I just got tired of sore back, raspberrys/concrete burns,busted knuckles, working at the pace of the concrete.
Just my 2c for whats it worth.
I don't disagree it was pricey. However, there is a lot of extra concrete work they did that was included. First, they removed and replaced nearly 4000 sq feet of sidewalk that leads to the main entrance, and they put in a new 12' w x 120' long sidewalk from the lobby to the staff parking lot.

Before they even could start the fountain, they had 2 men for 2 full days with a bobcat and a dumptruck remove 40 year old yews that filled the 72' diameter circle.
