Regular Concrete
Concrete is the most forgiving hardscape material when the fundamentals are done right — and the most unforgiving when sub-base prep, mix design, or curing are treated as afterthoughts.

The Foundation Every Other Surface Depends On.
Whether it's a simple patio pad, a large driveway, a garage apron, or a concrete base for outdoor structure, every pour starts the same way: with proper site assessment and preparation. AJ Criss evaluates existing soil conditions, establishes correct finish grades for drainage, places reinforcement where conditions call for it, and finishes surfaces with consistent, clean results — broom finish, smooth trowel, or whatever the application requires.
Poured Right. Built to Last Decades.
There's a reason concrete has been the backbone of residential hardscaping for over a century — it's cost-effective, durable, and endlessly versatile. But not all concrete is the same, and the difference between a slab that performs for 30 years and one that cracks in the first five comes down to sub-base compaction, proper mix design, correct reinforcement placement, and controlled curing. These are the fundamentals that AJ Criss has been getting right for over 50 years across North County San Diego.
