Prep & Excavation

We remove old concrete, grade the sub-base to ensure proper drainage, and compact a crushed gravel foundation. Rebar or fiber mesh is set in place for reinforcement.

Precision Pour

Using high-strength Wisconsin-rated concrete mix, we pour to exact grade. Proper control joints are cut to manage natural expansion and prevent cracking through freeze-thaw cycles.

Concrete Driveway & Patio FAQs

Straight answers to the questions Milwaukee-area homeowners ask us most.

How much does a new concrete driveway cost in the Milwaukee area?
It depends on the square footage, whether the old surface needs tear-out and hauling, the thickness required, and the finish you choose — a broom finish costs less than stamped or exposed aggregate. Because every site is different, we give free written on-site estimates so you get a real number for your driveway, not a guess.
How long before I can drive on new concrete?
You can typically walk on new concrete after 24–48 hours, park a passenger vehicle on it after about 7 days, and it reaches its full design strength at around 28 days. We'll give you exact guidance for your pour based on weather and mix.
How long does a concrete driveway last in Wisconsin?
A properly built concrete driveway — correct sub-base compaction, air-entrained mix, reinforcement, control joints, and sealing — commonly lasts 25–30+ years even through Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles. Skipping the prep work is what causes driveways to fail in under a decade.
What time of year can you pour concrete in Wisconsin?
The main pouring season in southeastern Wisconsin generally runs from spring through late fall, when ground and air temperatures allow proper curing. Spring slots fill up fast, so it's smart to get your estimate scheduled early in the year.
Should I repair or replace my cracked driveway?
Small surface cracks can sometimes be sealed, but widespread cracking, heaving at the joints, or crumbling edges usually mean the sub-base has failed — and patches on a failed base don't last. In those cases a full tear-out and replacement is the better long-term investment. We'll tell you honestly which situation you have during the free estimate.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — A & L General Home Improvements LLC is a licensed contractor carrying liability and workers' compensation coverage on every project, for both our concrete work and interior remodeling.
