Subgrade The subgrade of a driveway is the bedrock and cornerstone of a long-lasting driveway. From the very beginning of your project, we do it right, and that starts with taking into account all of the factors needed for a structurally sound driveway. The correct soil composition and compaction are the necessary keys to a stable subgrade. Starting the right subgrade helps during the pouring process and ensures an even slab throughout. Having an even thickness of concrete helps protect against the driveway settling and cracking. We go to great lengths to ensure our projects are all started correctly, and that begins with the subgrade being installed right. Reinforcement The next phase in the driveway installation is the installation of reinforcement in the form of steel rebar or wire mesh. This reinforcement will provide additional structural support for your driveway, which is necessary due to the heavy traffic it sees. Proper reinforcement helps protect against cracking and allows for the slab to carry a heavier load than it could handle otherwise. Thickness an Grade Having your concrete driveway poured to the proper depth must be done precisely. Driveway thickness is a significant determining factor in the structural capacity for how much weight it can bear. In some cases, increasing the depth, just one inch from 4-5in leads to an increase of 50% of its load capacity. With the added inch it helps ensure the longevity and durability of your new driveway. Along with the proper thickness, you also need the appropriate grade on your driveway. You don't want rainwater or snowmelt to drain back towards your residence, causing other problems. All of our driveways take into consideration the proper grade to help ensure adequate drainage. Finishing An excellent finish on your concrete driveway requires a skilled hand to perform.
