The cost of the new driveway and the work required will be determined by where it is located. First, excavate your ground to create a path. This involves removing any stumps, bushes or trees. Next, the driveway contractor graded the area, creating a level surface to allow concrete or asphalt to be applied. A sub-base should be placed by driveway contractors of compacted gravel (4-8 inches) depending on the soil. Next, concrete or asphalt may then be poured. The driveway contractor should recommend the correct sealant for your climate. They will also advise you on the curing process.

After the concrete has set for five minute, you can apply a nonslip sealant with a wide-head concrete scrubber. If you want a uniform look, continue to move the broom around the work area. Make sure that every stroke is directed in the exact same direction.
