Concrete Driveways

Concrete driveways

A driveway carries more weight than anything else on your property, and it fails from underneath — a bad base shows up as cracks and settling years before the surface wears out. We build driveways on the same compacted-base, reinforced standard as every pour we do.

  • Tear-out and replacement or new — old concrete out and hauled away, or a new drive formed from scratch.
  • Compacted base and reinforcement — every layer compacted before the next goes down, reinforced as required for vehicle loads.
  • Control joints laid out for the slab — so cracking happens in the joints, not across the middle of your driveway.
  • Finished at the borders — dirt and sod placed to the edge once the forms come out.
New broom finish concrete driveway with fresh sod borders in St. Louis

A driveway we replaced — broom finish, control joints laid out, and fresh sod placed along both borders.

Two honest notes: fresh concrete never matches existing aged concrete exactly — new work reads lighter at first and blends over a year or two. And new concrete needs its cure period before heavy use; we will tell you exactly how long to stay off it.
