Concrete Driveways
A better driveway starts from the ground up.
Your driveway takes a beating. Vehicles, snow, ice, temperature swings, and everyday use all put concrete to the test. Whether you’re replacing an aging driveway or pouring one for a new home, we’ll help you build a surface designed around your property and the demands of Colorado.

Straightforward or decorative
Broom finish
Fine ridges for traction on snow and ice. The standard for driveways and walks.
Exposed aggregate
The top layer washed back to show the stone. Grippy and good at hiding wear.
Stamped
Patterned to look like stone, slate or brick, at a fraction of the cost.
Integral color
Color mixed through the concrete, so chips and wear don’t show grey.
Smooth trowel
Dense and flat for garage floors, shops and courts.
Sealed
A penetrating sealer before the first winter to resist water and de-icer.
A driveway on bentonite clay is a different job than one on river sand
The Front Range has four distinct ground conditions, and each one changes how we prepare the base, reinforce the slab and handle water. Your community page has the specifics.
Expansive clay plains
Remove the soft and organic soil, bring in compacted road base, set rebar on chairs, and plan joints and slope so water runs away from the house instead of soaking the clay beside it.
Foothills and tilted bedrock
Deeper excavation and a thicker compacted base, reinforcement sized for uneven support, and drainage that intercepts runoff above the slab, often paired with a retaining wall where the grade demands it.
River sand and gravel
Compaction done in lifts, geotextile fabric where the native soil is soft, and a thicker section anywhere a truck, trailer or RV will park.
Palmer Divide uplands
Air-entrained exterior mix, proper curing, a penetrating sealer before the first winter, and a broom texture for traction on sloped driveways.
