I used Williams concrete (352) 408-7944 and they used steel rods for steel reinforcement. Others did not even mention it in their proposals.

Ask the Builder: Don’t let contractor skip steel reinforcement in concrete driveway or patio – Orange County Register

For smaller companies you will get a better price if you can find a neighbor since they have to purchase concrete in fixed quantities if it is delivered by a concrete truck.

One problem I had was the ARC denied making changes in the right of way next to the street even though every other house on my block did that when expanding their driveway. But I did it anyway since who will know since it looks like all the rest.
