    The guy I used, I found in a Facebook group based out of my city. He had great reviews and I messaged a few people that he did work for. Really happy with how it turned out. Just do your homework.

      If you live in a subdivision with active new construction, talk to one of the guys pouring concrete, they will generally do side work, and at a pretty reasonable rate. I would expect to see $3-5/sq ft for labor and materials depending on the complexity of the work.

      I started reading this then realized it was from '13. Having laid pavers, and am now in a similar situation, with sections of it dropping and washing out because I made a few mistakes, looking back, I would pour a 4" pad and lay the pavers on top of that. No worries with the base washing out, they lay much easier, and should be worry free for a long time.

          If I pour a 4" base, I'll be dammed if I put pavers on top.

              I think my problem is that I'm only doing 150 ish Square feet and everyone has minimums. This has basically made every quote $3K or more.

                Yeah, your best bet is to just keep calling, maybe someone will be in the area and have some leftover material they could slide over. My understanding is concrete plants have a minimum they will sell and deliver.

                  Most plants have a minimum of 2 or 3 yards of concrete, and even then, you end up with trip charges a lot of the time.

                  Find some residential construction going on in the area, I'm sure you can find a crew working on a slab that will do the work.

                      But they look better. Well I guess it depends on the pavers

                          Not even 20 minutes after I posted this someone called with an estimate 1300 cheaper than the next lowest. He had a much lower minimum so I didn't need to increase the size of the pad or throw away half the load.
