Why You Should Consider Driveway Replacement

A worn or damaged driveway often shows clear signs such as cracks, crumbling edges, or fading materials. These issues not only diminish the curb appeal of your property but can also lower its value. Replacing your driveway addresses these concerns and restores both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

While DIY projects can be rewarding, driveway replacement is not one to tackle on your own. Temporary fixes like patching often fail to address underlying issues, leading to further damage and added expenses. Professional contractors provide a durable, long-term solution that ensures the job is done right the first time.

Investing in professional driveway replacement may have a higher upfront cost, but it pays off in the long run. A properly installed driveway is built to last, reducing the need for frequent and costly repairs. In contrast, attempting to repair a driveway with foundation issues can lead to repeated failures and higher cumulative costs over time. Choosing a professional replacement is a smarter, more cost-effective choice for protecting your investment.

How Does Our Driveway Replacement Work?

The first step in repairing or replacing a concrete driveway is identifying the root cause of the damage. Our experienced team conducts a thorough inspection of the property, foundation, and driveway placement to pinpoint the underlying issue. Once identified, we begin by removing the old concrete slab with heavy equipment and clearing all debris from the site.

Next, we collaborate with the homeowner to develop a customized plan designed to prevent future problems and meet their specific needs. This includes mapping out the placement and tailoring the design to align with their preferences. The construction process starts by creating a uniform, compacted subgrade that provides a stable foundation for the new concrete slab.

To ensure durability, we reinforce the joints with steel bars, enabling the driveway to support heavy loads without cracking. The concrete is then expertly poured, leveled, and finished with a texture that matches the homeowner’s desired look. Finally, the driveway is cured and sealed to maximize its lifespan and maintain its integrity for years to come.

Here Are Some Questions To Ask Yourself Before Deciding On A Driveway Replacement

Is a new sub-base required under my driveway? – We will install a base up to 6 inches as needed at no additional cost, it is included in the price.
What happens to my current driveway? – To remove your existing asphalt or concrete driveway, we use a skid loader or track loader to remove the driveway and put the debris in dump trucks. Sometimes a jackhammer is needed to start work on a concrete driveway. The old material is then taken to a recycling center for further use.
Is it possible to just put a new layer of asphalt over the old one? – In some cases, an overlay over existing asphalt can be done, but keep in mind that anywhere there are cracks or the asphalt is broken, the cracks will reappear through the new layer. This is called reflective cracking. In most cases, it is highly recommended to install fresh, new paving.
Are there any additional costs not included in the driveway cost estimate? – A reputable company like TKB Concrete And Retaining Walls will provide an accurate estimate for your project and you should not expect any major changes in the total cost. However, not all contractors are accurate in their estimates and some may not include all costs in their initial estimates. TKB Concrete And Retaining Walls is diligent in including all factors in their original estimate. If any unforeseen conditions are discovered after work begins or if you make changes after the pricing estimate is made, adjustments may be necessary, but we will discuss them with you immediately. In most cases, our initial estimate will be the final cost for your driveway. We don’t want any surprises either.

What To Anticipate When Planning A Driveway Replacement

Planning a concrete driveway replacement involves careful consideration of the time and process required. Typically, the project takes several days to complete, plus additional time for the concrete to cure fully. Depending on the scope of the work, the timeline may vary. After the concrete is poured, it’s essential to avoid walking or driving on the surface for at least two weeks to allow for proper curing. We will work closely with you to schedule a pour date that aligns with your needs.

Step 1: Removing the Old Driveway
The process begins with the removal of the existing driveway. Using skid steers, jackhammers, and manual labor, we break the old driveway into smaller pieces, which are then loaded into dump trucks and transported to a recycling facility.

Step 2: Preparing the Subgrade
A properly prepared subgrade is critical for a durable and stable driveway. The subgrade, made of compacted aggregate materials, provides the foundation that supports the pavement. If the old driveway’s foundation is in good condition, it may be reused after grading and compacting. Otherwise, we remove unsuitable materials and replace them with new aggregate. Proper grading and compaction also ensure adequate drainage to prevent future issues.

Step 3: Installing Forms and Reinforcement
Once the subgrade is ready, forms are placed around the edges of the driveway to define its shape. A grid of reinforcing steel is then installed to provide tensile strength to the concrete. Final measurements are taken to determine the exact amount of concrete needed for the project.

Step 4: Pouring the Concrete
On the scheduled paving day, concrete is delivered with a mix specifically designed for strength and durability. Additives are included to enhance performance, and our suppliers work closely with us to ensure the mix is ideal for your project.

The concrete is poured into the forms, starting near the garage and working toward the street. Depending on the site, various methods, such as pumping, may be used to place the concrete. As the concrete is poured, our team carefully levels it, a process known as “screeding.”

Step 5: Finishing the Surface
Immediately after pouring, the concrete is finished to achieve a smooth, even surface. Using a combination of power and hand tools, we trowel the edges, create control joints for strength, and apply a broom finish for slip resistance.

Step 6: Curing the Concrete
A curing compound is applied to the concrete surface to slow water loss, which is essential for long-term strength and durability. While the concrete begins to harden quickly, it requires 7–10 days to cure properly. During this time, we recommend keeping people and animals off the surface to avoid permanent marks.

By following this thorough process, we ensure that your new driveway is built to last, offering durability, functionality, and enhanced curb appeal for years to come.
