Concrete Driveway Contractor in Rainier, WA

Mostly because of what's under them. Clay and wet soils lose support when they stay saturated through a long winter, and a thin gravel base lets the slab settle unevenly. Greg digs out soft ground, builds a compacted base, and slopes the driveway so rain runs off instead of soaking in at the edges.

Length and width, how much old material has to come out, the digging and base rock your soil needs, thickness and steel for your vehicles, and the finish. Long rural drives and tight access change the picture too. Greg prices it on site for free, so you get a number for your driveway rather than a guess.

Walking on it comes first, and cars and especially trucks have to wait longer while the concrete gains strength. Cool, wet weather slows the cure, so Greg tells you when it's safe based on the conditions during your pour.

Often, yes. If one section has sunk or broken and the rest is sound, Greg can cut it out at the joints and pour a new section tied into the existing slab. If the base under the whole drive is failing, he'll tell you full replacement is the better spend.

Yes. On rural property it's common to keep the long gravel drive and pour concrete only near the garage or shop, where turning tires do the most damage. Greg sizes the apron to the doors and the vehicles using it.
