Had a 12’X55’ driveway poured -

[Patriot]

Finally got our 12‘WX55’L parking pad for our travel trailer poured yesterday. The same guy did our upper and lower driveways when we built our home 12 years ago. He really does great work, finished and sealed. A work in progress, we will finish out with a keystone block wall. 8 yards of concrete more landscaping. It sure beats paying monthly storage fees.

I give you two likes. One for the driveway...one for the sign.

Nice driveway, nice sign! Looks good!

Nice. I got quoted a few months ago on pouring concrete for our driveway and parking pad. Estimate came back at $60. Haha no way! I'll live with the gravel for that price.

Wow, that looks great! I'm thinking of putting in a stamped concrete driveway next year instead of ashphalt. Hoping that if I do all of the prep work myself I can save a few $$. Might still be too costly, we'll see. Congrats, your's looks fantastic!

Thanks, this was extremely reasonable @ $3500.00 I had the crush and run in place so they just leveled a little and framed it up poured, finished and picture framed in 4.5 hrs. Approx 14.7 tons of concrete or 8 yards. They used rebar and wire mesh through out. They will cut contraction joints every 11’ and also 4’ at the corners once it cures a little more. You don’t want to cut green concrete. Concrete cracks eventually and hopefully it will crack in the contraction joints. ??

Stamped is nice, gotta watch out if your in frost heave prone locations. Ground frost can buckle a concrete drive over time. Just a thought...

5' x 50' of paving stones on both sides of asphault also concrete under it so we can park on it also.

Two 3' bricked posts with lights on them at the end of retaining walls.
Plus 7- 12' Leyland Cypress trees planted in back yard.

Thanks! Much appreciated. I have been waiting awhile to get the pad poured, actually since July. The concrete guy is worth the wait.
