Our team is experienced in all applications, from clean and simple brushed finishes to decorative exposed aggregate and stamped concrete. No matter your vision, you’re in great hands with Smith-Evergreen.
Before we begin your installation, we’ll check for any HOA guidelines or neighborhood requirements. Once everything is approved, we’ll map out the size, shape, and layout of your driveway. It’s important to consider the number and size of your vehicles, as well as future needs like RV parking, additional cars, or widened entry areas.
During your on-site estimate, we take exact measurements of the project area to determine the amount of concrete needed. From there, we walk you through layout options, finish choices, pricing, and what to expect throughout the installation process.
The strength of your driveway starts with the ground beneath it. We begin by checking the stability of the soil to ensure it can support the weight of concrete and vehicles. If the soil is too loose, we reinforce it to prevent settling and cracking down the road.
Next, we outline the driveway with stakes to define the exact shape. Once the framework is set, we add reinforcement (such as rebar or wire mesh) and prepare the base for pouring.
After everything is prepped, we pour the concrete and carefully level the slab. Before the concrete fully sets, we cut expansion joints to help the driveway flex naturally with temperature changes and prevent cracking.
To ensure traction during rain, snow, or ice, we apply a textured, slip-resistant surface using a broom or burlap finish. This creates a safe, durable driving surface that performs well year-round.
Proper curing is key to long-term durability. We protect the new concrete with plastic sheets or wet-curing blankets to shield it from weather and ensure even drying.
After a few days, your driveway will be strong enough for daily use—and ready to support your vehicles. You’ll enjoy a clean, attractive, long-lasting driveway built to withstand the Richmond climate.
