You can but it you will only save the cost of the labor. Concrete straight from the plant costs around $140 per cubic yard. The labor involved in pouring a concrete slab is very demanding. Worst case scenario the concrete dries before you smooth it out and you are left with an unfinished slab that has humps and rocks sticking up.
There are plenty of times we have been called when the homeowner has started forming and decided it was too much for them. Other times they or an inexperienced contractor poured and the concrete got away from them. Either way we can help you out just give us a call.
How long will a Concrete Patio Last?
Concrete is designed to last 30 years but has often lasted more than 50 or 100 years. As concrete ages it gets harder up until about 40 years. Then it starts a very slow process of decomposing. The worst damage you will see is if there is erosion around the slab or tree roots causing cracking and deforming.
