Custom concrete, paver, stamped and decorative driveways with a deep base, steel, drainage and borders that match the home.
A driveway is the largest hard surface most homes have, and it sets the first impression. A custom driveway can use pavers, stamped or exposed aggregate concrete, brick borders or stone aprons to match the house. Underneath, a deep compacted base, steel and drainage determine whether it stays flat for decades or heaves and cracks in the first few winters.
Your designer measures, checks slopes, existing utilities and drainage, and plans width, curves, parking and turning space. The crew removes the old surface if needed, excavates, builds a thick compacted stone base and places forms, steel and the chosen surface. Edges, aprons, borders and joints are detailed, and a drainage plan keeps water off the garage and the street. The scope lists thickness, base depth and finish.
Driveways carry heavy loads, so a deeper compacted stone base and good drainage are the foundation of a long life.
Poured concrete is smooth and economical, and pavers are flexible and repairable. We compare them for your site.
Brick, stone or paver borders and a street apron frame the drive and strengthen the edges.
Slopes, drains and grading send water away from the garage, the house and the neighbor.
