How we do it

What moves the price

Paving in Canton

Building the base for a Canton concrete driveway

A concrete driveway is heavy and stiff. That is what lets it last 30 years or more, and it is also why the ground under it matters so much. If the base settles, the slab cracks. So the first part of the job is the part you never see once the concrete is in.

If there is an old driveway, it comes out first. The crew digs out soft spots, brings in base material, and compacts it firm and level. Then the forms go up along the edges, set to the height and slope that carry water away from the house and the garage.

Last comes the steel. Rebar is set inside the forms to tie the slab together once the concrete is poured around it. The thickness is spec'd for what you park on it, whether that is the family car or a work truck with a trailer. We go over all of this with you on site before we write the quote, so you know what the slab will be built for.

Old driveway out

If an old driveway is there, we break it out and haul it off. The new slab starts on clean, compacted ground, not on top of the old one.

Forms set

Wood forms go up along every edge. They hold the concrete in shape and set the slope that moves water off the driveway.

Rebar in place

Steel goes in before any concrete arrives. Rebar ties the slab together so it can carry the weight you park on it for years.

Pouring and finishing a concrete driveway in Canton

Pour day moves fast. Concrete starts to set soon after it leaves the truck, so the whole crew is on site and ready before the first load. The concrete truck arrives and the concrete goes into the forms, by chute or by pump depending on how close the truck can get. The crew spreads it out with rakes and shovels while it is still workable.

Then they level it and float the surface smooth. The edges along the forms and the garage are finished by hand. Once the surface firms up, a broom is pulled across it for a clean broom finish that gives tires and shoes some grip when it is wet.

Cut joints come next. These control joints give the slab a place to crack on purpose, so any cracking follows the joint in a straight line instead of running across the middle of the driveway. The same crew handles every step of the pour. Our own employees do the concrete work, and we don't hand it off to anyone else.

Into the forms

When the truck can't pull up close, it pumps the concrete into the forms. The crew keeps it moving so the whole slab goes in fresh.

Spread and leveled

Crew members rake the concrete into every corner of the form, then level it so the slab is even from the garage to the street.

Floated and broomed

The surface is floated smooth, then broomed for traction. Control joints are cut across the slab so any cracks follow a straight, planned line.

Our concrete work

When you can use your new Canton concrete driveway

Concrete keeps getting stronger for weeks after the pour. You can walk on it after 24 hours. Cars wait about 7 days. It reaches full cure at 28 days, and from then on it is ready for the heaviest loads you will put on it.

Plan ahead for that first week. If the driveway is your only way in and out of the garage, park on the street or somewhere else on the property until it is ready. We go over the timing with you before the pour, so it doesn't catch you by surprise. Keep lawn equipment and trailers off the edges too, since the slab is still gaining strength.

Concrete costs more up front than asphalt, and with a solid base under it, it lasts 30 years or more. There is no sealcoat schedule to keep up with. Keep the joints clear and rinse off oil spills when they happen. If you are weighing the two, we can quote both, and the asphalt driveway page covers the other side.

The cure timeline

  1. 01

    Walk on it

    After 24 hours, foot traffic is fine. Keep cars, bikes, and anything else with wheels off the slab.

  2. 02

    Drive on it

    After about 7 days, cars can use the driveway. Hold off on heavy trucks a while longer.

  3. 03

    Full cure

    At 28 days the concrete reaches full cure and is ready for everything you park on it.

§ 04 · FAQ

Straight answers on Concrete Driveways.

Q · 01 When can I park in the garage again after a Canton concrete pour?
+

Cars can drive on the new driveway after about 7 days. You can walk on it after 24 hours.

Q · 02 Who pours the concrete?
+

Our own employees do. We don't sub out concrete work, so the company that quotes the job is the one that forms, pours, and finishes it.

Q · 03 What kind of finish do you put on a driveway?
+

A clean broom finish. It gives tires and shoes grip, especially when the driveway is wet.

Q · 04 Why does a concrete driveway have lines cut in it?
+

Those are control joints. They give the slab a planned place to crack, so any cracking stays in a straight line in the joint instead of running across the driveway.

Q · 05 Do I need to be home on pour day?
+

No, as long as the driveway is clear and the crew can get the concrete truck close. Pour day only needs a clear path for the truck and the crew.

Q · 06 Can you pour a parking pad next to the driveway?
+

Yes. A pad beside the driveway gets the same compacted base, rebar, and broom finish as the driveway itself.

Q · 07 How soon can you pour my Canton driveway?
+

Most jobs are scheduled within 2 to 3 weeks of the deposit. Concrete needs a dry day for the pour, so weather can move the date.

Q · 08 How thick should a concrete driveway be?
+

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.

Q · 09 How long will a concrete driveway last?
+

A properly installed concrete driveway in Mississippi lasts 30+ years with very little maintenance.

Q · 10 Is a concrete driveway more expensive than asphalt?
+

Yes, concrete costs more up front. It makes up some of that with very little upkeep, while asphalt needs sealcoating every 1 to 2 years. We can quote both so you can compare.

Q · 11 Do you remove my old driveway?
+

Yes. We break out the old concrete or asphalt, haul it away, and regrade before we pour the new driveway.
