Our Concrete Driveway Installation Process
Almost every failed driveway we're asked to replace failed underneath, not on top. That's why we spend as much effort on the base as on the pour itself.
Site assessment and setout — we check levels, access, and where water needs to go before we mark out the driveway.
Excavation — we dig out to the depth the base and slab need, removing soft spots and unsuitable material rather than building over them.
Base course and compaction — hardfill goes in and gets compacted in layers, because a base compacted in one thick lift is not compacted.
Formwork and reinforcing — forms are set to the correct falls and mesh or fibre reinforcement goes in on chairs, not thrown on the ground.
Pour and finish — concrete is placed, screeded, and finished in the texture you have chosen, whether that is broom, exposed aggregate or plain.
Joints and curing — control joints are cut at the right spacing and timing, then we cure the slab properly before it takes any traffic.
