What you don't see
What goes underneath
Driveways don't fail on top: they fail from below. Tap each layer.
Thickness:
5 inches: cars, pickups and soft clay.
Finish
Surface
A broom finish gives grip in the rain; smooth or exposed aggregate where it fits. Never stamped: clean finishes last longer and are easier to repair.
Concrete slab
4–6 in
4 inches is the usual minimum for cars; 5–6 inches for pickups, trailers, RVs or soft red clay. Thicker slabs carry more weight before they crack.
Steel reinforcement
Inside the slab
Steel set on chairs so it stays in the middle of the slab, where it helps hold cracks tight.
Control joints
Every 10 ft or less
Concrete always cracks a little. Joints cut about a quarter of the slab deep make it crack in a straight line, where you don't see it.
Crushed-stone base
Compacted
A layer of crushed stone, compacted, so water drains and the slab sits on something solid, not on mud.
Red clay subgrade
Carolina soil
North Carolina's red clay holds water and moves. Soft spots get dug out and compacted before anything goes on top.
After the pour
When can I drive on it?
Day 0
Pour day
Concrete placed, finished and joints cut. Keep everyone off.
Day 1–2
Walk on it
Light foot traffic is fine. No bikes, no pets running yet.
Day 7
Park your cars
Normal cars can park. Keep heavy trucks off.
Day 28
Full strength
Concrete reaches its design strength: delivery trucks and RVs are OK.
About day 30
Seal it
A clear sealer helps keep water and stains out. Reseal every 3–5 years.

Walk on it after 1–2 days and park cars after about 7 days. Heavy trucks should wait about 28 days, when concrete reaches its design strength.
Another question? Ask Victor02How thick should it be?4 inches is the usual minimum for cars. On soft red clay, or for pickups,…
4 inches is the usual minimum for cars. On soft red clay, or for pickups, trailers and RVs, 5 to 6 inches is the safer choice. We tell you what your job needs when we see it.
Another question? Ask Victor03Do I need a permit in Raleigh?Yes. The City of Raleigh requires a permit for new or replaced driveways, and…
Yes. The City of Raleigh requires a permit for new or replaced driveways, and the part by the street (the apron, in the public right-of-way) has extra requirements. Other towns have their own rules. Ask us and we will tell you what your job involves before we start.
Another question? Ask Victor04Do you do stamped concrete?No. We focus on clean, long-lasting finishes: broom, smooth, exposed…
No. We focus on clean, long-lasting finishes: broom, smooth, exposed aggregate, and polished, stained or epoxy where it fits.

For tall fescue, mid-September to early October (NC State Extension). Spring seeding works but usually not as well. Bermuda and zoysia go in late spring and summer.
Another question? Ask Victor06Do you treat weeds, insects or lawn fungus?Not at this time. Applying pesticides for hire in North Carolina requires a…
Not at this time. Applying pesticides for hire in North Carolina requires a state applicator license. We do fertilizing, aeration and overseeding.
