Driveways poured to carry vehicle loads over expansive clay soil — sized, reinforced, and jointed for Santa Barbara's older neighborhoods.
Driveways poured to carry vehicle loads over expansive clay soil — sized, reinforced, and jointed for Santa Barbara's older neighborhoods.
We check apron transitions and grade before pouring — many older properties in the Riviera and San Roque neighborhoods have narrow aprons and steep grades that affect slope and drainage placement.
Poured at 5 to 6 inches over 4 inches of compacted Class II base, with a 3,500 to 4,000 psi mix and #4 rebar on 18-inch centers, or welded wire mesh for lighter-duty applications.
Control joints go in every 10 feet to direct shrinkage cracking. Vehicles stay off the surface for 7 days minimum, with full design strength reached at 28 days.
A residential driveway carries vehicle loads that a patio never sees, so we pour thicker and reinforce accordingly. Replacement work starts with demolition and haul-off of the existing slab, and we handle right-of-way permitting for apron work within the public parkway.
Santa Barbara's expansive clay soil is the leading cause of driveway cracking in the area — our base preparation accounts for the moisture-driven soil movement common across the Mesa, Riviera, and San Roque neighborhoods.
5 to 6 inches over 4 inches of compacted Class II base — thicker than a patio slab because of the vehicle loads it carries.
Santa Barbara's expansive clay soils shift with moisture, which is the leading cause of slab cracking in the area — our base preparation and control joint spacing account for that movement.
Yes, work within the public parkway generally requires right-of-way permitting, which we handle as part of the project.
7 days minimum for vehicle traffic, with full design strength at 28 days.
