Concrete Driveways
Your driveway is more than just a place to park. It's the first thing people see when they visit your home.
Why Choose Concrete for Your Driveway
When you need a new driveway, concrete is one of the best choices you can make. Unlike asphalt that needs sealing every few years or gravel that shifts and spreads, a properly installed concrete driveway can last 30 years or more with minimal maintenance. Here in Chico, where summers get hot and winters bring occasional rain, concrete holds up better than most other materials.
We pour driveways that handle the weather, daily vehicle traffic, and everything else life throws at them. The key is doing it right from the start. That means proper ground prep, the right thickness for your needs, quality concrete mix, and techniques that prevent cracking down the road.
Concrete driveways offer several advantages:
- •Lasts 30 to 40 years with proper installation and basic care
- •Handles California heat without softening or developing ruts
- •Low maintenance compared to asphalt or gravel surfaces
- •Adds curb appeal and increases your property value
- •Can be stamped or colored for a custom decorative look
Our Driveway Installation Process
Installing a driveway isn't just about pouring concrete and walking away. The work that happens before the pour is just as important as the concrete itself. We start by removing the old surface if needed, then grade and compact the soil to create a stable base. Next, we install a gravel base layer that provides drainage and prevents settling.
We use proper forms to ensure your driveway has clean edges and the right slope for water runoff. Control joints are placed strategically to manage where cracks form (because concrete will crack, and joints control where that happens). The thickness matters too. Most residential driveways need at least 4 inches of concrete, but we'll recommend 5 or 6 inches if you park heavy vehicles or RVs.
After pouring, we finish the surface with the texture you want, whether that's a simple broom finish for traction or a stamped pattern for style. Then comes the crucial part: proper curing. We make sure your new driveway cures correctly so it develops full strength. This takes several days, and we'll tell you exactly when you can start using it.
