Does Your Driveway Need Repair or Replacement?
Minor surface spalling or fine hairline cracks can sometimes be patched or sealed. However, when the underlying base settles or frost heave creates severe offset slabs, full tear-out and repouring is the most reliable long-term solution.
Wide or Deep Cracks
Cracks wider than a quarter inch or slabs shifting vertically signal base failure beneath the surface. Patching over shifting slabs rarely lasts through an Aurora winter.
Sunken Slabs & Water Pooling
When low spots direct water toward garage doors or house foundations, regrading and placing a freshly sloped concrete slab protects your home structure.
Repeated Patch Failure
If previous patch repairs keep flaking off or breaking apart each spring, the existing concrete has lost structural integrity and needs full replacement.
Severe Scaling & Flaking
Winter chemical deicers and freeze-thaw expansion cause top-layer pitting. Extensive aggregate exposure weakens the top slab surface.
Crumbled Edges
Broken driveway edges along lawns or sidewalk gutters allow water to run underneath, eroding subgrade soil and accelerating slab cracking under heavy tires.
Need More Parking Width
Adding extra vehicles, trucks, or trailers often prompts homeowners to combine old driveway replacement with a wider parking extension pad.

Demolition & Removal Services
Equipped with bobcats, jackhammers, and dump trucks to safely break apart, load, and haul old concrete slabs away from your property.
Plan the Size, Layout, and Finish
A concrete driveway is an important curb appeal feature. We work with homeowners to determine ideal slab width, turnarounds, radius curves, and surface finishes.
The industry standard for residential driveways. Provides high traction for tires in snow or rain and creates a clean, classic appearance.
Combine a durable broom-finish central pad with a decorative stamped brick or stone border along the edges or curb apron for extra style.

Vehicle Load Considerations
Residential passenger cars weigh 3,000 to 6,000 lbs, but delivery trucks, heavy pickup trucks, RVs, or trash vehicles exert far greater concentrated loads.
We design concrete thickness, sub-base gravel compaction, and steel rebar grid reinforcement to match your expected vehicle weight.
What Happens During Driveway Installation?
Layout & Utility Check
We verify driveway dimensions, stake form lines, and coordinate public utility locates before digging.
Tear-Out & Haul Away
Existing concrete or asphalt is broken up with machinery, loaded into dump trucks, and hauled to recycling facilities.
Sub-Base Compaction
Unstable soil is excavated and a aggregate road base layer is spread and plate-compacted to prevent future settling.
Formwork & Rebar Grid
Heavy wood form boards are set to establish proper water runoff pitch. Steel rebar or wire mesh is elevated on chairs.
Concrete Pour & Floating
Ready-mix concrete is discharged, screeded flat, and bull-floated to bring fine paste to the surface.
Broom Finishing
A specialized concrete broom is pulled across the wet surface to create non-slip traction grooves for tires.
Control Joints Saw-Cut
Precision saw cuts are made within 24 hours to control natural expansion and prevent random surface cracking.
Curing & Site Cleanup
Forms are stripped, surrounding soil is backfilled, debris is swept, and curing guidelines are provided to the owner.
Planning for Aurora Weather and Site Conditions
Aurora’s clay soils and winter freeze-thaw cycles place severe stress on concrete driveways. Preparing subgrade soil and installing proper base aggregate is critical to long-term performance.
What Affects the Price of a Concrete Driveway?
Driveway pricing in Aurora varies based on specific site requirements:
- Overall square footage and slab thickness (4" vs 6" for heavy trucks)
- Tear-out and hauling fees for existing thick concrete or asphalt
- Excavation depth and aggregate road base tonnage
- Steel rebar grid density vs. standard wire mesh reinforcement
- Curb cut, apron, or sidewalk transition permits if required by Aurora municipality
How Long Does a Driveway Project Take?
Typically 1 Day
Most standard residential driveway tear-outs, sub-base compaction, and form setting are completed in a single day.
Typically 1 Day

24 Hours Foot / 7 Days Vehicles
