Tired of severe cracks, sinking slab panels, and crumbling concrete? A & P Concrete Construction provides complete turnkey replacement: heavy hydraulic breaking, clean debris haul-off, subgrade clay remediation, 4" SB2 gravel base compaction, and an engineered 4000 PSI repour that lasts 30+ years.
Concrete driveway replacement replaces failed concrete by addressing the root cause beneath the slab. The process includes: (1) Demolishing the old cracked concrete with skid-steer hydraulic breakers; (2) Hauling away all broken rubble to local recyclers; (3) Correcting underlying subgrade clay failure by digging out tree roots, leveling soft spots, and vibrating 4 inches of crushed SB2 aggregate; (4) Setting laser-straight formwork and tying #4 rebar grids elevated on chairs; and (5) Pouring a 4000 PSI fiber-reinforced slab with expansion control joints cut every 10 feet.
When rain runoff washes out clay underneath, sections sink 2-4 inches, creating vehicle scraping and dangerous trip hazards.
Interconnected deep cracks indicate structural base failure. Patching top cracks only masks the problem temporarily.
When poor quality original concrete deteriorates down to the coarse aggregate, water penetrates and accelerates winter freeze damage.
Large pine and oak roots lift concrete slabs, snapping wire mesh and making repair impossible without root pruning and repouring.
Brand new 4000 PSI driveway with laser-straight edges and uniform traction broomed finish.
Full demolition equipment to cleanly break up thick concrete without damaging your garage, siding, or landscaping.
