Concrete Driveways

Concrete Driveways in NYC and Long Island

A concrete driveway can last decades, but only if it’s poured on a solid base with the right thickness, reinforcement, and control joints. Skip any of those and you get the cracked, sunken slabs you see up and down the block.

We break out old slabs, rebuild the base, and pour driveways designed to handle New York freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, and heavy vehicles.

What’s included

New concrete driveways

Excavation, compacted stone base, forms, steel reinforcement, and a finished pour.

Full replacement

We break out and haul away the old slab, fix the base, and pour new concrete.

Section repair

When only part of the driveway has failed, we saw-cut and replace just those sections.

Stamped and colored concrete

Patterns and colors that look like stone, slate, or brick, with the strength of concrete.

Driveway aprons and curb cuts

The section where your driveway meets the sidewalk and the street.

Walkways and patios

Matching concrete paths from the driveway to your front steps or backyard.

Signs it needs work

  • Cracks wide enough to fit a coin, or cracks that grow each year
  • Slabs that have sunk or lifted, leaving a lip at the joints
  • Flaking or pitted surface (spalling), often from salt
  • Water pooling on the driveway or running toward the house
  • Trip hazards at the garage, sidewalk, or apron

One cracked section can usually be replaced on its own. When cracks run across most of the slab, or it has sunk because the base washed out, a full replacement lasts longer and usually costs less over time.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long until I can drive on new concrete?

You can usually walk on it after a day, but wait about 7 days before parking a car on it. Concrete keeps gaining strength for about a month.

Why does concrete crack, and can you prevent it?

All concrete shrinks as it cures. Control joints give it a planned place to crack in a straight line. A good base and proper reinforcement keep cracks from opening up or shifting.

Is stamped concrete slippery?

It can be when wet, especially with a glossy sealer. We can add a non-slip additive to the sealer for driveways and walkways.

Can I use rock salt on my new driveway?

Avoid de-icing salts for the first winter. After that, use a de-icer that’s safe for concrete and avoid products containing ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfate.

Do I need a permit for a driveway?

Work that touches the public sidewalk or curb, such as a new curb cut or apron, generally needs a permit from NYC DOT. We’ll tell you what applies to your job.
