Yeah, the big thing for the concrete is that I'm making sure he's responsible for ordering everything. A friend wanted me to use a guy who would do the finishing for $100, but to me that sounded too cheap; and the last thing I needed was for the concrete truck to show up and nobody there to finish it. At least with the siding if he doesn't show up for a week then it can wait.
What impressed me with my neighbour's pad was the way he did the expansion joints. From my yard I couldn't see them; it wasn't until I got close up that I could see how he masked them; which menas I don't have joints that will fill up with water and dirt.
