Concrete Driveway Installation FAQ's
Having a concrete driveway installed properly can mean the difference between a driveway that will last just a few years to a driveway that will last up to 30 years!
Just like anything, a good driveway starts with a solid foundation!
What type of preparation should be performed before pouring the concrete?
Should a base material be installed or should the concrete be installed on the native soil?
It’s very important to understand the importance of these questions since we only get one chance to have the job done right! Otherwise the long term costs can easily double or triple what they should be especially if the driveway lasts half as long as it should and needs to be removed and replaced with a new one! Not to mention the horrible aesthetics of a driveway that's been repaired and band aided with fixes!
Other important questions that should be asked are: |
|
How thick should a base material be?
How thick should the concrete be?
Should an herbicide be applied to minimize vegetation growth prior to pouring the concrete? What kind? How much?
How much drainage planning should be done prior to installation?
Does the driveway need a dramatic slope or slight slope to make sure the water drains off properly?
How long should it take to install a concrete driveway?
What psi strength concrete mix should be used on a driveway?
Is concrete material recycled, virgin or both?
These are just some of the important things to consider before hiring any contractor to install your driveway! |
