Smile Recommendation for someone to place a concrete pad outside lanai

We would like to add a concrete pad (approximately 5'x7') to place our grill on outside our lanai. Any recommendations of someone that either places, or can pour, such a pad would be appreciated. Thanks!

I found out the hard way there is a rather large minimum for premixed concrete delivery, in my case I was able to hook up with a neighbor on their project, but the concrete delivery person said that the MINIMUM delivery was 8 yards, you probably need less than 1 yard. My point is you will need to find someone that will be able to mix the amount you need on site. If you do not find someone, you could consider pavers, I suspect this would be cheaper, and possibly a do it yourself project.
Hope this helps.

We had a small pad put in by somebody that subcontracted for Village Palms. He brought a small mixer that he towed behind his pick up truck. You might want to give Village Palms a call and check.
