A driveway carries cars every day for decades, so most of what matters is below the surface: the grade under it, the way water leaves it and how thick the slab is where the tires roll.
JK General Contractor pours new concrete driveways and full replacements. Our own crew does the grading and the base preparation, and the concrete comes from Capitol Concrete, our sister company. Driveways are thickened and reinforced to carry daily vehicle traffic.
What the Job Includes
- Taking out the old driveway when it is a replacement
- Grading and base preparation before the pour
- A slab thickened and reinforced for cars and trucks
- Control joints, so cracks follow a straight line
- A broom finish or stamped concrete
- Cleanup and a walkthrough of the finished driveway
Broom finish or stamped concrete?
A broom finish is the standard surface: textured, economical and grippy underfoot in wet weather. Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern so one continuous slab reads as stone, brick or slate. We bring examples of both to the estimate.
Why does it matter who supplies the concrete?
Because a pour is planned around the day the base is ready. Most contractors order concrete and wait for a delivery slot. Capitol Concrete is our own company, a volumetric concrete company with its own mixer trucks, so the concrete arrives when our crew is ready for it.
A Driveway, Start to Finish
- Site visit and estimate. We look at the grade, the drainage, the access and the soil, then give you a written price.
- Permit and HOA. We check the county and HOA rules and file what the job needs.
- Removal and base. We take out the old driveway if there is one, then grade and prepare the base.
- Pour and finish. Concrete from Capitol Concrete is placed, finished broom or stamped, and the control joints are cut.
- Cleanup and walkthrough. We clean the site and walk the finished driveway with you.
Matching Walks and Patios
A new driveway is a good time to replace the front walk that meets it, or to plan the patio out back on the same visit.
