"A great team of people to work with on getting my driveway done. From handling the permitting process, removing the old driveway, framing and pouring the new driveway to managing the city’s inspection, Brogan did a great job. My new driveway looks great and I got it for a fair price. Highly recommend!"
"Excellent service, workmanship, and communication from this family-run company. Dad and two sons clearly take pride in what they do. I had previously been told by another contractor that I needed to get a permit (yes, that "I" needed, not he--a liability for me!) which would have added significantly to the cost because I would have had to also buy a survey first. Concrete Solutions called the city on speaker phone with me present and determined that a permit was NOT needed because we were not changing the scope of the driveway, simply replacing what was already there. I am so glad I went with these guys---the work was done beautifully and in a timely fashion for a fair price."
"Our new back yard is Spectacular! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Sam and the crew from New Way Pavers! The service and quality are amazing! And like every great home improvement we wish we had found them a long time ago. No hassles, great choice, excellent communication. Looking forward to relaxing times in this lovely spot they made. Our deepest thanks to New Way. Carrie and Michael Jones"
"Their crew came in and replaced the parts of my concrete driveway that needed to be replaced, which was a lot, and did a great job. They didn't harm the grass on either side of it and was in and out in 3 days. Their crew was polite and did a wonderful job. I couldn't have asked for more. And the price was great."
"I hired Fabian and his team to fill in our swimming pool and install a new deck and retention wall. After seeing the amazing results with the first project, I asked him to do the driveway as well and it looks fantastic. He and his team were incredibly reliable which was the most important factor that I considered. He finished the job within the specified time frame, and made sure everything was to my liking. I am 100% satisfied and highly recommend this professional company!"
"They did such a beautiful job, and I have had so many neighbors complimented on how nice everything looks. I am very happy with the way it all turned out ."
"Great job! Discussed all aspect of the job and made sure we were on board with everything done. Quality work! Have already recommended to a business owner who needs her driveway redone. Joe is fair and got the job done in a timely manner. Would highly recommend!!"
"Luis and his team did a wonderful job expanding our driveway and front porch, matching the color, and replacing an old broken concrete path around the side of the house with a wider one of pavers. Everything was done with care and we are delighted with the result."
By grading and compacting the base soil, ensuring proper drainage and stability.
While the specific timeline for building a driveway can vary based on driveway length and local weather conditions, the average concrete driveway can require several days to lay down all of the different parts of the driveway. The curing process may require you to avoid using your driveway for a week following construction. Heavier vehicles should be kept off of a new concrete driveway for several weeks. Building a gravel driveway may take just one to two days in total.
While paving a driveway is possible to do as a DIY project, we don’t recommend it. Hiring a driveway professional to pave it will ensure that your driveway looks neat and clean and lasts for years to come, and it will also prevent a weak driveway and, potentially, damage to your foundation. Paving a driveway requires heavy machinery, and while you can rent the equipment needed, operating it close to your garage slab or around your home’s foundation can crack it and lead to structural issues.
Driveway aprons typically range between four and seven inches thick, though your town's building codes will likely have specific requirements. Additionally, you may need to add a layer of permeable aggregate in the excavation below your paved apron to ensure proper stormwater drainage.
A driveway approach is the part of a driveway where the public road meets the private driveway. This section contains several key elements, including the driveway apron, the curb cut, and the end slope. Depending on the slope of the driveway, this area may also contain the trench drain.
