Base and forms
The base is compacted before the forms go in, and the forms set the driveway's edges and slope. That groundwork is what keeps the slab from settling unevenly later.

Concrete is poured once and lives with whatever went under it. A good pour on a weak base still cracks and settles. So most of the work on a concrete driveway happens before the truck shows up, and the base gets as much attention as the finish.
If there's an old driveway, it comes out. The ground is shaped, a compacted base goes down, forms are set along the edges, and rebar is placed inside them. Where the driveway meets the garage slab, the forms are set to the right height so there's no step at the door. Thickness is spec'd for what you park on it, whether that's two cars or a work truck with a trailer.
On pour day, the crew places and levels the concrete, cuts control joints so cracking has a planned place to go, and finishes the surface with a clean broom texture. Our own employees do all of it. We don't sub out concrete work. Then the slab is left to cure, and you get the dates to plan around before the crew leaves.

Rebar ties the slab together. Control joints are cut so that when concrete shrinks and cracks, it cracks along a straight line instead of across the middle of the drive.
Concrete work
Every driveway gets a clean broom finish. The light texture gives tires and shoes grip, including on the slope up to a garage or carport.
PavePro in BrandonWe pour concrete and pave asphalt, so we have no reason to push you toward one. The right pick depends on your budget, how long the drive is, and how soon you need it back. We'll lay out the tradeoffs and let you decide.
Concrete costs more up front than asphalt. In return, it lasts 30 years or more. You can walk on it after 24 hours and drive on it after about 7 days, and it reaches full cure at 28 days. The tradeoff is the wait: plan on a week of parking somewhere else.
Asphalt usually costs less up front, and that difference grows on a long drive. Cars can use it after about 24 hours, and it lasts 20 to 30 years with sealcoating every 1 to 2 years. If you're torn between the two, ask us to quote both. On a long drive in particular, it helps to see both side by side. Either way, our own crews do the work.
Concrete costs more up front than asphalt. On a long drive, asphalt usually wins on first cost, and concrete wins on how many years it lasts.
Concrete driveways
You can walk on concrete at 24 hours and drive on it at about 7 days. An asphalt driveway takes cars after about 24 hours.
Asphalt driveways in Brandon
Concrete lasts 30 years or more. Asphalt lasts 20 to 30 years when it is sealcoated every 1 to 2 years and cracks are filled as they open.
Sealcoating in BrandonConcrete hardens in stages, and the driveway is usable long before it's fully cured. Knowing the dates helps you plan around the garage and the cars. Each stage opens up a little more use.
Stay off it completely for the first 24 hours. After that, walking on it is fine. Cars wait about 7 days, so plan where you'll park that week, especially if the only way into the garage is over the new slab. If you'll need a car that week, move it out of the garage before pour day. Anything heavier than a car, like a loaded truck, is best kept off until full cure.
The concrete keeps gaining strength until it reaches full cure at 28 days. After that, it's ready for whatever it was spec'd to carry. A hairline crack along a control joint is the joint doing its job. Built on a compacted base with rebar and cut joints, a concrete driveway lasts 30 years or more.
Keep people, pets, and cars off the fresh concrete. After 24 hours, you can walk on it.
Cars can drive on it. Until then, park somewhere else and keep the garage clear of anything you'll need.
Full cure. The driveway can carry everything it was spec'd for, from the family car to a heavier truck.
