Turnkey removal of failing, sunken, or tree-root cracked driveways. Complete heavy equipment demolition, debris recycling, and engineered repours.
Replacing a driveway isn't just pouring new concrete over bad dirt. Most failures are caused by uncompacted clay, missing steel reinforcement, or buried tree roots. We correct the underlying subgrade before pouring a single yard of concrete.
| Engineering Parameter | A & P Concrete Construction Standard |
|---|---|
| Surgical Demolition | Hydraulic breakers and rubber-tracked skid-steers break concrete into manageable pieces without rutting your lawn or damaging underground utilities. |
| Clean Debris Haul-Off | All broken concrete, asphalt chunks, and tree roots are loaded into heavy dump trailers and hauled off site for aggregate recycling. |
| Subgrade Remediation | We excavate soft uncompacted clay pockets, remove buried stumps/roots, and re-grade the ground to establish proper foundation fall. |
| Virgin SB2 Gravel Base | 4 inches of fresh crushed SB2 limestone base is spread and compacted to eliminate sub-base voids that cause sunken slabs. |
| Dowel Tie-Ins | Where the new driveway meets your garage apron or street curb, we drill and epoxy #4 steel rebar dowels to prevent vertical shifting. |
| 4000 PSI Engineered Repour | Poured with fiber-reinforced 4000 PSI ready mix, tied #4 rebar grid on dobies, and tooled with clean expansion relief joints. |
Every project follows our rigorous engineering workflow to ensure zero settlement, optimal curing, and lifelong durability.
Arkansas One-Call locates underground gas, water, electric, and fiber optic lines before any breaking equipment touches your property.
Skid-steers with hydraulic breaker attachments break the old slab. Concrete is cleanly loaded and hauled away the same day.
We dig out tree roots, excavate mushy soil, and laser-grade the dirt bed to guarantee proper downhill water runoff.
Crushed SB2 stone is rolled and mechanically compacted to create an unyielding foundation pad that prevents future settlement.
Forms are secured with heavy pins. Steel dowels are epoxied into adjacent slabs, and a #4 rebar grid is tied across the entire footprint.
We pour 4000 PSI fiber concrete, float to perfection, tool crisp edges, apply non-slip broom traction, and saw control relief joints.

| Project Scope | Typical Price Range | Inclusions & Specifications |
|---|---|---|
| Complete Demo, Haul & 4000 PSI Repour | $10.00 – $15.50 / sq ft | Turnkey package: demolition, haul-off, subgrade gravel compaction, #4 rebar, and repour. |
| Driveway Widening During Replacement | $8.50 – $12.00 / sq ft | Cost-effective addition of extra width, 3rd car stall, or turnaround bay during demo. |
| Demolition & Haul-Off Only | $3.00 – $5.00 / sq ft | Stand-alone concrete breaking, loading, and disposal service for general contractors. |
Detailed answers to common questions about concrete engineering, permitting, pricing, and installation in Hot Springs and Central Arkansas.
Turnkey concrete driveway replacement in Hot Springs generally costs between $10 and $16 per square foot. This includes utility safety checks, demolition, loading, hauling away heavy debris, re-grading the subgrade, spreading compacted SB2 gravel base, and pouring new 4000 PSI fiber-reinforced concrete.
No. Our operators have 27 years of experience and operate rubber-tracked skid steers designed to distribute weight evenly. We lay protective plywood mats across delicate turf and establish strict equipment access lanes to protect your lawn and sprinkler heads.
Yes! Replacement is the ideal time to widen your driveway, add a third parking stall, build a boat/RV pad, or install a turnaround area. Adding square footage during active replacement is significantly cheaper than a separate project later.
A standard 2-car residential driveway replacement takes 2 to 3 days: Day 1 is demolition, haul-off, and base compaction; Day 2 is formwork, rebar tying, and concrete pouring; Day 3 is joint cutting, cleanup, and form removal.
Most builder-grade driveways fail because they were poured directly over uncompacted native red clay without a gravel drainage base, with thin 3000 PSI mix, and with cheap wire mesh that sat on the ground instead of centered steel rebar.
Yes. We coordinate with the City of Hot Springs Street Department and Garland County Road Department to ensure street curb tie-ins, culvert sizing, and right-of-way transitions meet all municipal building codes.
