Concrete driveways in LA run $16-$36 per square foot installed and take 5-10 days from excavation to drivable cure. The compacted gravel base under the slab is what determines whether the driveway lasts 30 years or settles in five. The process below covers each phase.
We assess your property, measure the driveway area, evaluate soil conditions, and discuss your design preferences -whether you want a simple gray finish, stamped concrete, or decorative options.
Outcome:
A clear understanding of your project scope and design vision.
Typically within 24-48 business hours, you'll receive an itemized estimate covering excavation, materials, labor, and finishing. We'll also present color and texture options to match your home's style.
Outcome:
A transparent, itemized cost breakdown.
Once approved, we schedule your project and handle any necessary permits. We coordinate delivery of materials and equipment to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Outcome:
A confirmed timeline with all preparations in place.
Our crew removes the old driveway (if applicable) and excavates to the proper depth. We then compact the soil and install a gravel base for proper drainage and stability.
Outcome:
A solid, level foundation that prevents future cracking and settling.
We set wooden or metal forms to define your driveway's shape and edges. Steel rebar or wire mesh is placed to reinforce the concrete and prevent cracking.
Outcome:
Precise boundaries and structural reinforcement for long-lasting durability.
Fresh concrete is poured, spread, and leveled. Our finishers apply your chosen texture -broom finish, stamped pattern, or exposed aggregate -and cut control joints to manage natural expansion.
Outcome:
A smooth, professionally finished surface that matches your design vision.
The concrete cures for 5-7 days under protective covering. Once cured, we apply a quality sealer to protect against stains, moisture, and UV damage.
Outcome:
A protected, long-lasting driveway ready for daily use.
We inspect the finished driveway with you, ensure everything meets Buildda's quality standards, and provide maintenance tips to keep your driveway looking great for years.
Outcome:
Confidence in your new driveway and guidance for ongoing care.
