Jeff N. says, " We recently bought our first home out in Irvine about 6 months ago. It was ready to move in except for the backyard which was in pretty rough shape. My wife has always wanted a pool so a friend recommended Dreamscapes to us. Our pool and surrounding landscape was completed last Thursday and I must say they exceeded our expectations. The two main things I was really impressed with was that they keep us involved every step of the way, which helped keep us within budget and their utilization of the backyard space. They yard is about 8,000 sq ft which is not huge but they did a really nice job of putting the pool in and some landscaped trimming. Thanks again guys!" Read more

Your Concrete Driveway Contractors questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much does a concrete driveway cost?

The average cost of a concrete driveway can range from $4 to $8 per square foot, depending on various factors. This means that for a standard 2-car driveway sized from 400 to 576 square feet, the total cost can be anywhere from $1,600 to $4,600.

The exact price of a concrete driveway can vary based on the size of the project, the complexity of the design, the quality of the concrete used, and the labor costs in your local area. Additional factors that can impact the overall cost include site preparation, excavation, reinforcement materials, and any necessary permits or inspections. It's always a good idea to get multiple quotes from reputable contractors to ensure you get the best value for your money.

How much does a concrete driveway cost per yard?

A basic concrete driveway typically costs $35 to $100 per cubic yard on average, while high-end concrete driveways with decorative elements, designs, borders, or stains can cost $160 to $225 per cubic yarddue to the labor involved.

How long does it take to pour a concrete driveway?

Pouring a concrete driveway typically takes 1 to 3 days on average, depending on the size and complexity of the project. The actual pouring process itself usually takes 1 to 2 days, with the first day spent preparing the site and pouring the concrete, and the second day used for finishing touches and allowing the concrete to cure. However, the total project timeline is often longer, as excavation of the old driveway or preparing the site can add an additional 1 to 2 days to the schedule.

The total time to pour a concrete driveway can vary based on several factors. Larger driveways or those with intricate shapes and designs will naturally take longer to pour and finish than a simple rectangular driveway. Site conditions like the slope of the land or accessibility for concrete trucks can also impact the timeline. Weather is another important consideration, as rain or extreme temperatures can delay pouring and curing. Homeowners should plan for a 3 to 5 day project from start to finish, with the actual pouring taking place over 1 to 2 of those days.

How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?

After the concrete is poured, it typically takes 24 to 48 hours for the surface to cure enough to be walked on. However, the concrete will still be quite soft and vulnerable during this initial curing period. It's important to keep the area clear of foot traffic as much as possible to prevent damage.

Once the initial 24 to 48 hour curing period has passed, the concrete will continue to strengthen over the next 7 to 10 days. During this time, the driveway can support the weight of passenger vehicles, but it's best to avoid parking or driving on it as much as possible. For heavier vehicles like large pickup trucks, RVs, or commercial trucks, it's recommended to wait a full 30 days before using the driveway to ensure the concrete has fully cured and hardened. Rushing use of the driveway before the proper curing time can lead to cracking, pitting, or other damage.

What questions should I ask a concrete driveway installer?

Asking these questions will help ensure you find the right professional to install a concrete driveway that will last for many years:

  • What strength concrete will be used for my driveway?
  • What type of reinforcement will you be installing with my driveway?
  • What base and how much will you be laying under my driveway?
  • How often do you install control joints?
  • What will you be sealing my driveway with and when?
  • How much experience do you have?
  • Are you insured and licensed?

How do I choose a concrete driveway installer?

Here are some steps to follow to choose a concrete driveway installer:

  • Shop around and get quotes from multiple concrete contractors. Compare their experience, services, and pricing.
  • Ask for references and check the contractors' business profiles to verify their reputation and quality of past work.
  • Ensure the contractor is properly licensed, insured, and has 5 to 10 years of experience installing concrete driveways.
  • Get a detailed written contract that specifies the project timeline, materials, costs, and any warranties.
  • Consider factors beyond just the lowest price, such as the contractor's expertise, communication, and ability to meet your timeline.
  • Factor in the concrete curing and drying time when planning your project timeline, and be flexible on scheduling if needed.

Recent success stories from people in the Santa Ana area.
Alex N.
I am the owner of a 16 unit apartment complex here in Mission Viejo. We have a pool here ever since we purchased the property in 2008. However, it was never used and gotten quite dilapidated. The tile started to chip away and the flooring was becoming powdery from exposure to the weather. A friend of ours had used Dreamscapes to build the pool at their home so we gave them a call to see if they could help. They initially came out for the estimate and gave us some great ideas that would bring the recreational area to life. They proposed some cost effective landscaping to accent the pool that gave the place a whole new look. All the tiling was redone, inlets and outlets were replaced, and they even removed the awful diving board. The project was completed last Friday and our tenants there can't stop giving us compliments. I've never seen so many of our tenants out and about as I did this past weekend. Great Job Dreamscapes, keep up the good work.
