Mr. Driveway ensures your sub-grade is correct and ready for concrete placement because your concrete is only as solid as the ground it is sitting on.  We utilize a rock base and thoroughly compact it to avoid settling and shifting after your concrete is poured. Mr. Driveway will set the benchmarks and forms to make sure water will drain correctly. Unenforced concrete driveways or use of fiber-mesh in the mix are common practices in this area, however, we recommend and utilize steel reinforcement, this provides you the most structural integrity for your driveway and in the event, you get a crack, it will hold everything together and keep the crack to a minimum. When we are ready to pour, we only pour high-quality mix design.  The mixes we always pour will meet or exceed industry standards for comprehensive strength and air entrapment.  Weather conditions, temperature, and humidity can have a significant impact on how a concrete mix will behave.  Our experience allows us to work closely with our suppliers to tweak the mixes and ensure they will act how we want them to while we are finishing. Mr. Driveway will incorporate proper finishing techniques while doing everything possible to control and prevent cracking.  “Shrinkage cracking” occurs in all concrete when it becomes hard or hydrates and moisture evaporates.  We attempt to control where concrete is going to crack by installing proper control joints, zip strips &/or saw cuts in predetermined locations to give it a place to crack and better maintain a driveways aesthetics.  In extreme weather, we will use a chemical barrier to hold moisture in, preventing it from evaporating too rapidly.  This minimizes the chances of a crack occurring while the concrete is still setting up (plastic shrinkage cracking). After the job has been poured, we will educate you on what to expect and how to properly maintain your new investment.
