Oh, it costed us $5,000 for the whole project.

The color of the cement areas are all different!

The grass goes up to the foot of the house

The driveway was all cracked and bumpy.

The work involved clearing all the grasses, removing the old cement, and of course, putting in the new cement!

I put cement on this area, too. Don't you love the way I designed the 5 diamond planters!!! :) We'll be planting tree roses in those spots.

Look super! Someone did a great job, and those diamond planter spots really add a unique touch.

My house doesn't have a splash guard around it either, the grass goes right to the foundation.

The job turned out great and you indeed got a good price for the amount of work that you had done. The diamond design is lovely, too. Good job! Your house has taken on a whole new look. :)

Your house has taken on a whole new look. :)

It does, doesn't it? Suddenly our house looks so new, neat and clean now.. not like before it looks so beaten up.. and we didn't even touch the house, just the driveway!

does look a lot better now, like a different house. Good job.
