Most concrete driveway work is a replacement. The old driveway, asphalt or concrete, has cracked, settled, or broken at the edges, and the owner wants something that lasts 30 years or more. That starts with taking the old one out, whether it was asphalt or concrete.
Our crew tears out the old surface and hauls it off, then checks the ground under it. Soft spots are dug out, and the base is compacted before the forms go up. Rebar goes in next, so the slab holds together if the ground under it moves. The concrete is poured, struck off, and given a clean broom finish.
Control joints are cut into the slab so that when concrete cracks, as concrete does, it cracks along those lines instead of across the middle. Thickness is spec'd for what you park on it, so a driveway that holds a work truck or a trailer is built for that load, not for a sedan. The joints are cut on every driveway we pour.

Rebar runs through the slab to tie it together. Thickness is spec'd for what you park on it, from a sedan to a work truck.

Control joints are cut so cracks follow straight lines, and the surface gets a clean broom finish that shoes and tires can grip.
PavePro in ByramWhen a driveway has to be replaced, the material question comes up. We pour concrete and pave asphalt with our own employees, so we have no reason to steer you toward one. The right answer depends on budget, how long you plan to stay, and what you park on it. Both are built on a compacted base.
Concrete costs more up front than asphalt and lasts 30 years or more. You can walk on it at 24 hours and drive on it at about 7 days, and it reaches full cure at 28 days. Asphalt usually costs less up front, takes cars after about 24 hours, and lasts 20 to 30 years with crack filling and sealcoating every 1 to 2 years.
Some owners mix the two, like an asphalt driveway with a concrete parking pad beside the garage. If you want both priced, ask, and the written quote lists each one as its own line item with its own scope, so you can compare them side by side.
Concrete costs more up front than asphalt. If budget is the main limit, ask for an asphalt driveway priced on the same quote so you can compare.

Concrete drivewaysWe come out by appointment to measure the driveway, check the grade, and see what has to come out. Concrete prices are not given over the phone. The written quote is free, often goes out the same day, and lists each service as its own line item with its own scope.
Once the quote is approved and the deposit is paid, most jobs are scheduled within 2 to 3 weeks. Plan to park somewhere else for about a week after the pour, since cars stay off the new slab until about day 7. Foot traffic is fine after 24 hours, so you can still walk to the door.
If part of an old driveway is still sound, we say so. Sometimes the better plan is replacing the broken section now and leaving the rest, and sometimes the whole driveway has to go. Either way, you hear which one it is, and why, before you decide. Shared driveways get one quote both owners can read.

It depends on how you will use it. We spec the thickness and rebar per job, and heavier vehicles like trucks or RVs get a thicker pour.
All concrete can crack over time, especially over Mississippi's clay soils that move with moisture. We control it with a compacted base, rebar, and cut joints so any cracking stays hairline and controlled.
