Do I need a permit for a patio or retaining wall?

In Anne Arundel and Howard County, small patios at grade typically don't require permits. Retaining walls over 4 feet in height require permits and engineering. Walls that retain a slope, support a structure, or affect drainage may also need permits regardless of height. We'll determine permit requirements during your estimate.

How long does concrete need to cure before I can use it?

You can walk on concrete after 24-48 hours. Light furniture can go on after 3-4 days. Vehicles should wait 7-10 days.
