Popular Driveway Options
Broom Finish
A clean, traditional concrete finish created by brushing the surface for texture and traction. It’s durable, cost-effective, and ideal for most residential driveways. A color can also be added to match your home as well.
Expose Aggregate
A decorative surface where the top layer of concrete is washed away to reveal natural pea gravel texture.
Stamped Concrete
Concrete that’s patterned, textured, and colored to mimic stone, brick, slate, or pavers. You get the appearance of premium materials with the strength and longevity of concrete.
Custom Borders & Edging
A design upgrade that frames your concrete driveway with a contrasting finish or stamp pattern. It gives a finished, tailored look without the cost of full decorative concrete.
Driveway Extensions & Replacements
Whether you need more parking space or your old concrete driveway is failing, we can remove what’s there, extend the surface, and tie everything together seamlessly for a uniform finish.
Our Driveway Construction Process
Site Evaluation & Preparation
We begin by reviewing your property, verifying drainage needs, and removing the old concrete if necessary.
Forming & Framing
Every detail counts, we set precise forms for straight edges and drainage, proper slope, and long-term durability.
Reinforcement & Pouring
We use high-strength 4,000 PSI concrete and use steel rebar reinforcement for a driveway that stands the test of time.
Finishing & Curing
Whether broomed, stamped, or exposed aggregate, the final finish is applied with care. Then we allow the concrete to properly cure for long-lasting strength.
FAQs About Concrete Driveways
-
According to the American Concrete Institute, “it’s not a matter of if concrete will crack, but a matter of when and where concrete will crack”. We install rebar reinforcement and provide expansion joints to help control cracking and prolong the life of your driveway.
-
The best way is to park in different spots during snow and ice events so the deicing products on the highway that gets on your car don't melt on the concrete in the same spot every time. Avoid using harsh de-icing chemicals, and reseal your surface every few years.
-
Yes. We remove the old concrete driveway and replace it with a modern, long-lasting one. We handle everything from demolition to clean-up.
