"Review I would not hire this company again. Here are the issues I had: 1. Said came to do the estimate, we agreed on the job and the price. 2. He subcontracted the job out. When his subcontractor showed up he told me the shape and size of the patio wasnâ t what Said had told him. Said didnâ t answer his phone to clarify. I showed them the email of what Said and I had agreed to. Said never marked the ground. I didnâ t realize I needed to, because I didnâ t realize this guy was so shady. He later billed me more than the estimate and said it was because they used more concrete and he didnâ t know what I and the subcontractor had agreed on. 1, I hired him. 2, he never marked it. 3, he didnâ t communicate with either his subcontractor or I. 3. The subcontractors also didnâ t show up until approximately 4-5pm to start work. Said initially didnâ t give me a time, I wrongly assumed most people start work in the morning. When they hadnâ t shown up by noon I contacted Said. He said theyâ d be there 2:30. They didnâ t show up until at least 4:30. 4. The people who did the work stepped all over the newly seeded grass I had asked Said not to step on, as well as throwing their tools in it and in my plants. They also brought an unsupervised child who walked in the newly seeded grass and touched and played with all of my daughters things in the yard as well as my gardening tools. They moved my sprinkler to the point I couldnâ t find it when they left. 5. Once the patio was poured it didnâ t drain. Said said to me â Iâ m not an engineer.â Well Iâ m not either, but I donâ t hire myself out for $4000 as a concrete and patio pourer. 6. When I contacted him regarding the drainage Said didnâ t set up a time to come discuss, he simply texted me â Iâ m on my way to your house.â He later responded on the phone complained that he preferred face to face interactions. Then he should make appointments for that. He also said he had â mentioned drainage could be a concern.â If he is not capable of a job that drains correctly he shouldnâ t bid the job. If people want swimming pools they will ask for that, patios should not equal ponds. 7. Getting them to come back and correct the drainage required constant texting and calling on my part (not proactive on theirs). 8. Said asked for payment before I was able to inspect the work personally, he was quick to ask for payment, but not so quick to correct his shoddy work. 9. When they did come back they didnâ t even ring my doorbell or discuss the corrections with me. They walked on my property without notifying me or discussing work they were going to do to my yard. 10. No discount had been offered for all of this trouble and poor work."

"Cesar completed a beautiful reconstruction of our patio paver project that was previously improperly installed by a different contractor in 2018. Cesar carefully evaluated the defects of drainage, lack of foundation base layer and grading that had led to a collapse. Each step of reconstruction was professionally completed, and itemized pricing estimates were clearly communicated and consistent with the final billing statement. I recommend Highland Hardscapes without reservation."

Think of cement as the glue and concrete as the finished product. Cement is a powdered mix of heated limestone and clay. When you blend that powder with water, sand, and gravel, it hardens into concrete—the strong, durable material used for driveways, patios, and foundations. In other words, every concrete slab contains cement, but cement on its own isn’t strong enough for a driveway.
The price to install an asphalt driveway is $7 to $13 per square foot, slightly less than concrete. However, asphalt requires more maintenance than concrete and does not last as long. This shortened lifespan and increased need for maintenance make concrete a more economical choice in the long term, but ultimately, the choice is up to each consumer.
Most residential driveways do fine with a four‑inch slab. If you’ll park heavy trucks or RVs, bumping up to six or even eight inches adds strength and wards off cracks. Thicker concrete costs more up front, but it can save you repair bills later by standing up to bigger loads and freeze‑thaw stress.
Concrete driveways and asphalt driveways differ in material composition and performance. A concrete driveway is engineered for lasting durability and versatile design options, while an asphalt driveway is more economical initially, yet demands increased maintenance over time. Concrete surfaces provide extensive aesthetic choices and an extended lifespan, making them a strong investment for high-traffic areas.
A concrete driveway endures for 25 to 30 years with proper maintenance and installation. A concrete driveway lasts long because its durable composition and robust construction provide excellent resistance to wear and weather. High-quality installation, regular cleaning, and timely sealing all contribute to extending its lifespan and maintaining performance over decades.
