Replace the Cracked Driveway Before It Gets Worse

Durable concrete driveway installation for residential properties in Florida.

You notice the cracks spreading and the edges breaking down. In New Smyrna Beach and surrounding areas, where heat, rain, and vehicle traffic wear on driveways year-round, aging concrete eventually fails and needs replacement. Precision Excavation & Concrete installs reinforced concrete driveways that handle the load, weather, and daily use your home requires while improving curb appeal and property access.


Installation involves removing the old driveway if needed, grading and compacting the base, placing reinforcement, and pouring concrete to the correct thickness and finish. Driveways are designed to handle vehicle weight and Florida weather conditions without cracking prematurely. The surface is finished with a broom texture or smooth trowel depending on your preference, and edges are formed to create clean lines that last.

What You Notice After the Pour Cures

You will see the old driveway removed, the base graded and compacted, and forms set to define the shape and slope of the new surface. In New Smyrna Beach and surrounding areas, attention goes to ensuring the driveway drains toward the street and sits at the correct elevation relative to your garage or entrance. Reinforcement is placed before the pour to reduce cracking from temperature changes and settling.


After the concrete cures, the driveway will be smooth, level, and free of the cracks and low spots that collect water. You will notice a clean finished appearance that improves the look of your property. The surface is strong enough to support vehicle traffic without breaking down at the edges or developing ruts over time.


Concrete driveway installation does not include decorative stamping, staining, or sealing unless added to your project. The result is a durable, properly sloped driveway that provides reliable access and holds up under daily use and Florida weather conditions.

Homeowners usually ask about timing and finish options

Before scheduling a driveway pour, most people want to know how long the work takes, when they can use it, and what finish options are available.

What thickness is used for residential driveways?
Residential driveways are typically poured at four to six inches thick depending on soil conditions and the weight of vehicles using the driveway. Reinforcement is added to reduce cracking and increase longevity.
How long does concrete driveway installation take?

Most residential driveway installations in New Smyrna Beach and surrounding areas are completed in two to three days including removal of the old driveway, base prep, and pouring. Curing time is additional, and you should wait at least seven days before driving on the new surface.

What finish options are available for driveways?
Standard finishes include broom texture for traction and smooth trowel for a cleaner look. Decorative options such as stamping or staining can be added if you want a custom appearance, but they extend the timeline and cost.
Why do driveways crack over time?
Driveways crack due to settling, temperature changes, poor base preparation, or lack of reinforcement. Proper compaction, correct thickness, and steel or fiber reinforcement reduce the likelihood of cracking and extend the life of the concrete.
How should I maintain a new concrete driveway?
You should avoid driving on the driveway for at least seven days after the pour, clean oil stains promptly, and avoid using de-icing chemicals that can damage the surface. Sealing the driveway after it cures adds protection but is not required.
