish (also known as Brushed Finish):

Appearance & Texture: As the name suggests, once the concrete is laid and starts to set, a broom is dragged across the surface, creating a textured appearance. This leaves behind a series of small ridges.

Function: The primary reason for a broomed finish is to achieve better traction. This is especially useful for driveways, walkways, and other areas where slipping might be a concern, particularly in wet or icy conditions.

Smooth Finish:

Appearance & Texture: This finish is achieved by using trowels to create a smooth, sleek surface. It offers a more polished and refined look compared to a broomed finish.

Function: Smooth finishes are often chosen for aesthetic reasons, especially for areas like patios or indoor floors. However, they might be slippery when wet, so they're not always the best choice for sloped exteriors or areas that see a lot of rain.

Questions About Concrete Flatwork?

Concrete flatwork refers to horizontal concrete installations used primarily for exterior surfaces in residential settings. Common examples include driveways, patios, walkways, and porches. These surfaces are often characterized by a smooth or textured finish, ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal.

When properly installed and maintained, a concrete driveway or patio can last anywhere from 25 to 30 years. Factors affecting its longevity include the quality of installation, the concrete mix used, and local climate conditions.

Absolutely! One of the advantages of concrete is its versatility in design. From broomed to smooth finishes, and even stamped patterns that mimic stone or brick, the design possibilities with concrete are nearly endless.

For most residential projects, you can walk on the surface after 24 hours. However, for driveways or parking pads where vehicles will be placed, it's best to wait at least seven days to ensure the concrete has achieved adequate strength.

The cost can vary based on the size of the project, the type of finish desired, and any customizations. We recommend reaching out to us directly for a detailed estimate tailored to your specific needs.

I emailed the company from the website asking for an estimate. I was quickly contacted to discuss the project. Rodrigo was able to provide a rough estimate based on measurements and a sketch of what I was wanting. He then setup a time to come to the site to verify/confirm the project. The estimate provided over the phone was very close to the “real” estimate…no hidden fees or charges. If you’re looking for a professional that is prompt, responsive, and provides a great product, make sure you give Rodrigo’s a call.

I had happened to reach out to Rodrigo for a free estimate and scope of work for a job in my backyard. Rodrigo was very punctual, responsive, and always followed up. He had got the scope of work and proposal on time. He is the guy you could trust. I couldn't do a project with him due to unavoidable reasons at the last minute but came here to leave a review about his professionalism!!!!

Highly recommend Rodrigo’s Landscaping to anybody who is looking to get a professional work done. They did an amazing job making a concrete retaining wall for us. They worked very fast and finished the job in just 2 days. Very happy with the results. Also, they followed the contract and executed everything in the way we asked them to. Would use them again in the future.

For the past 2 years, I have been searching for a good hardscaping company which can help transform my backyard / frontyard. Many contractors would come and take a look and would either not send the quote or never understood what I was looking for from landscaping design standpoint. I contacted Rodrigo through FB and he came the next day(I believe Sunday) to take a look and gave me a quote in couple of days. Rodrigo is thorough and easy to work with. He will make sure you are satisfied with the design and outcome of the project. He is there at every stage of the project, continuously monitoring the progress and answer any questions I had at each stage. His team works really well and does a thorough job. At times, I raised concerns that the work is not as expected and his team took the inputs/feedback and made corrections and completed the work to satisfaction. All in all, Rodrigo’s Landscaping team did a fantastic job with my backyard / frontyard. I would highly recommend them for any major project you want to get done. You will not be disappointed.

I've used Rodrigo Landscaping for three major projects at my residence; Cedar Mulch and tree & leaf removal that accumulated for 15yrs. I was impress with his professionalism i hired him again to install three 9ft green giant trees and cut down a few trees to allow the new trees to fully grown. The 3rd project was aerate and reseeding my one acre yard. He had an interesting service I had not had for the 20yrs I've owned my home. It was called removal of the dirt buds left by the aeration machine. In summary, he has always kept to his commitment of our landscape contracts and I respect and appreciate his style of running a landscape business. He's a rare gem and I plan to use him again!

Rodrigo and his crew did a marvelous job. First of all Rodrigo responded to our request for a Landscape design and quote the same day. He was on time, very professional and created a landscape design by the next day at a very competitive price. He explained exactly what they would be doing and how long it would take to complete the job. One week later his crew showed up and completed the project that day. They left the site in perfect condition and Rodrigo came by to make sure we were satisfied with the work. I would recommend Rodrigo's Landscaping to anyone. He honest, creative, professional, knowledgeable, reasonable and on time.

Rodrigo unexpectedly stopped by and offered to spread a pile of mulch we had sitting in our driveway. We ended up hiring him to weed our landscaping and spread the mulch. He was fast, priced fairly, and detail oriented! We plan to use him for lawn maintenance throughout the upcoming summer.
