A Surface Built for Daily Use

You use your driveway more than almost any other surface around your home. Every time you pull in after work, back out in the morning, or park a second vehicle on the side, that slab carries the weight. In Shreveport, older driveways often show their age through cracks that branch across the surface, low spots that hold water after a storm, or edges that crumble when tires roll over them. A driveway that was poured decades ago may no longer match the width or condition your household needs now.

Shreveport Concrete & Patios installs new concrete driveways and performs full tear-out and replacement for residential properties throughout Shreveport. Each project starts with proper base preparation, including grading and compaction, to account for local clay soil conditions and the heat cycles that affect concrete performance in this region. The slab is formed, poured, and finished using techniques designed to handle daily vehicle traffic and long-term wear. Whether your current driveway is cracked beyond repair or you need a wider surface for additional vehicles, the work addresses both the visible problem and the underlying causes.

The process begins with removing the existing concrete, if needed, and preparing the ground beneath it. In Shreveport, this includes addressing soil movement and drainage patterns that may have contributed to earlier failure. The base is graded, compacted, and leveled before forms are set to define the shape and thickness of the new slab. Reinforcement is placed where required, and the concrete is poured, screeded, and finished to create a smooth, durable surface.

Once the driveway cures, you will notice a flat, stable surface free of the cracks, dips, and rough edges that marked the old one. Water runs off instead of pooling in low spots. Tires roll smoothly without catching on broken edges or settled sections. The slab supports the weight of your vehicles without shifting or cracking under load during the first years of use.

Installation typically takes several days depending on size and site conditions. The concrete requires time to cure before vehicles can use the surface. Work includes cleanup and removal of the old material. Projects are completed using methods suited to the local climate and soil behavior common across residential neighborhoods in the area.

Homeowners often ask about timing, thickness, and what happens to the driveway they already have. Here are answers to some of the most common questions before work begins.
