Home Services

Everything that comes off the same truck.

Concrete flatwork is the main event. The digging, breaking, hauling and wall-building that surrounds it is done by the same crew, so one job stays one phone number.

The short version

Concrete first, and whatever it takes to get there.

Most concrete jobs aren't only a concrete job. There's usually something to break out, dirt to move, a level to fix or a wall to hold a slope back before a single yard of concrete gets ordered.

Kidd's Exterior Solutions runs the machines as well as the trowels, so all of that stays in-house. It's quicker, it's cheaper than coordinating two outfits, and nobody gets to blame the other guy for the bit that went wrong.

“KES is a small local business startup specializing in contracting landscaping, concrete, excavation, and haul-off. We provide top-quality exterior services while emphasizing customer service and customized approaches.”

Concrete flatwork

The four we're called about most.

Each of these has its own page with the detail, the common questions and the things worth deciding before anyone pours anything.

A wide, clean concrete driveway curving up to a two-car garage

Concrete driveways

New pours, full replacements, widening for a third vehicle, extensions down the side of the house, parking pads and the approach out to the street.

A modern concrete patio with a clean slab edge and rendered garden wall

Patios & porches

New patios, extensions to the small slab the builder left you, front and back porches, and pads for hot tubs, outdoor kitchens, fire pits and sheds.

Sidewalks & walkways

Front walks, side paths, gate runs, steps and landings, plus single-panel replacement where an old walk has lifted into a trip hazard.

Concrete repair & replacement

Cracked, sunken, rocking, flaking or lifted concrete assessed honestly — patched where a patch will genuinely hold, torn out and re-poured where it won't.

The rest of it

Machine work, haul-off and hardscape.

These turn up in most concrete jobs anyway — and plenty of people book them on their own.

Site prep A compact track loader working a graded dirt pad under a clear sky

Excavation & grading

Digging out to depth, moving dirt, cutting the fall so water runs away from the house, and compacting a base that won't settle under a new slab.

  • Dig to depth
  • Grading
  • Drainage fall
  • Base compaction
  • Trenching
Tear-out A skid steer clearing broken material from a small demolition site

Demolition & break-out

Old driveways, cracked patios, slabs, footings and small outbuildings broken out and cleared, ready for whatever goes in behind them.

  • Concrete break-out
  • Small structures
  • Footings
  • Slab removal
Clear out A compact skid steer loader with its bucket down, ready to load debris

Haul-off & site cleanup

Broken concrete, spoil, brush and job-site debris loaded and taken away. The yard should look better when we leave than the day we arrived.

  • Concrete & rubble
  • Dirt & spoil
  • Brush & debris
  • Final sweep
Hardscape A low rendered garden wall with planting beside a poured concrete terrace

Masonry & hardscape

Retaining walls, stone and brick borders, paver installation, bed edging and tree rings — the work that holds a sloped yard together.

  • Retaining walls
  • Stone & brick
  • Pavers
  • Bed borders
  • Tree rings
Exterior A suburban home with a tidy lawn, driveway and front walk

Landscaping & irrigation

Outdoor landscaping work and sprinkler and irrigation repair — the other half of what KES has always done alongside the concrete.

How it runs

Same order of work, every job.

Whether it's a garbage-can pad or a full driveway replacement, the sequence doesn't change. It's the sequence that decides whether it lasts.

Reinforcing bar tied out in a grid across a prepared area before a pour
  1. Walk it and price it

    We come out, stand on it with you, and talk about what's actually going on — where water goes, what's under the ground, how the levels have to meet. Then you get a number and a straight recommendation.

    Free, no obligation

  2. Break out and dig

    Old concrete out and on the truck, dirt moved, subgrade dug to depth. Nothing gets poured over a base we haven't seen and compacted.

  3. Form, level and reinforce

    Forms set square and true to the fall, then rebar or mesh tied and chaired so the steel sits inside the slab rather than under it.

  4. Pour and finish

    Placed, screeded, floated and hand-worked at every edge. Broom, brushed or smooth on top, whichever suits the slab and how it's going to get used.

  5. Cut, clean and hand it back

    Control joints saw-cut early so the concrete cracks where we tell it to. Forms out, debris hauled, site swept, and the real cure dates before we drive off.

    Haul-off included
