Concrete Driveways
Transform your property with a durable, professionally installed concrete driveway that lasts for decades.
Why Choose Concrete for Your Driveway
Your driveway is one of the first things people notice about your home. A well-built concrete driveway not only boosts your curb appeal but also adds real value to your property. At GrandServe Marion Concrete Works, we have been serving homeowners in Marion, OH since 2024, and we know what it takes to build a driveway that handles everything Ohio weather throws at it.
Concrete driveways are the smart choice for homeowners who want durability without constant maintenance. Unlike asphalt that needs sealing every few years or gravel that shifts and spreads, a properly installed concrete driveway can last 30 years or more with minimal upkeep. We use the right mix, proper base preparation, and proven installation techniques to make sure your driveway stays strong and looks great for decades.
What Makes Our Concrete Driveways Different
Not all concrete driveways are created equal. The difference between a driveway that cracks in a few years and one that lasts a lifetime comes down to three things: base preparation, proper mix design, and correct installation. Here is what we do to make sure your driveway exceeds your expectations:
- •Thorough Base Preparation: We excavate to the right depth, compact the subgrade, and install a proper gravel base. This prevents settling and cracking.
- •Professional Grading: We slope your driveway correctly so water drains away from your home and garage, preventing ice buildup and water damage.
- •Quality Materials: We use the right concrete mix with proper strength rating for driveways. No shortcuts, no compromises.
- •Control Joints: We cut control joints at the right spacing to control where cracks form, keeping them straight and hidden.
- •Proper Curing: We protect and cure your concrete the right way so it reaches full strength and resists damage from freeze-thaw cycles.
How We Install Your Concrete Driveway
We believe in doing things the right way, not the fast way. Here is what you can expect when you work with us:
Step 1: Site Evaluation and Planning
We visit your property to assess the site conditions, discuss your needs, and provide a detailed quote. We explain exactly what we will do and why, so there are no surprises.
Step 2: Excavation and Base Preparation
We remove the old surface if needed, excavate to the proper depth, and install a compacted gravel base. This is the foundation of a long-lasting driveway.
Step 3: Forming and Reinforcement
We set up sturdy forms to the correct height and install reinforcement if needed. Everything is checked for proper slope and drainage before we pour.
Step 4: Concrete Pouring and Finishing
We pour the concrete, spread it evenly, and finish it to your desired texture. We cut control joints while the concrete is still workable to control cracking.
Step 5: Curing and Protection
We protect your new driveway while it cures and provide clear instructions on when you can use it. We stay available to answer any questions you have.
