Our concrete driveway installation process
We follow a meticulous process to ensure your driveway is installed correctly the first time—built to handle the demands of Charleston's climate and soil conditions.
1
Site Evaluation and Preparation
- •We begin by assessing slope, drainage, and soil stability
- •Existing materials are removed and the area is excavated to the proper depth
- •The subgrade is compacted and leveled for a strong foundation
2
Base Installation
- •A gravel or crushed stone base (typically 4–6 inches) is installed and compacted
- •This layer promotes proper drainage and adds load-bearing strength
3
Rebar and Reinforcement
- •Steel rebar or wire mesh is installed throughout the form to reinforce the slab
- •This helps prevent cracking and improves long-term performance
4
Concrete Pour and Finishing
- •We pour high-strength concrete to the required thickness (usually 4–6 inches)
- •The surface is finished using a broom texture for slip resistance, or customized as desired
5
Saw Cuts and Expansion Joints
- •Control joints are strategically saw-cut to manage cracking
- •Expansion joints allow for temperature-related movement
6
Curing and Sealing
- •The pavement is properly cured to prevent surface defects
- •We apply a quality sealer to protect against moisture and stains
