1. What is the required thickness for a driveway?

The minimum thickness for a driveway is 4 inches. Heavier vehicles need more thickness. One important thing to note is what lies underneath. The subgrade needs to be properly compacted to add structural support. If you hire a professional contractor for the job, pay close attention to the work done before pouring the concrete. Don't be afraid to ask questions.

2. City of Alpharetta compliance

In Alpharetta, concrete driveway construction needs to comply with the codes, rules, and regulations and also needs to pass inspection. Always make sure your contractor is licensed and insured.

3. Can It be done as a DIY project?

Maybe, but pouring and finishing a concrete driveway is a pretty daunting task. If you want to add to the value of your house, hire a professional concrete contractor. But, if you want to do it yourself, here is an in-depth article to help you out. You need special tools and knowledge about the curing process. Any mishaps and you could get less than desirable results. Furthermore, concrete can be hazardous to your skin because of its alkalinity. If it comes into contact with your skin, it could create a chemical reaction and burn your skin. Weighing around 150 pounds per cubic foot, you could easily get hurt when pouring especially when using a wheelbarrow. Special equipment is needed!
