THE WAY WE DO CONCRETE DRIVEWAY
Every customer has a different need that is why every project is unique with its own demands and challenges requiring personalized solutions. However, mostly concrete driveway project involves the following steps:
Design selection
One of our concrete contractors will arrange a meeting to discuss design choices and requirements. A suitable concrete type, pattern, colour, finish and shape will also be recommended.
Digging and removal
Manual labour and specialized machinery is used to prepare the work area and remove the excavated material from the site.CONSTRUCTION BINS RENTAL SERVICE
Formwork
Depending on the selected design, a temporary mould is created into which fresh concrete is poured and set.
Compacting the gravel
The next step is adding gravel. This will provide proper base for drainage under the concrete. The gravel is then graded and compacted according to the elevation.
Reinforcement
Steel reinforcement is then imbedded into the freshly poured concrete to add strength and eliminate any concrete separation.
Concrete pouring
Concrete is poured into the prepared area with the help of wheelbarrow or concrete truck. The fresh concrete is instantly levelled and then screeded by drawing a straight-edged tool in a back and forth motion across the surface of the wet concrete.
Finishing the concrete
The finishing process and techniques depends on the type of the desired finish.
You can choose:
Regular White Concrete: It is ideal for concrete driveways, patios, walkways, slabs, floors and many other concrete structures. Regular concrete can have a few different finishes, including:
- Broom finish – fine lines are created on the top layer to make a non-slippery surface.
- Hand spin finish– created by hand textured trowelling.
- Smooth finish – top layer is perfectly smoothened using a trowel to create a clean, modern-looking surface.
Coloured Stamped Concrete: A decorative finish commonly used for driveways, patios, sidewalks. Stamped finish is patterned flagstone. Various colours and patterns can be used.
Exposed Aggregate Concrete: The top layer of cement is removed to reveal the small pebbles in the concrete.
Formwork Removal
All the formwork is removed and cleared away.
Cutting control joints
After the concrete has started to harden and cure, cuts are made using a saw to create control joints or they can be hand tooled. These joints act as guides to help cracking follow along the joints and relieve further stresses. This helps in minimizing cracking from developing by compensating for the changes that concrete may go through because of temperature fluctuations and the shrinkage during the curing process.
Washing
Pressure washing is used before sealing the concrete.
Cleaning and tidying
Once all the major construction steps are complete, our team will properly clear the site of any debris and also wash the required areas.CONSTRUCTION BINS RENTAL SERVICE
Sealing the concrete
Depending on the choice of the customer we will provide the Sealer required for the job. Note that Concrete sealers help provide protection to the concrete surface.
We contracted out basement, garage and front porch slabs for two new build houses to Mouris. We are completely satisfied with his work. The job was completed on time even through the weather didn't cooperate. We were really impressed with Mouris's attention to detail. 
Sathy Thurairajah 2023-03-07 Great work! And did it in a rain storm thanks for the outstanding finish. Mitch Christopher 2022-08-29 Mouris and his team tackled this large project for our home and completed it without any sort of hiccup. His workmanship and quality speaks for itself. I did my due diligence when retaining them to complete this job. Pricing is competitive and among the best out there. Do not pay any attention to the fake reviews against his business. It is a clear attempt for scammers to extort money from a reputable business and tarnish his reputation that he worked hard to build. If you dig deep enough to the fake reviews they are not located in Ontario, they post multiple reviews against other businesses aswell. Thank you again Mouris for your professionalism and quality work. D K 2022-08-26 We have done extensive renovations of all kinds on our home, however this company is by far one of the best and most honest we have dealt with. Morris has a knowledge of his work that is incomparable to anyone I have seen. His attention to detail and the professionalism of him and his crew is spot on. I can't say enough good things about him and his company. Any 1 star reviews are obviously hacked and they are demanding money to have them removed. The proof is in his work, and all his clients will gladly provide a verbal review if need, including myself. Danny P 2022-08-19 Recently had my driveway redone. Concreting services gave a very good finished product. No shortcuts everything looks amazing. Would highly recommend Ben D 2022-08-18 We’re happy we chose Concreting Services for our project. Mouris did a fantastic job, and was easy to work with. We wanted to relocate our stairs and make a walkway to the driveway. Mouris provided a detailed plan and quote and gave us a timeline. He was reliable, responsive and did an excellent job with the concrete work. Highly recommend working with him! Jennifer Will 2022-07-26 Mouris is professional, friendly and very reliable. Great work. Mark Newnham 2022-07-18 We contracted concrete work for our patio and underpinning for a multi sport court. From the enquiry to finish, Mouris was always very responsive, punctual, diligent and ever so helpful. He did more than we asked for, including assisting with some maintenance that was clearly outside of the original scope. We are extremely happy with the result and will definitely hire Concreting Services again for future projects. Highly highly recommend! BYN 2022-07-14 Mouris does excellent work. Professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. He was always readily available for questions and concerns leading up to the project. Mouris even honoured his costing quote from 2021. Not many specialists would do that...Great job Mouris...our family thanks you!! Bradley McMurray 2022-06-17 Great job by the team and always connecting with the client! Mouris took the time to make sure all details were done properly and we were really happy with both projects. They look amazing! Def. recommend the company! Mariana Loero 2022-06-17
