StoneForge Paving & Masonry pours concrete driveways that are strong, clean-looking and low maintenance. Every pour is set on a compacted base with reinforcement and carefully placed control joints to reduce cracking and keep the surface looking sharp.
Concrete gives a bright, smooth surface that needs very little upkeep. It can be left with a classic broom finish for grip, or upgraded with exposed aggregate, stamped patterns or colored finishes to add character to your home’s entrance.
We pour concrete driveways in Stamford, Greenwich and Norwalk. Related services include driveway aprons, concrete patios and walkways and drainage solutions.
Finish options include broom finish, exposed aggregate, stamped concrete and integral color, with borders or saw-cut details to break up large areas.
Cost depends on the driveway size, removal of the existing surface, base preparation, slab thickness and reinforcement, the finish selected and any drainage work. We give a clear written estimate after visiting your property.
Careful preparation and proper curing are what make a concrete driveway last.
Answers about curing time, finishes and long-term care for concrete driveways.
Concrete gains strength over several weeks. Most driveways can take foot traffic after a day or two and passenger cars after about a week; we confirm the timing based on the weather during your pour.
All concrete can develop fine cracks as it shrinks and moves. Control joints, reinforcement and a compacted base keep cracking to planned lines and help prevent structural cracks.
Sealing helps protect the surface from de-icing salt and stains, especially on stamped or colored concrete. We will recommend when to apply the first coat.
A smooth stamped surface can be slick when wet, so we can add a slip-resistant additive to the sealer on driveways and walks.
It can be, with precautions such as insulated blankets and adjusted mixes, but concrete should never be poured on frozen ground. Spring through fall is the ideal window in Connecticut.
