Built for slope and drainage
A lot of Maple Ridge properties slope from the street down to the garage, which means drainage and grade have to be right before a single yard of concrete goes down — get it wrong and you end up with pooling, ice patches in winter, or water running toward the house instead of away from it.
We grade and slope every driveway to move water where it should go, then reinforce with rebar or mesh sized to the driveway's use (a daily-driver family driveway and one that sees a work truck aren't built the same).
What's involved
Excavation and grading, forming, reinforcement, the pour itself, finish work (broom, stamped, or exposed aggregate), and control joints placed to manage cracking as the concrete cures and shifts with the seasons. We'll also walk through cure time and load restrictions before you're back to parking on it.
Common Questions — Maple Ridge
How long before I can park on a new concrete driveway?+
Concrete is typically safe for light foot traffic within a couple of days, but needs about a week before regular vehicle traffic and closer to a month to reach full strength. We'll give you exact timing for your specific mix and weather conditions.
Do I need a permit for a new driveway in Maple Ridge?+
It depends on whether the work affects drainage, the boulevard, or the curb cut — we check this against your specific property during the consultation, before anything is quoted.
What's the difference between broom finish, stamped, and exposed aggregate?+
Broom finish is the standard, most affordable option with a slip-resistant texture. Stamped concrete mimics the look of pavers or stone at a lower cost. Exposed aggregate shows the natural stone within the concrete for a more decorative, textured finish. Cost and maintenance go up as you move from broom to decorative finishes.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Maple Ridge?+
It depends on driveway size, slope, excavation needs, reinforcement, and finish choice — a flat broom-finished driveway and a sloped, stamped one aren't priced the same. A free on-site estimate is the most accurate way to get a number.
