In January 2023 we demolished an existing concrete driveway on our Santa Clara job to make way for new concrete.
| Date | January 2023 |
| Scope | Driveway demolition |
Good demolition sets up a good pour. We saw-cut clean edges where the new work meets the old, break out and haul off all debris, and check the subgrade underneath. Many driveway failures start with base problems that stay hidden until the old slab comes out.

From January 7 to January 12, 2022 we tore out and replaced a 3,000 square foot driveway at a large home.
| Area | 3,000 sq ft |
| Dates | January 7–12, 2022 |
| Concrete | 3000 PSI, 5 in. thick |
| Reinforcement | 3/8 in. rebar @ 12 in. OCEW |
| Finish | Broom |
We poured it 5 inches thick instead of the usual 4, which gives it more strength for heavy vehicles and long driveways. Request a quote.
Adding on to a driveway or patio is one of our most common residential jobs. Here are three San Antonio projects from 2021.
| Location | San Antonio, TX |
| Dates | June, August & December 2021 |
| Concrete | 3000 PSI, 4–5 in. thick |
| Reinforcement | 3/8 in. rebar @ 12 in. OCEW, doweled |
| Finish | Broom |
Over two days we poured a back patio, a driveway add-on and a sidewalk: 3000 PSI concrete, 4 inches thick, with 3/8-inch rebar at 12 inches each way, doweled into the existing concrete.
For this back patio add-on we poured 5-inch concrete with a perimeter toe beam 12 inches deep by 8 inches wide. We also poured a 4-inch driveway extension, both reinforced at 12 inches each way.
We added on to the driveway and back patio with 3/8-inch rebar at 12 inches each way and 4-inch, 3000 PSI concrete.
When new concrete meets old, we drill into the existing slab and set rebar dowels. That keeps the two slabs from shifting apart and cracking at the joint.

Three residential jobs from 2021, each built to the same standard.
| Locations | San Antonio, Schertz, Windcrest |
| Dates | July–December 2021 |
| Concrete | 3000 PSI, 4–5 in. |
| Reinforcement | 3/8 in. rebar @ 12 in. OCEW |
In December 2021 we poured 5-inch, 3000 PSI concrete over 3/8-inch rebar with a broom finish.
In August 2021 we poured 4-inch, 3000 PSI concrete with rebar at 12 inches each way, doweled into the existing patio.
In July 2021 we poured a sidewalk to the same spec, doweled into the existing patio for a tight, lasting connection.
Exposed aggregate shows off the stone inside the concrete and gives a high-end, slip-resistant surface.
| Dates | May 2021 |
| Finish | 5/8 in. and 3/8 in. rock wash aggregate |
On May 18, 2021 we removed and replaced a driveway, through a lot of rain, and finished it with a 5/8-inch rock wash aggregate.
At a home in Hollywood Park, we added onto an existing patio with a 3/8-inch wash aggregate finish to match.
After placement, the surface paste is washed off at just the right time, exposing the aggregate. Timing and weather control the result.
