Custom Concrete Inc. shares insights and advice for driveway replacements

David Gipson, owner of Custom Concrete Inc., gave some advice to homeowners in deciding to fix or tear out and replace their existing driveway with a new installation. After completing numerous successful replacements in the Metro Atlanta area, David and his team have gained tremendous knowledge and wisdom giving homeowners assurance in their decision.

In a lot of cases, they come across, fixing and repairing a driveway full of cracks is only a temporary solution. Putting a band-aid on what could be a much bigger problem can cost you more in the long run.

concrete driveway replacements in Atlanta

Soil compaction

The soil in the Atlanta area is mostly composed of red clay. It can provide a strong subgrade for the concrete to lay on top, but it needs to be properly compacted. This is especially important when you need to add fill or re-grade.

They recommend to always check your compaction. Especially when the grade needs to be built up. Failing to properly compact the soil will most definitely cause structural issues that will worsen over time.

Concrete Reinforcement

David is a firm believer in adding adequate reinforcement to his driveway replacements.

When it comes to adding value to your home, cutting corners should not be part of the plan, steel rebar reinforcement should be used to strengthen the slab's structural integrity.

Steel rebar is the most common material to reinforce concrete because of its properties.

The right concrete mix

Because your driveway needs to support heavy loads like vehicles, the mixture should be carefully chosen by the contractor. For driveways, usually a 4000 psi strength is required. The strength should be determined depending on the weight and types of vehicles that will rest on the slab.

At Custom Concrete Inc., they have strict quality control with respect to the concrete mixtures used in driveways.

The need for better education

David is a firm believer in good communication with his customers throughout his projects. To avoid any bad surprises, he reiterates the importance for homeowners to not be afraid to ask questions before, during and after their driveway replacement.
