What does a concrete driveway installation include?
A complete concrete driveway installation covers tear-out of the old driveway, grading, base prep, forms, steel reinforcement, the pour, finishing, control joints and curing. Here is how we build a driveway, step by step.
- Tear-out. If there is an old driveway, we break it up and haul it away. A first-time driveway on bare ground skips this step.
- Grading. We shape the ground so water runs away from your garage and your house.
- Base prep. We bring in gravel and compact it so the slab sits on firm, even ground. Any soft spots get dug out and filled first.
- Forms. We set forms to the width, shape and height of your new driveway.
- Reinforcement. We place steel inside the slab so the driveway holds together if the ground shifts.
- The pour. The concrete goes in, gets leveled and smoothed, and is worked into the corners and edges.
- Finishing. We finish the surface the way you picked: broom, exposed aggregate or stamped.
- Control joints. We cut joints into the slab so any cracks form along straight lines instead of across the middle. We also add joints where the driveway meets your garage, a sidewalk or a curb.
- Curing. We keep the new concrete protected so it cures slowly and gets strong. In a Roseville summer, this step matters a lot.
How thick should a concrete driveway be?
Thicker concrete is stronger concrete. A driveway for cars needs less thickness than one that carries heavy trucks, RVs or trailers, so we set the thickness based on how you use your driveway.
Thickness matters more than almost anything else for how long a driveway lasts. Tell us what you park and we’ll plan for it.
When can you drive on a new concrete driveway?
We’ll tell you when your new driveway is ready. Walking comes first, cars next, and heavy trucks and RVs last. Concrete keeps getting stronger for weeks after the pour.
Keep cars off until we give the go-ahead, and stay off the edges of the slab a little longer, because the edges are the weakest part of a new driveway.
Should you repair or replace your concrete driveway?
Repair works when the damage is small and the base underneath is still solid. Replace the driveway when cracks are wide and spread across several slabs, slabs have sunk or lifted, or the surface is breaking apart.
If your driveway only needs a fix, read about our concrete driveway repair. A repair costs less than a new driveway, but it will not fix a bad base.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Roseville?
The cost of a concrete driveway in Roseville depends on size, tear-out, thickness, finish, access and permits. Every driveway is different, so we give free quotes instead of one-size-fits-all numbers.
Size
More square feet means more concrete, more base and more labor.
Tear-out.
Replacing an old driveway costs more than pouring on bare ground, because the old concrete has to be broken up and hauled away.
Thickness and steel
A thicker slab with more steel costs more. It also holds more weight.
Base and grading
Soft soil, bad drainage or a steep slope means more prep work.
Finish
A plain broom finish usually costs less than exposed aggregate or stamped concrete.
Access
If the concrete truck can’t get close, the crew may need a pump or extra labor.
Permits
Work in the public right of way needs a city permit, which can add time and fees.

What finish options do you have for a concrete driveway?
Most Roseville driveways get a broom finish, exposed aggregate or a stamped pattern. Colored concrete is also available.
Broom finish
Exposed aggregate
Stamped concrete
Patterns are pressed into the surface to look like slate, flagstone, cobblestone or wood plank. Add color and it can pass for stone or brick. See our stamped concrete driveways for patterns and details.

Need driveway repair instead of a new driveway?
If your driveway has small cracks or surface wear, repair may be all you need. We repair cracks, fix sunken slabs and resurface worn concrete. Read more about concrete driveway repair and resurfacing.
How does Roseville’s summer heat affect a new concrete driveway?
Hot, dry weather pulls water out of fresh concrete too fast, which can cause surface cracks and weak spots. Roseville and Placer County summers get hot, so we plan each pour around the weather.
- We schedule pours for the cooler part of the day when it’s hot.
- We keep new concrete protected and moist while it cures.
- We keep traffic off the driveway until it’s ready.
If you have a date in mind, tell us and we’ll plan around it.
Do you need a permit for a concrete driveway in Roseville?
Work on a driveway approach in the public right of way needs an encroachment permit from the City of Roseville. The approach is the part of the driveway that crosses the public right of way, usually from the street to the sidewalk or property line.
Work that stays on your own property can have different rules. If you live in an HOA community, the HOA may need to approve changes to your driveway. Rocklin, Lincoln and other cities have their own rules. We’ll tell you what your driveway needs before we start.

Concrete driveway FAQs
How long does a concrete driveway last?
A well-built concrete driveway lasts for many years. The base, thickness, steel, joints and curing all affect how long yours holds up. Heat, tree roots, heavy vehicles and poor drainage can shorten that. A driveway poured on a firm base and kept clean will usually outlast one that was rushed.
How long does it take to install a concrete driveway?
The timeline depends on the size, whether there is an old driveway to remove, the weather and the finish. We’ll give you a schedule when we quote the job. After the pour, the concrete needs time to cure before you can use it.
Can you replace just part of a concrete driveway?
Often, yes. If the base under the rest of the driveway is solid, we can remove and replace individual slabs along the joint lines. New concrete will not match the color of older concrete exactly, so some homeowners replace the whole driveway for a uniform look. We’ll look at your slabs and tell you what makes sense.
Is a concrete driveway better than asphalt?
Concrete usually costs more up front, but it lasts longer and needs less upkeep than asphalt. It also holds up better in hot weather, since asphalt can soften in summer heat. If you want color or a pattern, concrete gives you far more choices.
Do I need to seal a new concrete driveway?
A sealer helps block oil, water and stains, and it makes cleanup easier. Sealer goes on after the concrete has fully cured. Different finishes use different sealers, so ask us before you pick one. Stamped and exposed aggregate driveways usually benefit most.
Do you remove and haul away my old driveway?
Yes. For a replacement, we break up the old driveway, haul it away and rebuild the base before we pour. Tear-out is part of the project, so it shows up in your quote instead of as a surprise later. If you only need a small section replaced, tell us and we’ll quote just that.
