Do you want your Replacement driveway job done right

As professional concrete contractors in the Atlanta area, We like to compare our techniques to theirs. For instance, the picture to the right shows a driveway poured by our competition. They simply formed-up to the curb by laying down two 1×8″s nailed together and then poured concrete over what was left of the existing curb. This leaves a thin edge that is easily broken.

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.
