Concrete driveway replacement
in Rochester, NY
New and replacement driveways built on a proper compacted base with reinforcement and control joints, so they stay flat and crack-resistant through Rochester winters.
A driveway built to outlast the winters
Most driveway failures start underground. We tear out the old slab, rebuild and compact the sub-base, add wire mesh or rebar, and cut proper control joints, the unglamorous steps that keep a slab flat and crack-free for decades.
- Tear-out & haul-away of old slabs
- Compacted, graded sub-base
