Driveways & flatwork
Concrete driveways, patios & walkways
A proper driveway starts long before the pour. We prep your base so your concrete can handle New England winters.
Base prep
A driveway starts long before the pour
Most of what decides how long a driveway lasts happens before any concrete arrives.
01
Excavate
Remove the old surface and soft soil down to a stable subgrade.
02
Grade & compact
Bring in base material and compact it in lifts.
03
Reinforce
Rebar or mesh, set to sit inside the slab, not under it.
04
Slope
Pitch the surface so water runs off, away from the house.
05
Control joints
Cut where the concrete wants to crack, so it cracks there.
06
Freeze-thaw
A mix and finish chosen for Rhode Island winters.
Flatwork
Patios and walkways
The same base prep, slope and finishing go into patios and walkways: a level surface that sheds water and stays put.
Planning a spring driveway?
We take on two to three jobs a week, and spring fills first. Book your site visit now to get on the calendar.
FAQ
Common questions
Why do concrete driveways crack in Rhode Island?
Usually because of what’s underneath: a thin or soft base, no reinforcement, poor drainage or missing control joints. Freeze-thaw cycles find every weak spot.
Do you remove the old driveway?
We can. Removal, excavation and base prep are part of how we build a new one. We’ll cover it at the site visit.
What time of year do you pour driveways?
Spring through fall, when temperatures suit curing. Spring calendars fill early, so book your site visit ahead.
Do you build patios and walkways too?
Yes. The same base prep and finishing go into patios and walkways.
