Note to above posters, new concrete will NOT match old concrete, there will be some difference in color and there will be a difference in the 'finish', broom, brush, or other, and new concrete never matches old concrete.. As for other details, be sure you get ARC approval, if there are irrigation lines in the area, they will need to be moved, these lines tend to follow the outline of the house but not all the time. There may be other restrictions depending on the type of house.
Also, do NOT depend on the contractor to get ARC approval, been there done that and got screwed when the contractor said they got approval and did not!!!!
