Site Prep & Grading

Driveway work starts with stripping turf and compacting the sub-base, ensuring solid support and proper drainage for years of use.

Forms & Reinforcing

Forms are built to defined widths and curves, set level for a clean edge. Reinforcing with rebar or mesh is good for maximum strength.

Finish & Joint Cutting

Once poured, concrete is finished to a smooth or textured surface based on preference and use. Joints are cut to prevent cracks.

Reliable Approach to Driveway Projects

Every driveway gets handled with careful planning and the right tools for the job site. Ground conditions, access points, and traffic patterns are studied before work begins so the installation or repair fits the property, driveway shape, and planned use.

Crews use equipment that matches job size, whether removing old concrete for a fresh start or patching trouble spots on a functional slab. Edges, curbs, and transitions are shaped for smooth entry and exit, while finishing steps are timed to get the best surface and joint control.

The end result is a driveway ready for everyday use, designed for long-term performance and easy upkeep. Proper site clean-up and surface protection give owners a finished space that’s ready for parking, guests, or work vehicles right away.

New Driveway Installation

New driveways are built from the ground up, starting with the right sub-base and reliable grading. Crews set forms and pour concrete to the thickness and width needed for daily parking and heavier vehicles. Slope is adjusted away from structures, and the surface receives a finish that fits the owner’s style; smooth, brushed, or with custom edging.

Driveway Replacement

Removing cracked or sunken driveways requires careful demolition, safe hauling, and site preparation. After the old slab is cleared, specialists evaluate the base, make any needed grading adjustments, and rebuild a new surface. This process helps address past drainage or settling issues while delivering a long-term upgrade for vehicles and curb appeal.

Driveway Repair and Patching

Repair services address surface cracks, holes, scaling, or pop-outs. Contractors assess problem areas, remove loose debris, and use compatible patch materials to rejuvenate damaged spots. Skilled repair methods can lengthen the life of a slab, cut down on dust or water entry, and restore good looks without the expense of a complete replacement.

Widening and Extensions

For homes that need room for more vehicles, RV parking, or walkways, driveways can be widened or extended as long as site space and property lines allow. New concrete is matched in texture and slope, and expansion joints are set to handle movement. This added space increases function without sacrificing strength or quality.

Resurfacing and Overlay

Surface wear or minor flaws don’t always mean a full tear-out. Contractors apply overlay systems that bond to the existing slab, creating a fresh surface with improved durability and appearance. Resurfacing is well-suited for addressing stains, small cracks, or old patch lines, with finishes that match or update the look of the driveway.

Decorative Concrete Finishes

Stamped patterns, exposed aggregate, or colored concrete can make a driveway stand out. Specialists use forms, surface treatments, or integral colors that complement the property’s design. Decorative finishes provide a custom look and extra value, offering style options for both new installations and resurfaced driveways.

Drainage Solutions

Proper water flow protects driveways from erosion or puddling. Crews shape the slab for pitch, install trench drains or curbing as needed, and make sure runoff is directed away from structures. These details help prevent washouts, ice buildup, or surface cracking over time, keeping entries and parking areas easier to maintain.

Approach and Curb Modifications

Adjusting or rebuilding the approach at street connections or adding curb ramps is sometimes needed for access or safety. Contractors cut, form, and pour new sections to match city requirements and align with driveway grades. Approach work creates a smooth entry for cars, reduces tire wear, and complies with neighborhood codes.

Each driveway project brings different needs and choices. The size of the space, surface layout, and finish style can all be tailored for lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions

We get it, you probably have a lot of questions as you think about upcoming driveway work or how to plan for it overall. With that in mind, we’ve put together a few commonly asked questions and helpful answers to keep you informed.

How thick should a concrete driveway be for regular cars and trucks?

A typical residential driveway slab is poured at four inches for cars, while areas with heavier vehicles may be designed thicker for added strength. The exact thickness depends on soil, expected loads, and how the space gets used.

With added thickness comes added strength and durability, as long as installation methods are executed correctly. Increased strength also means increases upfront costs. However, the added durability means lower costs overall.

What’s the best way to fix cracks or holes in a driveway?

Small cracks and shallow holes are often patched with concrete repair compounds made to bond tightly to the slab. For larger damage or deep settlement, a professional evaluation helps determine if resurfacing or a full replacement is needed.

How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?

Concrete driveways usually allow foot traffic after 24–48 hours but require about a week before supporting vehicles. Full strength is reached in about 28 days, so it’s best to avoid heavy loads during that time.

Can my old driveway be resurfaced instead of replaced?

If the underlying slab is stable but has surface flaws or minor cracks, resurfacing can provide a fresh finish without removing the whole driveway. Extensive cracks, severe settling, or underlying damage may require a new pour.

What types of finishes are available for concrete driveways?

Popular choices include smooth and broom finishes, exposed aggregate, and stamped patterns. The best option depends on your style preferences and how much traction or decorative detail you want.

How is proper drainage ensured for new or replacement driveways?

Driveways are built with a slight slope to direct water away from garages and foundations. In some cases, trench drains or curbing are added to manage runoff and help prevent puddling or erosion.

Is permit approval needed for driveway installation or curb changes?

Many areas require permits or approval for new driveways, major repairs, or any changes to street connections or approaches. Contractors familiar with local codes can explain what’s needed for your specific project.

How should a concrete driveway be maintained?

Simple routine care includes sweeping away debris, cleaning up spills, and sealing the surface every few years. Quick repairs of minor chips or cracks help the driveway last longer and keep it looking good over time.
