Your driveway takes a beating every day: cars, delivery trucks, summer heat and the occasional winter freeze. When it is poured on a weak base or without proper joints, it cracks and settles within a few years. We pour driveways that are built from the ground up to handle Triangle weather and the weight of everyday use.
Whether you are finishing a new build, widening a narrow drive, or tearing out an old one that has heaved and split, we handle the whole job. That includes the garage slab and the apron where the drive meets the street, so the whole surface looks like one clean pour.
What's included
- Removal and haul-off of old asphalt, gravel or broken concrete
- Grading and a compacted stone base sized for vehicle traffic
- Steel reinforcement where the slab needs it
- Garage floor slabs and street aprons
- Control joints cut to keep cracking where it belongs
- Broom finish for grip, or a smooth finish inside the garage
Our process
- 1We measure the drive, check slope and drainage, and give you a written estimate.
- 2We remove the old surface, set the grade and compact the base.
- 3Forms and reinforcement go in, then we pour, finish and cut joints the same day.
- 4We clean up, walk the job with you and tell you when it is safe to drive on.
Materials and finish
Driveways get a thicker slab than a sidewalk, and the mix is ordered for strength in outdoor conditions. A broom finish gives tires and shoes something to grip on wet mornings. Inside a garage, a smooth trowel finish is easier to sweep and seal.
Most driveways can take foot traffic in a day or two and car traffic after about a week. We will give you exact timing based on the weather on pour day.
Questions about driveways & garages
Can you pour over my old driveway?
We usually recommend tearing it out. Pouring over cracked or settled concrete tends to copy the same cracks into the new surface.
Do you pour the garage floor at the same time?
We can. Pouring the garage slab and driveway together keeps the levels and finish consistent.
How wide should a two-car driveway be?
Most two-car drives in the area are 18 to 24 feet wide. We will look at your lot and garage door width and suggest what fits.
