Nashville's Concrete does driveways & aprons for homeowners across Middle Tennessee — licensed, insured, with the price in writing before the work starts. Concrete contractors who compact the base, place the steel and cut the joints — the parts you never see and the reason the slab does not crack.

How driveways & aprons goes, from excavation to curing
A driveway is a base with concrete on top. Compaction in lifts and the right gravel depth decide whether it is flat in fifteen years, and in Middle Tennessee clay that matters more than the mix design does. It is also completely invisible the day after the pour.
Control joints are not decorative. Concrete will crack; the joints decide where. Cut at the right spacing and to a quarter of the slab depth, cracks happen in the joints. Cut late or too shallow, they happen wherever the slab decides.

Garage Slab Problems and What the Code Asks For
A garage floor carries the weight of the cars, the water that drips off them and whatever the ground does underneath. Most of its problems trace back to the base, the joints at the door and one code exemption.

Tree Roots Lifting a Driveway or Sidewalk
Roots do not push concrete up out of spite. They grow where the water is, and the underside of a slab is one of the wettest places in a dry yard.

Why New Concrete Dusts, Flakes or Turns White
The surface of a slab is decided in the first day. Dusting, scaling and efflorescence are each the signature of something that went wrong then, and only one of them is cosmetic.

FAQ
Driveways & Aprons: common questions about base, steel and finish
How thick should a concrete driveway be?
Four inches for cars, five to six where trucks or an RV will sit, with reinforcement and control joints spaced for the slab width. Thickness matters less than the base — four inches of concrete on compacted gravel outlasts six inches on soft clay. The apron at the street is done to the city detail because that is the piece that gets inspected.
How long before I can park on a new driveway?
Walk on it after a day or two, park a car after about a week, and keep heavy vehicles off for a month. Concrete reaches most of its strength in the first week and keeps curing for weeks after, and a car parked on it early leaves a mark that is there for good. The surface is kept damp or sealed in the first days so it cures rather than dries.
