Exclamation Need cement layer.. ASAP

Well before I end up with skinned bordercollies we need to do something with their playpen. We want to pour a cement pad for there fuzzy little bottoms to go outside on. It will be about 10 ft long and 6' wide. (estimate) done on the side of the house. the intention is A. they can't dig through cement. B. doesn't track mud into the house. We want to limit them to just that when we put them out in the winter. They get the needed exercise in other ways so it will be no big deal if they are out there. In the mean time they are destroying our backyard and we need their playpen done. Anyone do this type of work or know anybody who is reliable and honest? Anyway if you know anybody please contact me. We have the money just not the time.

I replaced the grass/mudholes in my dogs kennel/backyard with paver stones. Cost about $100 and a bunch of sweat to get 'er done. About 8x20. No more mud, and easier to clean up. The dogs didn't seem to mind.

We have an UN-Fenced 1/2 acre lot. When we had our golden ret. we had a 8'X10' chainlink kennel put in on the back corner of the lot.
To keep the mud down and not have the digging in the dirt problem, we place plywood on the ground and covered it with cedar chip.
It worked great for her over 12 years.
