Our client had an old and cracked circle driveway they wanted significantly enlarged to make it easier to use.
We came up with a two-phase plan: the first phase would let us widen and replace the west side of the driveway, where the client normally parked. Once that side was cured and ready to go, we’d move on to phase two: replacing and widening the east side of the driveway.
It was a big job, but the end result is a larger driveway that will last for a long, long time.

Project Plan
Here’s the outline of the project scope:
- Break and remove existing concrete on west side of front yard. Leave east side for 2nd phase to allow for homeowner to park.
- Widen circle driveway approach from 10ft to 13.5ft. Widen circle drive to 24ft at center arc.
- Level and mechanically compact subgrade for 4” driveway thickness.
- Place #3 rebar at 18” grid spacing throughout addition.
- Pour west side driveway and addition using 3500psi concrete with a medium broom finish for traction.
- Allow concrete to cure before shifting work to east side driveway. Homeowner parks on west side.
- Remove concrete and widen approaches and circle driveway to match west side.
- Place rebar and pour east side driveway and new sidewalk to front door using 3500psi concrete with a medium broom finish.
- Return to saw-cut control joints, remove forms, backfill edges, place sod and cleanup.
