WHAT GOES INTO A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY
The part you never see carries the cars.
A driveway takes more load than any other surface on the property. Most driveway problems start under the slab, not in it, so the work starts with the ground.
We break out the old driveway, haul it away and check what is underneath. Soft or uneven soil comes out and gets replaced with compacted base before any forms go down.
Then we form the new driveway, set the slope so rain runs to the street and away from the garage door, pour, and finish the surface.
JOINTS AND EDGES
Concrete cracks. Joints decide where.
Concrete shrinks as it cures and moves with temperature. Control joints give it a planned place to crack, in straight lines you barely notice.
We lay out the joints before the pour, including where the driveway meets the garage slab, the sidewalk and the front walk.
DRIVEWAY PROJECTS
Four common driveway jobs.
Widening
Extra width for a second car or side parking, joined to the slab you keep.
Driveway and front walk
A walk poured with the driveway so the two meet without a lip.
Driveway and patio together
Front and back planned as one project, so finishes and joints match.
FINISH
Grip first, then looks.
A driveway gets wet, and tires and shoes need grip. Pick a finish with some texture, then decide how it should look beside the house.
Bring photos of driveways you like. We talk through finish, maintenance and how the new concrete will sit next to any paving you are keeping.
CONCRETE OR PAVERS
Not sure concrete is the right call?
Concrete is one slab. Pavers are individual units on a compacted base, and single pavers can be lifted and replaced. We install both, so you get a straight comparison for your driveway.
Ask for both options in your estimate if you are deciding.
BEFORE WE POUR
Photograph, choose, confirm.
Three steps between your first call and a clear scope and price.
Photograph the driveway
Snap the full driveway, the garage threshold, the sidewalk edge and any spot where water sits after rain.
Choose the finish
Bring photos of finishes you like, then agree on where the joints fall and how the concrete meets the garage, walk and street.
Confirm the full scope
Check that the estimate covers removal, base prep, forming, pouring, finish and cleanup. Ask about warranty coverage before work starts.
Before you begin.
Yes. We build residential concrete driveways across Orange County, along with concrete patios, pool decks and walkways.
Size, removal and base work drive most of the price. Breaking out and hauling an old driveway, or replacing soft soil with compacted base, adds cost. Finish and access for trucks and equipment matter too. Estimates are free.
Yes. Our concrete projects start at $5,000.
OCIP’s published terms cover concrete cracks wider than one eighth of an inch. Hairline cracks are common in concrete and are excluded. Read the full terms on the warranty page and confirm how they apply in your written agreement.
Both work. Concrete is a single poured slab. Pavers are individual units that can be lifted and replaced one at a time. We install both and can price each for your driveway.
