Driveway slope matters as much as thickness. We pitch the concrete driveway so water runs away from the house, garage and foundation. We pay attention to how water will move at the street, along sidewalks and near landscaping. This helps prevent standing water and ice that can cause trouble in cold weather.

Control joints help manage cracking. Concrete moves as it cures and with temperature changes. We cut or tool joints in a pattern that fits the driveway layout. These joints guide cracks into straight lines and reduce random breaks across the surface. We also plan where expansion joints are needed at garage doors, entries or other fixed points.
