Tear-out and new drives
Concrete Driveways in Justice Built for Weight and Winter
A heavier slab on a rebuilt base, so the drive stays flat under a loaded pickup and through every freeze.
Your Driveway Carries More Than You Think
Every day a driveway takes a couple of tons of car rolling on and off it. Add a delivery truck, a moving van, a plow pushing snow, and months of freeze and thaw with salt dripping off the wheel wells. That is a lot to ask of a slab. Driveways fail early for the same short list of reasons. Too thin. Poured on dirt. No reinforcement. Joints spaced too far apart. Water parked on the surface all winter. Our driveways answer each one. We jackhammer the tired one and truck the rubble off. We dig deep enough to remove soft soil, then build a compacted stone base. Reinforcement goes in. A driveway slab gets more depth than any path or backyard pad, usually 5 to 6 inches depending on soil and what you park on it, with extra thickness at the street end where the apron takes the hardest hits. The surface is pitched so meltwater runs off. Joints are cut on a layout. Then the concrete is left to cure properly before anything heavy rolls on. A Justice driveway built this way should handle a lot of winters.
What a Driveway Job Includes
Replacement or brand new, here is what goes into it.
Demolition
Your current drive jackhammered, loaded up and taken off site with the rest of the job.
Excavation
Soft soil removed so the new slab is not sitting on what failed the last one.
Rebuilt base
Crushed stone spread and compacted in layers for firm, even support.
Reinforcement
Rebar or wire mesh set at the right height inside the slab where the load needs it.
Vehicle-grade thickness
A slab sized for cars and the occasional heavy truck, thickened at the apron.
Finish, joints and cure
Broomed for traction, control joints cut, and time given to cure before parking.
How Your New Driveway Goes In
Look and price
We measure the drive, look at how the old one failed and check drainage. You get a written price listing tear-out, base, thickness, steel and finish.
Tear out and rebuild
The old slab comes out, soil is excavated and new stone base is packed. Forms and reinforcement are set to grade.
Pour and wait
Concrete is poured, finished and jointed. You walk on it after a day or two and park on it after about a week.
Why Our Driveways Hold Up
Heavier slab
Driveways get driveway thickness. Never a walkway pour with a car on it.
Steel inside
Reinforcement where the load and the soil call for it, set up in the slab, not on the ground.
Patience at the end
Proper curing time before parking, so the surface gains full strength and resists salt.
