I recently formed up for a 14' x 50' patio slab and a 4' x 44' driveway extension. Everyting is ready to pour. My question is, how hard is it to pour and finish the concrete if I was to try to do it myself? I have never poured or finished before. Or, should I hire a professional to complete the project. If I do it myself, I am looking at 1500 - 1700 for the concrete and the pump to go over the house, since a concrete truck will not be able to get to the back of the house. If I chose to pay someone, how much am I looking at spending, and do y'all know any good contractors that could complete the work? Live in Denham Springs. TIA

Are you considering doing this alone or having a crew of friends along to help?

Not by myself per se. I could probably get my dad or other family members to help. How hard is it to pour and finish the concrete? I have been told there is a art to finishing concrete and I don't want it to look like shite.

You would need some tools that you don't have

Concrete mess ups are forever or until you bust it up and repour



I would hire that project out
