Anyone know anything about concrete prices?

Try calling a local redi-mix plant and see if they can recommend a contractor. And, find a contractor who only does concrete work, or better yet, only flatwork. Up here, few contractors do both walls and flatwork. I grew up with concrete; my dad had a poured wall company for 30 years and then I go and marry a plant manager. If I lived closer, I would do your yard. I am quite good at flatwork,...for a girl.

dam that's exactly the price I was hoping and I was told it should be around

But the guys who came told me $3500 financed or one guy $2750 cash but I don't want to pay that much cash at one time

thanx guys

Then in that case...just kill all the lawn/weeds...and place bark or gravel...to make your backyard maintanance free....plus it gives it that state park feel, lol.

Oh wait, you live in hurricane country, never mind, lol.

yea that would suck here

Not sure bro it's 47 ft length by 16 ft width by 3-4" high

the contractor's were going order that huge truck that comes and sprays it with a giant hose

Must be a Boom Truck ....., could also be why they want more Money ..., them are Expensive Trucks to rent/own/Furnish for jobs.

D, in Miami if you concrete your back yard it will get crazy hot in the summer.

How about just doing some area's with pavers ? (bricks)

Pavers will let water seep through too

My dad laid the concrete in our yard in Miami on his own. He made a small pattern box out of 2x4's and used the kind where you dump the mix and then add water and it levels and dries really fast.

Similar idea to this:

The idea being that even if it doesn't come out even it still looks good.
