We build durable concrete driveways that last for decades and enhance your property value.
Your driveway is one of the first things people see when they visit your home. A cracked, sunken, or stained driveway creates a bad first impression and can lower your property value. We install concrete driveways that look great and hold up to everything Culver City weather throws at them.
Concrete driveways are popular in Culver City and throughout Los Angeles County because they handle our climate perfectly. Unlike asphalt, which softens in the heat, concrete stays solid even during summer. It does not need frequent resealing, and it can last 30 years or more with minimal maintenance.
We have installed hundreds of driveways for homeowners who want a clean, professional look that lasts. Whether you are replacing an old driveway or adding one to a new home, we make sure it is done right the first time.
A concrete driveway is only as good as the work that goes into it. Many contractors cut corners on prep work, which leads to cracks and sinking within a few years. We do not take shortcuts. Every driveway we pour starts with proper site preparation.
First, we excavate the area and create a stable base. We compact the soil and add a layer of gravel to promote drainage. Poor drainage is the number one cause of driveway failure, so we make sure water flows away from the concrete, not under it.
Next, we install rebar or wire mesh reinforcement. This strengthens the concrete and helps prevent cracks. We also use control joints, which are planned weak points that guide any cracks to areas where they will not be visible or problematic.
We pour the concrete at the right thickness for your needs. Standard residential driveways are typically 4 inches thick, but if you have heavy vehicles or poor soil, we may recommend going thicker. The concrete mix we use is specifically designed for Southern California conditions, with additives that improve strength and workability.
When you hire us, you get a team that shows up on time and finishes the job right. We start with a free on-site estimate. We measure your space, check the soil conditions, and discuss your preferences for finish and color.
Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work. Most driveways take two to three days to complete. On day one, we excavate the old driveway if there is one and prepare the base. We make sure everything is level and properly sloped for drainage.
On day two, we set up the forms and install the reinforcement. Then we pour the concrete. We use professional equipment to spread and level the concrete evenly. After the pour, we finish the surface. You can choose from a smooth trowel finish, a broom finish for better traction, or a decorative option like stamped concrete.
After we finish the surface, the concrete needs time to cure. We apply a curing compound to lock in moisture and prevent cracking. You will need to stay off the driveway for at least seven days, and we recommend waiting a full month before parking heavy vehicles on it.
We clean up the site completely before we leave. You will not find leftover materials or debris in your yard. We take pride in leaving your property cleaner than we found it. If you need help with other concrete work around your home, like patios or walkways, we can handle that too.
