Hi,

Thinking of getting the backyard done up a bit as it looks poor, previous owner of house did a diy patio job and it's brutal. Uneven, water pooling on it, looks awful.

Anyway I'm looking for recommendations on a good contractor that does driveways and backyards. A guy who cleans driveways etc told me to get pattern imprinted concrete down as it's much better maintenance wise and easier to clean.

I got a quote today and it's high enough really, from FCD Driveways, anybody familiar with them! Could you recommend somebody else?

Thanks.

I went with a company called Stone Age in the end, based in crecora. Although a bit pricey they did. An excellent job which will never have to be revisited.
