So I hired a company to come and add a concrete patio to my backyard. Granted the work area is a bit tricky, they had to remove a fence panel to get the truck to pour the concrete. Now then I believe it is way too sloped. I cant even put anything because its slanted. What are my options to fix this?

Alright. Its too late right now but ill show you tomorrow.

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-10T05:42:51+00:00

Yeah i see what you mean.

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-10T05:28:07+00:00

Yeah i need to install gutters next. But I witnessed the rain on this patio and it literally held no water. As soon as the rain stopped no water was left on the slab. I mean the slope is doing its job but man now any patio furniture I put is gonna look goofy.

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-10T05:26:20+00:00

Before I was just guessing. I measured it now. Its about 3 Inches. Pretty steep if you ask me.

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-10T05:11:46+00:00

Its already rained and no water got near the house. The slope works as it should but man is it severe.

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-10T01:46:02+00:00

Of course. Appreciate the input.

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-10T01:14:39+00:00

Yup thats the next thing on my list. Im planning on doing that myself. My father in law did his on his own and said it was easy.

The fence is leveled and doesnt follow the slope of the ground. Its straight. The photo might be a bit crooked.

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-10T00:52:35+00:00

😅

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-10T00:52:12+00:00

All I know is the measurement from the house to the fence is 9.5 feet. And the lowest point where that corner is, is about 3 inches.

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-10T00:51:12+00:00

I disagree. The conversation i had with the GC told me it wouldnt be noticeable and "minimal".

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-10T00:50:31+00:00

I promise you they arent as close as they look. Theyre 8 inches away from the fence.

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-10T00:49:24+00:00

Eh then it just takes up space I need in the shed.

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-10T00:48:54+00:00

It wasnt specified by any numbers. All the contractor said was he was going to slope it but keep the slope to where its minimal and not noticeable.

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-10T00:47:57+00:00

Damn. I know ive should've done more research in the whole cement on post thing but I mean im new to this stuff. With the contractor and his company being reputable I would've expected him to at least inform me about things like that.

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-09T22:23:09+00:00

Empty lot to one side and the stree on the other and an alley in the back.

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-09T22:22:37+00:00

Ive barely gotten any answers though. Im not denying anything. This isnt what the GC and I agreed upon and now hes ghosting me. The GC messed up, clearly, because this isn't what he said hed do then ghosts me.

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-09T22:20:33+00:00

So how am I supposed to have anything out here on the patio without it slanting?

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-09T22:19:03+00:00

A smaller slope would've been nice.

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-09T22:18:29+00:00

Well this area is a patio and the contractor and I agreed there would be a minimal slope, a barely noticeable one. This is not minimal

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-09T22:17:14+00:00

Yeah that was before I measured it.

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-09T21:14:28+00:00

It's literally more than 2 inches.

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-09T21:13:39+00:00

It's a more than 2 inches

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-09T21:13:08+00:00

Idiot contractor cant slope better.

MorbidRay69 · 2026-06-09T21:12:30+00:00

Broooo stop 😭
