THE GROUND
Freeze-Thaw Protection System
Built for Connecticut Winters
Connecticut gets many freezes and thaws each year. First, water seeps into concrete. Next, it freezes and expands. This pushes the surface apart and causes flaking. We use three steps to stop this.
1. Air-entrained mix.
Microscopic Freeze Protection
Air-entrained mix. Tiny air pockets give frozen water room to expand.
2. Deep stone base.
4-6" Compacted Aggregate
Deep stone base. We pack at least 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone under every slab. This helps keep the ground from lifting the concrete.
3. Sealer.
Water & Road Salt Barrier
Sealer. A clear sealer blocks water and road salt from soaking in.
Control Joint Protection: Also, we cut control joints in every slab. This means any crack forms in a neat line, not across your driveway.

Local Homeowner FAQs
Concrete Questions We Hear in Coventry, CT
How much does concrete cost in Coventry, CT?
Plain broom-finish concrete costs less than stamped or colored concrete. The final price depends on the dig, the base, and the design. We give you an exact price after a free visit.
How do you stop concrete from cracking in the cold?
We pack a deep stone base first. Next, we use an air-entrained mix and add steel bars. Then we cut control joints, so cracks form in neat lines. Last, we seal the surface.
Do I need a permit for a patio or driveway in Coventry?
A simple patio or walkway often needs no permit. A foundation or a driveway apron at a town road usually does. Call the Coventry building office to be sure. We can help you with the forms.
How long until I can use new concrete?
You can walk on it in 1 to 2 days. Wait 7 days before parking a car. Wait 28 days before heavy trucks. This gives the concrete time to reach full strength.
Do you give free estimates?
Yes. We visit your site, measure, and give you a written price. There is no cost and no pressure.
How soon can you start my project?
It depends on the season and the job. Spring and summer fill up first. Call early for the best dates.
