Concrete Driveway Construction and Replacement

Plan the driveway as part of the property

A concrete driveway needs to do more than look finished. Vehicle access, drainage, the connection to the street, and the surrounding landscape all affect how the project should be planned. AG & General Construction Inc coordinates concrete driveway construction and replacement in Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade counties.

From our Plantation base, we help property owners define the work before demolition or concrete placement begins. Whether you are replacing an existing driveway or considering a different layout, the starting point is the condition of the site and the approvals that apply.

New driveway or replacement: what changes the scope?

Replacing concrete in the same footprint is different from widening a driveway, changing its slope, or altering the street connection. Existing cracks may also point to conditions that deserve attention beneath the surface. We review the proposed work in context rather than treating every driveway as the same slab.

• Existing pavement removal and disposal, where included
• Base preparation, grades, forming, and drainage coordination
• Concrete placement, finishing, and joint planning
• Protection during curing and coordination of surrounding site restoration

The specifications for the concrete, reinforcement, base, and joints are established for the project and applicable requirements. We do not use a universal slab thickness or promise that concrete will never crack.

Drainage, utilities, and access deserve an early review

Before work starts, identify irrigation, utility routes, drainage features, landscaping, and any access that must remain available. Changes near a sidewalk, swale, or public right-of-way may require additional review. Requirements vary by municipality and property; the appropriate approval path should be confirmed before construction.

Ask how deliveries, parking, and entry to the home will be handled during the work. The timing for walking or driving on new concrete depends on the specified materials and conditions, so follow the project-specific guidance rather than a generic online schedule.

What to share when requesting a consultation

Send photographs of the driveway and its connection to the street, approximate dimensions, and a description of the problem or improvement you have in mind. Mention standing water, damaged areas, a desired expansion, and any HOA restrictions. These details help us identify the right next questions.
