Our Concrete Driveway Services

What is a Concrete Driveway?

You can think of a concrete driveway as an investment in your home and land. Concrete is a solid, long-lasting base when compared to asphalt. It will resist ruts and be able to handle the weight of large vehicles. A well-designed and well-constructed concrete driveway will typically last for 30+ years.

Our concrete driveways are engineered specifically for the Boston area and its weather patterns (New England’s freeze-thaw cycles; extreme temperatures). We have developed special concrete mix designs to help provide protection from freeze/thaw damage and to ensure the required strength to support the heavy traffic and usage. All of our installations begin with a solid base construction, sufficient thickness, and strategically placed control joints to allow expansion and contraction of the concrete while preventing excessive cracking and failure.

Concrete Driveway Designs and Ideas

Your driveway should reflect your home’s style. We offer extensive concrete driveway design options to match any architectural aesthetic:

Smooth Classic Troweled Finish: This is a basic finish done using a trowel, which has a very clean and classic look. It will work for just about any type of home. It will also be a very low-maintenance driveway finish.

Exposed Aggregate: An exposed aggregate concrete driveway exposes the natural rocks within the concrete mix. The texture on an exposed aggregate concrete driveway will help improve traction when it rains and will add some visual interest to your driveway.

Stamped Concrete: You can transform your driveway with stamped concrete by creating a pattern that looks like bricks, stone, or even something completely new. With stamped concrete, you’ll get the high-end look of expensive material but at a much lower price.

Our Concrete Driveway Installation Process

We follow a systematic approach to ensure your driveway performs well for decades:

Site Evaluation and Design: Based on the grading of your land, the way water drains off your site, the soil type, and the means of access, together with you, we select a design, finish, and specification that meets your requirements and budget.
Excavation and Foundation Preparation: The foundation is the most important element in determining how well a driveway will perform. We will dig to the right depth; we will install a compacted gravel base; and we will ensure adequate drainage away from structures such as homes, garages, etc.
Setting Forms and Adding Reinforcement: We will establish the form work that sets the size and grade of your driveway. Steel reinforcement (rebar) or fiber additives help control crack formation and add strength to the concrete.
Pouring Concrete and Placing: We will use high-quality mix designs for our driveways that are resistant to freezing/thawing cycles. Our team will work quickly to place and consolidate the concrete before it starts to set.
Finishing and Texture: Our experienced crew will create the desired finish and texture based on your selection. At regular intervals, we will also install control joints to manage the stresses of shrinkage in the concrete.
Curing and Sealing: To develop the concrete’s full strength, we need to cure it properly. We will protect the fresh concrete, and we will apply a sealer to increase its durability and appearance.

Concrete Driveway Installation Cost

Concrete driveway installation cost depends on several factors:

Size and Shape of Your Driveway: The total square footage and complexity of the layout.
Thickness of Your Driveway: Determined by the weight load requirements of the vehicles using it.
Finish Choice: Whether you choose a smooth finish, a textured stamp, or an exposed aggregate finish.
Accessibility of the Site: How easily our equipment and crews can reach the work area.
Removal and Demolition: The labor required to remove and haul away the old surface.
Decorative Colors and Designs: Any custom aesthetic additions like integral colors or borders.

Our estimates will include all the costs for the construction of your driveway. We are committed to transparency in our estimating process so you can clearly see where your money is going. In addition to being a durable driveway with very little maintenance required over time, the upfront investment provides a great long-term value.
