Our 5-Step Approach to Pouring Concrete Driveways in Columbus, OH
1. Demolition and Site Preparation
We remove existing driveway material (gravel, asphalt, or concrete), establish proper grade lines, and ensure a straight layout with appropriate drainage.
2. Base Preparation and Gravel Installation
We install a gravel base for both structural support and drainage.
3. Customer Approval
Together, we’ll complete a final walkthrough before proceeding, to ensure everything is up to your standards.
4. Professional Pour
Using specialized light equipment that transports concrete from the road to the driveway, we’ll begin the pour while protecting your yard.
5. Finishing and Curing
We’ll apply an appropriate finish (such as broom texture for traction) and maintain responsibility for the concrete until fully set and ready for use.
+ How long will my concrete driveway installation take?
Most concrete driveways in Columbus, OH are completed within two days. Day one involves removing existing material and preparing for the pour. Day two includes pouring and finishing.
+ What happens if there’s bad weather during installation?
As an experienced driveway contractor in the Columbus area, we monitor weather conditions closely. We won’t pour concrete if rain or adverse conditions threaten the quality of your installation.
+ How do I know if I need a replacement versus repair?
Use the sponge test: pour water on your existing concrete. If it absorbs rather than puddles, replacement is likely needed. Also look for “alligator skin” cracking, exposed aggregate, or sections that have shifted more than half an inch.
+ What’s different about your approach as a concrete driveway contractor?
Unlike larger contractors who may damage your landscaping, we use specialized carts and lightweight equipment. This means no torn-up yards, no additional landscaping costs, and a cleaner finished project. The same is true for our work on other projects, such as patios and sidewalks.
