Question 3

How much does a concrete driveway cost?

Accepted Answer

Project cost depends on size, soil conditions, access, finish type, and any demolition work. We provide free on-site estimates with detailed written quotes. See our pricing factors page for more detail.

Question 4

What is included in your quote?

Accepted Answer

Our quotes include everything: excavation, sub-base preparation, forming, reinforcement, concrete material and delivery, pouring, finishing, control joints, form removal, cleanup, and permits where required. The price quoted is the price paid.

Question 5

Why does concrete crack in Eastern Idaho?

Accepted Answer

Frost heave, soil expansion, and uneven settling cause cracking when sub-base preparation is inadequate. Proper compacted gravel base, appropriate slab thickness, and control joints help minimize cracking. See our guide on concrete cracking for more detail.

Question 6

Do you offer stamped and colored concrete?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer over 10 stamp patterns and a wide range of integral and surface-applied colors. Stamped concrete gives you the look of stone, brick, or slate without the shifting and weed growth that pavers experience in this climate.

Question 7

What is the difference between stamped concrete and pavers?

Accepted Answer

Stamped concrete is a single monolithic slab with a decorative pattern pressed into the surface. Pavers are individual units set on a sand base. In Eastern Idaho's freeze-thaw climate, pavers shift, settle, and allow weed growth between joints. Stamped concrete stays in place. We do not install pavers.

Question 8

How long does a concrete project take?

Accepted Answer

Project timelines depend on size, complexity, and weather. A standard driveway typically takes 2–5 days of active work after preparation is complete. Stamped and colored projects require additional finishing time. We provide a written timeline with every approved quote.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Yes. We remove and replace cracked or damaged concrete. Demolition, hauling, and disposal are included in the project quote.
