Concrete Driveways

Here is the truth about concrete driveways: how they are installed determines how long they last. If the ground is not properly prepared, if the base is too thin, or if the concrete is not mixed correctly, you will see cracks within a few years.

We have seen too many driveways fail early because someone rushed the job or skipped important steps. That is not how we work. We take the time to do it right because we want your driveway to last 20, 30, even 40 years with minimal maintenance.

What Sets Our Process Apart:

• Thorough site evaluation and proper grading to prevent water pooling
• Compacted gravel base that will not shift or settle over time
• Correctly mixed concrete with the right strength rating for driveways
• Professional finishing techniques for durability and appearance
• Proper curing methods to prevent premature cracking
• Control joints placed strategically to manage natural concrete movement

Not all driveways need to look the same. We offer several options to match your home and budget.

Standard Concrete: Clean, durable, and cost-effective. A well-finished standard concrete driveway looks professional and handles everything you throw at it.

Broom Finish: Adds texture for better traction, especially useful in wet weather. This is our most popular finish for driveways.

Exposed Aggregate: Shows the natural stone within the concrete for a decorative look that also provides excellent traction. Great for homeowners who want something beyond basic gray concrete.

Stamped or Colored Concrete: Want the look of pavers or stone without the maintenance? Stamped concrete gives you endless design options while keeping the durability and low maintenance of concrete.

Not sure which option fits your needs? We will walk through the pros and cons of each during your free consultation.

We know that having construction at your home can feel disruptive. Here is how we make the process as smooth as possible.

Day 1 - Site Prep: We excavate the area, grade it properly for drainage, and compact the soil. This is the foundation of everything that comes next.

Day 2 - Base and Forms: We install a compacted gravel base, set up forms to create clean edges, and double-check all measurements.

Day 3 - Pour and Finish: The concrete arrives, we pour it carefully, and our team finishes it to your chosen texture. This is where experience really shows.

Curing Period: Concrete gains strength as it cures. We will tell you exactly when you can walk on it and when it is safe to drive on. Rushing this step causes problems, so follow our timeline.

The whole process typically takes 3 to 5 days depending on size and weather conditions. We clean up thoroughly when we are done.

Lakewood has its own climate challenges. We get rain, we get freeze-thaw cycles in winter, and we have soil conditions that vary from neighborhood to neighborhood. A contractor from out of the area might not know how to handle these factors.

We have been installing driveways in Lakewood and the surrounding areas for years. We know which concrete mixes work best here. We know how to grade for our rainfall patterns. We know which finishing techniques hold up to our weather. That local knowledge protects your investment.

When you hire us, you are working with people who understand your neighborhood and will be here if you ever need service down the road. We are not a fly-by-night operation. We are your neighbors, and we want you to be happy with your concrete work for years to come.
