Another step in providing a quality concrete project is looking at all the design options.  Being a concrete contractor in Georgia I often see folks who decide to have a concrete project done and they jump into the project without getting a qualified contractor  to design a project that will best fit their needs.  In this series the first step to having a professional project completed by a qualified Atlanta concrete contractor was planning for your concrete project.  The next step you will want to think about in your project is designs options.

Today’s concrete can be formed into practically any shape, texture, pattern, or color. It’s a way of adding a new dimension of quality and elegance to your home, at a reasonable cost.  Decorative concrete is becoming more common simply because it adds to the uniqueness of yourproject.

Pattern stamping is an exotic and colorful way to enhance ordinary concrete paving. Essentially, the concrete driveway is cast-in-place concrete which has been colored and imprinted with a pattern designed to look like brick, tile, cobblestone, or other various patterns. Textured finishes include bromide, swirl, or exposed aggregate.

You can also add texture by adding brick or stone borders.  There are so many options to chose from that you can now chose a style, color, pattern or design that represents your unique personality, making the concrete project your own.

As professional Atlanta concrete contractors we have done many jobs and have a lot of finished pictures, but we thought we would start sharing the projects pictures online so that you as a concrete customer can find out or understand what all goes into doing a concrete driveway replacement, a concrete sidewalk replacement or just an upgrade to what you have already.  Planning your concrete job is essential.

We started this driveway tear out by taking the old concrete driveway out, and recycling that old concrete.

We also put up silt fence when needed to help the job stay clean, the dirt from washing in and making a mess of the concrete.

During the rainy season, which has been quite frequently in the Atlanta area, we take the time to provide plastic and cover the job, so that we can continue with the project as soon as the rain passes through and the job site is manageable.

Most people don’t realize that some companies pour the new concrete driveway up over the old curb, leaving a thin weak edge.  This will tend to break off and deteriorate over time.  Professional Concrete of Georgia is different.  We cut out the existing curb and pour a great foundation there at the curb so it is stronger and longer lasting.  To find out more about this process visit our post titled “ Do you want your replacement driveway project done right?”

Planning

The quality of the completed concrete driveway always begins with good planning. Spending time at this stage is always a wise decision that can help to eliminate possible problems later on. One of the first things to consider is size.

The suggested width for a single-car driveway is 8 to 9 feet. For double width, plan to use 15 to 18 feet. If the distance from the street to a two or more car garage is long enough, the initial entry approach can be of single-car width and then widened near the garage to accommodate all car stalls. If space is available, extra parking or a turn-around area can be included. Also, the planning stage is the time to consider adding that concrete patio or porch addition.

As for thickness, non-reinforced pavement 4 inches thick is standard for passenger car driveways. For heavier vehicles, a thickness of 5 inches is recommended. To eliminate standing water, the driveway should be sloped towards the street a minimum of 1%, or 1/8 inch per foot for proper drainage.

The way we do a driveway replacement project at Professional Concrete of Georgia

we saw-cut and remove the curb. After removing the curb properly, we then dig down eight inches forming a footer-like area (most of our competitors only pour four inches of concrete at the curb). We dig this eight inch footer-like area at the curb and garage so the driveway will have increased strength in these critical areas.

Professional Concrete of Georgia = Concrete eight inches thick at your garage and the end of your concrete driveway for lasting strength and beauty!

Competition = Thin, broken concrete at the end of your driveway!

Where newly installed concrete joins existing concrete, we drill into the existing concrete every eighteen inches. Rebar is then inserted into these holes and an epoxy type adhesive is used to hold the rebar in place (as necessary). This allows the concrete to expand while keeping it from settling and developing a lip. That way you will always have a smooth transition from your pre-existing concrete areas to your newly installed concrete areas.
