A new concrete driveway in Washington, Illinois starts with tearing out any cracked slabs and cleaning the area down to solid ground. We then spread a crushed-stone base, compact it tightly, and level it to keep the surface from settling later on. A proper slope of about 1-2 percent is cut into the base so rainwater runs off and doesn’t pool on the driveway. Steel rebar or mesh is laid in a grid pattern before the concrete to stop cracking under weight and temperature changes. We pour a slab at least 4-inches thick for a typical two-car driveway, smoothing it out and adding a broom finish for grip. After the pour, the concrete is kept damp and covered for a minimum of seven days to cure properly and reach full strength. Call (888) 405-6638 for a free on-site estimate.
