Centerville Driveway Replacement and Side Concrete Installation

This project in Centerville involved clearing the old, settling driveway along with the adjacent grass and gravel along the side of the house. The area was prepared thoroughly to allow for new concrete work that extends from the front driveway, around the side of the home, maintaining access and accommodating existing flower and tree boxes next to the house. The site prep included demolition, grading, and compacting the subgrade to ensure a stable base for the new concrete.

The finished work shows a clean, smooth concrete driveway with well-defined control joints and proper alignment around the landscaping features. This upgrade improves the home's curb access and durability under use while providing a clear, low-maintenance surface, which also helps prevent future settling and drainage issues.
