The Driveway Replacement Process: A Guide from Ascent Concrete Solutions

If your driveway in or around Amherst, Lorain, Avon, or Avon Lake is showing its age, replacing it with the expert team at Ascent Concrete Solutions ensures durability and style. Here’s how we handle the process:

  1. Assessment: We start by evaluating the condition of your driveway, looking for cracks, drainage issues, or sinking. Once we determine replacement is necessary, the project begins.

  2. Demolition and Removal: The existing driveway is broken up and hauled away, clearing the space for the new concrete. “Efficiency is key during this phase,” says Keith O’Berg Sr. “Our goal is to get your property ready for the new pour quickly and cleanly.”

  3. Preparation: Proper preparation is the foundation of a long-lasting driveway. After the old concrete is removed, we install a solid gravel base. This step ensures stability, proper drainage, and reduces the risk of future cracking or sinking—essential in areas like Avon, Sheffield Lake, and Avon Lake, where winter freeze-thaw cycles can be erratic and harsh.

  4. Forming: Wooden forms are then set up to shape your new driveway to match the design and dimensions you desire. Whether you’re looking for something simple or more elaborate, we can customize the forms to your specific needs.

  5. Pouring and Finishing: The new concrete is poured with precision, and we pay close attention to details like smoothing and finishing. Keith O’Berg Jr. emphasizes, “We treat every driveway like a showcase piece. The finishing touches are what set our work apart.” In Lorain, where we’ve done countless residential projects, homeowners have come to expect nothing less than perfection.

  6. Sealing: Once the concrete cures, some homeowners ask us to apply a high-quality sealant to protect your driveway from weather, moisture, and wear, ensuring it holds up against northeast Ohio’s tough climate.

At Ascent Concrete Solutions, we combine decades of experience with a deep commitment to quality. Whether you’re in Amherst, Lorain, Avon, Avon Lake, or anywhere in and around Lorain County, our team is ready to guide you through the process and deliver a driveway that looks great and lasts for years.
