Our Driveway Installation Process

Professional installation following industry best practices

Step 1

Site Assessment & Design

We visit your property to evaluate soil conditions, drainage, slope, and access. We'll discuss your design preferences, usage needs, and budget to create a custom solution.

Step 2

Excavation & Preparation

We remove existing materials, excavate to the proper depth, and ensure proper grading for drainage. The subgrade is compacted to provide a stable foundation.

Step 3

Base Installation

A compacted gravel base is installed to provide drainage and prevent settling. This critical step ensures your driveway's long-term stability.

Step 4

Formwork & Reinforcement

Forms are set to the exact dimensions. Steel rebar or wire mesh reinforcement is positioned to add strength and prevent cracking.

Step 5

Concrete Pouring

High-quality concrete is poured and spread evenly. We use the proper mix design for Houston's climate and your specific needs.

Step 6

Finishing & Curing

The concrete is finished to your specifications, control joints are cut, and proper curing methods are applied for maximum strength and durability.

Concrete Driveway FAQ

Common questions about concrete driveways in Houston

A properly installed and maintained concrete driveway in Houston typically lasts 25-30 years or longer. Factors that affect lifespan include proper installation, quality of materials, drainage, soil conditions, usage, and regular maintenance like sealing every 2-3 years.

For residential driveways, we typically recommend 4 inches of concrete thickness. For driveways that will support heavier vehicles like RVs or delivery trucks, we recommend 5-6 inches. The thickness also depends on the base preparation and soil conditions.

You should wait at least 7 days before driving on a new concrete driveway. While concrete reaches about 70% of its strength in 7 days, it continues to cure and strengthen for up to 28 days. We recommend avoiding heavy vehicles during the first month.

Some minor cracking is normal in concrete due to shrinkage and temperature changes. That's why we install control joints – strategic grooves that guide where cracks will form. With proper installation, base preparation, and reinforcement, we minimize cracking. Any cracks that do develop are typically hairline and don't affect structural integrity.

For Houston's hot climate, concrete is generally superior to asphalt. Concrete lasts longer (25-30 years vs 15-20), requires less maintenance, doesn't soften in extreme heat, and provides better curb appeal. While asphalt has lower upfront costs, concrete offers better long-term value and performance in our climate.

While not absolutely required, sealing your concrete driveway is highly recommended. Sealing protects against moisture penetration, stains from oil/chemicals, UV damage, and extends the life of your driveway. We recommend sealing after initial curing (28 days), then resealing every 2-3 years for optimal protection.
