Field note 02
New concrete driveways
A new driveway starts with the ground under it. The area is dug out and graded so water runs off the drive instead of sitting on it or running toward the garage. Forms are set to the shape and height the drive needs to meet the garage slab and the street or road. Then the concrete is placed, screeded, floated and finished.
A broom finish is the usual choice for a driveway because it gives tires and shoes something to grip when it rains. A stamped finish is an option where you want the drive to look more decorative.

Driveway extensions and parking pads
A lot of driveway work is about more room: an extra lane beside the existing drive, a pad for a trailer or boat, or a wider turn-around. An extension has to tie into the concrete that is already there and match its height so there's no lip to trip on or catch a mower. Where the new and old slabs meet, a joint keeps the two from cracking into each other.

Driveway replacement
When a drive is cracked through, sunken or heaved, patching often doesn't last. Replacement means breaking out the old concrete, hauling it off, re-grading the base and pouring new. It is a bigger job than a patch, but it fixes the problem at the ground instead of covering it up. Lane can look at photos and tell you whether a section can be replaced or the whole drive should come out.

Control joints in a driveway
Saw-cut control joints are what keep a driveway looking clean as it ages. Concrete shrinks as it cures and moves with temperature. The cuts give it a straight, planned line to crack along. On a driveway they're laid out across the width and along the length so the slab is split into panels that can move without breaking up the surface.

Driveway layout and access
Before the forms go in, walk the driveway with how you really use it in mind: where cars park, where a trailer swings, where the trash cans sit and where people step out. Lane can lay out width, turnarounds and aprons around that so the pour fits the way you live, not just the old gravel outline.
Questions on the ticket
Frequently asked
Q1How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
Foot traffic usually comes first and vehicles later, once the concrete has had time to cure. Lane will tell you when it's ready for your car based on the pour and the weather.
Q2Can you extend my existing driveway?
Yes. Mule Town Concrete pours driveway extensions and parking pads that tie into the existing slab at the same height.
Q3Do you tear out old driveways?
Yes. Replacement jobs include breaking out and hauling off the old concrete before the new pour.
Q4Can a driveway be stamped?
Yes. Mule Town Concrete offers stamped concrete for driveways as well as patios and walkways.
