buffalo ny: call the concrete supplier and find out how much concrete
costs these days. stop by there to see who pays their bills on time.
call a satisfied customer list, and visit a driveway they like when
it's a few years old.
a good driveway will last a long long time. the patching i've tried
never lasts or appears the way you want it.
