Frequently Asked Questions
Will my concrete crack?
›Yes; all concrete cracks as a natural part of the shrinking/curing process. The relief cuts (joints) put in the concrete are an attempt to minimize the amount of cracking in a slab.
What is the average cost for a concrete driveway?
›Averaging out the cost of concrete driveway installation in Grand Rapids, MI depends, as there are many factors to consider. Things like the size of the driveway and the depth you're looking to have poured, along with the amount of concrete needed, all are factors in determining the price of a new driveway.
How long does it take to install a new concrete driveway?
›The time it takes for a concrete driveway installation in Grand Rapids, MI depends on the size of the project. Barker concrete asks that you give us a call and we can provide you with a timetable.
Do I need a gravel base for my concrete driveway?
›It is recommended, but often when removing an old driveway you won't find gravel underneath. Gravel facilities water moving under the concrete without impacting the base on which is rests. For an additional cost, we can excavate the base as required to make space for gravel to be brought in.
Will you tear out the existing driveway and haul away previous materials?
›We are one of the concrete driveway companies in Grand Rapids, MI that does offer removal and hauling services on our jobs! We do everything we can to take the responsibility off of your shoulders.
Do I need wire mesh in my concrete driveway?
›No, but reinforcement such as wire and concrete fiber add to the tensile strength and reduce cracking.
Is it safe to put salt on my driveway?
›Our concrete contractors in Grand Rapids, MI do not recommend putting salt on a concrete surface such as a driveway. The salt can damage your driveway over time due to corrosion occurring underneath the surface.
