A concrete patio can add style, function, and value to your Milledgeville home—if it’s done right. But too often, homeowners fall into costly traps that lead to cracks, poor drainage, and short lifespans. Here’s what to avoid—and how All American Concrete helps you get it right from day one.
DIY Errors and Cheap Contractor Pitfalls
Going the DIY route might seem like a budget-friendly option, but it often leads to uneven finishes, improper mixing, or concrete that doesn’t cure correctly. Similarly, hiring a contractor based solely on price can backfire. Watch out for:
- Rushed or uneven pours
- Lack of reinforcement
- No consideration for drainage or climate
These mistakes can turn your new patio into a future repair project.
