01
Deciding on a new driveway
A new slab can replace loose gravel, create a second parking space or finish the approach to a recently built house. Concrete usually costs more initially than asphalt, but needs no asphalt-style sealcoating; asphalt is less expensive to install and easier to patch, although it needs ongoing surface maintenance.
02
From layout to finished parking surface
The visible finish is only one part of the job. Ask a participating local contractor to explain these stages before comparing proposals:
- Measure parking needs, locate utilities and check local entrance requirements
- Excavate unsuitable material and identify clay or other weak ground
- Place and compact a stone foundation with a clear drainage route
- Set forms, specified reinforcement and isolation joints beside existing structures
- Pour an exterior air-entrained mix, texture it and establish control joints
- Protect the slab during curing and confirm the vehicle-return schedule
03
Specify the slab beneath the finish
Passenger-car driveways often use a four-inch slab, while heavier vehicles may call for five or six inches or an engineered design. Thickness alone cannot compensate for soft ground: southeastern Pennsylvania clay needs careful evaluation, drainage and a consistently compacted base.
Request written details for reinforcement, base preparation and joint spacing. Control joints encourage shrinkage cracks to follow planned lines, but cannot eliminate every crack.

Details that matter around Montgomery County
A restrained broom finish can complement older stone and brick homes in Lower Merion, Ardmore and Bryn Mawr. In Blue Bell or Collegeville subdivisions, driveway widening should also account for landscaping, drainage and any HOA approval needed before work.
Freeze-thaw winters and tracked-in road salt make air entrainment, curing and suitable sealing important. Permit and curb-cut requirements vary by township and borough; check with your township or borough before changing an entrance.
05
Budgeting for the complete job
For general planning, a plain concrete driveway may run roughly $9–$15 per square foot; removal, difficult access and drainage changes can raise that range. Decorative work costs more. The final price comes from the contractor's on-site quote, which should identify excavation, hauling and finish allowances.
06
Compare the written scope
- Does the proposal identify slab thickness and the prepared stone base?
- Who confirms local approvals and arranges utility marking?
- Where will runoff go during a heavy storm?
- What curing restrictions and first-winter care are recommended?
- Are demolition, haul-away and restoration included?
