Any concrete people here looking for some work in south calgary
I have a concrete pad to pour in my back yard about 520 sq feet, want charcoal coloured concrete with a block stamping. No access from the back but there is a overhead door to allow straight access to the back yard. Top soil was removed and the clay was balanced and packed, 3-4" of 20mm crushed put on put is not packed. It needs to be formed, needs re-bar and likely drill into the house concrete as it will be touching the house. It's is graded already at 1.5% drainage away from the house. Would like it done soon if someone here is looking for or knows someone that does good work. Thx

I would consider putting buffalo board between slab and house instead of tying the slab to the house.Reason being is that they can move on their own.House is settling and deck is settling/heaving.

Yes I would drill it in.
If your still searching for someone you could private message me your number and I'll get in contact with you and probably swing buy after the long weekend. Been in the business about 20 years. Just a bit busy with a few projects.
Thanks Darrell.

He uses Lafarge or Inland.
Xbolt7mm probably knows more.
Uses line pump or wheelbarrow I'm guessing line pump for this one. Haven't seen the site.
pour happening probably weather pending

There is such a wide variety in pricing, 5 grand to 9 grand for 530 sq feet. I did the dirt work, rented one of those stand on ditch witch bobcat things with a dump trailer, it was an awesome machine, fun too
