Key takeaways
- Slope the driveway away from the garage
- Plan the base, steel and joints before pour day
- Choose a finish with traction
- Keep vehicles off until the slab is ready
A driveway is a big project with a few key decisions.
Layout and slope
Decide width, shape and where the water goes. A gentle slope away from the garage keeps puddles and ice off the slab.
Base and steel
Plan the base thickness and reinforcement for the vehicles you drive and for your soil.
Joints and finish
Control joints keep cracks tidy. A broom or textured finish gives traction in winter.
Timing
Pick a weather window and plan where cars will park while the slab cures.
