[ Lower Montgomery County, PA ]
Six things we build. Built the same way every time.
Patios, pool decks, driveways, walkways, steps, and retaining walls. Six services across the Philly western suburbs — and the same standards on every job, whether it's a small front stoop or a long Gladwyne driveway.
Six services running across one Lower Montco neighborhood at a time.

[ The numbers / Side by side ]
What's actually different between the six services.
| Spec | Concrete | Pool | Sidewalks | Driveways | Steps, | Retaining |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stone base depth | 6–8 in. of compacted stone — drains water, stable bed | 4 in. across the deck, 5 in. at the pool edge | 4 in. — standard for foot traffic | 5–6 in. — thick enough to hold cars and SUVs | 36 in. deep — below frost, can't heave in winter | Stackable concrete blocks (Allen Block, Versa-Lok, or equal) |
| Concrete thickness | 4 in. — for foot traffic and patio furniture | 6 in. of compacted stone — drains water, stable bed | 4–6 in. (public) / 4 in. (private) of compacted stone | 6 in. of compacted stone — distributes vehicle weight | 12 in. minimum, wider for heavier loads | First course below ground; below frost on walls 4+ ft |
| Concrete mix | 4,000 psi freeze-resistant mix — won't flake in winter | 4,000 psi mix — handles chlorine + winter | 4,000 psi freeze-resistant mix — won't flake in winter | 4,000 psi freeze-resistant mix — won't flake in winter | 4,000 psi freeze-resistant mix — won't flake in winter | About 1 in. of lean per 1 ft of height |
| Crack-control lines | Every 8–10 ft — controls where it cracks | Broom strokes across the pool edge — grippy when wet | 5 ft minimum — meets borough code and ADA | 1/2 in. rebar or wire grid — spreads vehicle loads | 6–7.75 in. — per residential building code | 12 in. of clean stone with a drain pipe at the base |
