what to know

Pre-Planning With
Crown Concrete

To deliver the best possible results for your concrete project, please review the following important considerations. The more we know about your property and needs, the smoother the job will go — and the less chance of surprises or damage.

Site Access Preparation

Make sure the work area is clear of debris, plants, valuables, furniture, limbs, and anything else that might get in the way.

Unscheduled Visits

Crown Concrete may need to make unplanned visits to the site during your project. Please plan accordingly.

Sprinkler Heads & Irrigation Lines

We are not responsible for unmarked sprinkler heads or irrigation lines. Repairs start at $25 per broken head or line. Please mark or disclose these before we begin.

Equipment Traffic & Landscape Protection

Heavy equipment will be used to transport materials on-site. This may cause damage unless plywood protection is requested. Plywood reduces but does not completely prevent landscape damage.

Landscape Repair

You may need to hire a landscaper after the project to fix any damage to lawns or adjacent pathways. This is not Crown Concrete’s responsibility and should be considered an extra expense.

Handyman Consultation

It’s a good idea to consult a handyman beforehand to plan for any repairs or adjustments needed to brick, siding, or other materials affected by the project.

Private Utilities

Unmarked private utilities such as sump pumps, septic tanks, auxiliary electrical lines, and invisible dog fences may be at risk during excavation and construction.

Cable and TV Lines

Cable and TV lines are often buried shallow or embedded in old concrete, which may cause service interruptions.

Pet Boarding

We recommend boarding outdoor pets during the project to avoid safety risks, escaped pets, or damage to wet concrete.

Parking & Access

We require ample parking and full access to the worksite, which may happen during early or inconvenient hours.

Access Over Finished Surfaces

If we need to cross finished pavement, asphalt, or concrete to reach the site, minor scratches, scuffs, or tire marks may occur. Dirt surfaces may get disturbed.

Elevation Changes

New concrete elevation might vary to meet drainage needs. Without detailed architectural plans, the onsite foreman will make this decision.

Colored Concrete

Colored concrete takes 30+ days to fully cure and settle into its final shade. Expect some variation, especially on multi-load projects.
