Concrete Driveway Installation in Peoria, IL
A properly installed driveway is one of the most important structural elements of your property.
Driveways must support vehicle weight, resist freeze-thaw cycles, and prevent premature cracking caused by improper base preparation.
Our driveway installations include:
- New concrete driveways
- Driveway tear-out and replacement
- Driveway widening and extensions
- Decorative broom finish driveways
- Exposed aggregate finishes
Every driveway is installed with proper grading, sub-base compaction, reinforcement, and control joint placement.
Driveway Replacement in Peoria
If your driveway has:
- Large structural cracks
- Severe settlement or sinking
- Edge crumbling
- Surface scaling
- Drainage issues
Full replacement is often the most reliable long-term solution.
We remove damaged concrete, correct underlying base issues, and install a reinforced slab designed for structural stability.
Our Concrete Driveway Installation Process
Understanding the process helps homeowners evaluate contractor quality.
Step 1 – Removal & Excavation
Old concrete is removed and disposed of properly. The base is excavated to correct depth.
Step 2 – Sub-Base Preparation
We install and compact aggregate base material to reduce settling and improve load distribution.
Step 3 – Forming & Reinforcement
Precision forms ensure straight lines and correct slope. Reinforcement is installed based on driveway size and expected load.
Step 4 – Concrete Pour & Finish
We pour high-quality concrete and apply the selected finish (broom, decorative, or aggregate).
Step 5 – Curing & Protection
Proper curing strengthens the concrete and reduces surface defects.
How Thick Should a Concrete Driveway Be?
In most residential applications:
Standard passenger vehicle driveways are typically 4 inches thick.
Heavier vehicle or RV driveways may require 5–6 inches with additional reinforcement.
Thickness requirements vary depending on soil conditions and expected load.
We evaluate your property to determine the correct specifications.
