Arvada Concrete Contractors
Project Overview: Driveway, Sidewalk, Steps, and Patio Replacement
Demolition and Site Preparation:
This Arvada Concrete Driveway and Front Entrance Replacement project began with the demolition of the existing concrete driveway, sidewalk, steps, and front deck. Despite encountering minor equipment issues, the crew efficiently completed the demolition in approximately three and a half hours. A skid steer and jackhammers were used for the driveway, sidewalk, and stoop, while hand tools were utilized for the deck demolition.
Once the demolition was complete, the crew focused on preparing the base and installing forms for the new concrete installations. Three to four inches of Class 6 DOT road base were installed to provide a solid foundation for the driveway, sidewalk, steps, and patio. The road base was compacted, and forms were constructed to ensure proper dimensions and alignment.
For this concrete pour, the crew formed the driveway, front sidewalk / steps, stoop and front patio for a consistent 4″ pour.
Reinforcement and Foundation Considerations:
To reinforce the concrete, #3 rebar was installed in a grid pattern, spaced every two feet on center. The reinforcement grid was lifted two inches using chairs to position it in the middle of the four-inch pour.
The homeowner’s existing foundation issues, caused by improper drainage, were addressed. The downspout was replaced to ensure proper water diversion, and the drainage system was repaired to prevent blockages. These improvements were essential to protect the foundation and ensure the longevity of the new concrete installations.
Concrete Pour and Finishing:
The project was completed in two days. On the second day, the crew finalized preparations, adjusted forms, and ensured all reinforcement was securely in place. The grid was dowelled into the existing garage floor and foundation.
Concrete was delivered to the site at 11:30 AM and poured promptly. The crew efficiently completed the entire project, including the driveway, sidewalk, stoop, and patio, by 3 PM. The site was thoroughly cleaned by 4 PM, ensuring a timely completion.
Denver Concrete Inc.’s Approach:
At Denver Concrete Inc., we prioritize quality and efficiency in every project. We use #3 rebar and 4500 psi concrete for added strength and durability. We also require a 30-day curing period for all new concrete installations to ensure optimal structural integrity.
Additional Considerations:
- Drainage: Proper drainage is crucial for preventing future damage to concrete and foundations.
- Foundation Issues: Addressing underlying foundation problems is essential for long-lasting results.
- Efficiency: Our team is dedicated to completing projects efficiently while maintaining high standards of quality.

Day 2
Day Two: Project Completion
On the second day of the project, the crew finalized preparations by adjusting forms and ensuring all reinforcement was securely in place. The grid was dowelled into the existing garage floor and the foundation adjacent to the driveway, sidewalk, stoop, and front patio.
Addressing Drainage and Foundation Issues:
The homeowner’s previous concrete installations had experienced issues due to improper drainage. Water had been diverted into the foundation, causing cracking and settling. To address these problems, the following steps were taken:
- Downspout Replacement: The downspout was replaced to ensure proper drainage into the channel drain.
- Drainage System Repair: The blocked drainage system was repaired to prevent water from entering the foundation.
- Foundation Repair: Based on an engineer’s recommendation, the homeowner decided to replace the concrete foundation to improve drainage and protect the structure.
Efficient Project Execution:
The crew was able to complete the entire project, including driveway, sidewalk, stoop, and patio, in just two days. This efficient timeline allowed for minimal disruption to the homeowner’s daily routine.
Concrete Specifications and Quality:
- Reinforcement: #3 rebar was used for reinforcement, providing added strength and durability.
- Concrete Mix: A 4500 psi concrete mix was used to ensure long-lasting performance.
- Curing: The concrete was allowed to cure for 30 days to reach optimal strength and durability.
Denver Concrete Inc.’s Commitment to Quality:
- Warranty: All driveways are backed by a 12-month warranty against major cracking and heaving.
- Expertise: Denver Concrete Inc. is a preferred concrete contractor in Arvada, with extensive experience in various residential and commercial projects.
- Customer Satisfaction: The homeowner’s previous positive experience with Denver Concrete Inc. for a deck project led them to choose us for this project.
Additional Considerations:
- Vehicle Restrictions: To protect the new concrete, vehicles were prohibited from driving on the driveway and garage floor for 30 days during the curing process.
- Magnesium Chloride Protection: A sealant was applied to the concrete to help protect against damage caused by magnesium chloride, a common de-icer in Colorado.
By choosing Denver Concrete Inc., homeowners can be confident in the quality and durability of their concrete installations. Our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction sets us apart as a trusted partner in the concrete industry.
