Step 4

Clear the area by removing plants, debris, and old pavement/concrete.
Excavate the site to the required depth, considering proper slope and drainage requirements.
Compaction the soil to create a stable base for the new driveway.

Step 5

Construct formwork using wood or other materials to outline the shape and edges of the project.
Install reinforcement materials like rebar or wire mesh to add strength to the concrete if included.

Step 6

Preparation in ordering the concrete mixture according to the specified ratio of cement, aggregates, and water as well as necessary slump, PSI, etc.
Concrete is transported to the jobsite and poured into the formwork evenly.

Step 7

Level and smooth the concrete surface using tools such as floats, trowels, bullfloats, fresno, etc.
Create defined edges along the perimeter of the concrete using edging tools. Additionally, cut control joints into the concrete at regular intervals to control cracking caused by shrinkage.
Complete the concrete with either a broom or stamped finish to ensure an “anti-slip” surface.

Step 8

Removal of formwork carefully avoiding damaging the freshly poured concrete.
The site is thoroughly cleaned by disposing of excess materials and debris.
A suitable sealant can be applied to protect the concrete surface from weathering, stains, and cracks.

Final Step

A comprehensive inspection of the completed driveway in conducted to ensure it meets our quality standards.
Receive guidance on maintenance procedures and recommended timelines for resealing or further care.
