Our Services

A new concrete driveway in Berkeley, Illinois starts with tearing out any cracked, sinking slabs that are already causing trouble. We clear the area down to solid soil, then lay a compacted gravel base that prevents future settling and gives the driveway a stable foundation. A proper slope—about a 1-2% grade—ensures water runs off instead of pooling on the surface. We install rebar or wire mesh within the pour to keep the slab from cracking under traffic and temperature changes. After the concrete is placed, we keep it moist for at least 7 days, allowing it to cure strong enough for everyday use. Call (888) 405-6638 for a straightforward, no-nonsense estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions

We can usually start within a week of signing a contract, weather permitting. First we clear the site and set up proper drainage slope. Then we lay compacted base and install forms and rebar. After the concrete is poured we finish and begin curing. We’ll keep you posted on the schedule from day one.

A new driveway includes site prep, a compacted crushed stone base, and a 4-inch thick concrete slab. We use wooden or metal forms to hold the shape and add #3 rebar for reinforcement. The surface is troweled smooth and may get a broom finish for slip resistance. Proper slope is built in to move water away from the house. We also apply a curing seal to protect it while it hardens.

Pricing is based on square footage, thickness, and any site challenges like grading. We charge a base rate per square foot for the slab and add costs for excavation, base material, and reinforcement. Extra fees apply for moving utilities or adding decorative edging. We give a flat quote after a walk-through so there are no surprise charges. Call (888) 405-6638 for a precise estimate.

A typical residential driveway takes about two to three days to finish. Day one is site prep and installing forms and rebar. Day two is the concrete pour and finishing work. Day three is curing and cleanup. Weather can add a day or two, but we aim to keep it short.

Our goal is a durable driveway that lasts for decades.
