Proper prior preparation ensures that the driveway is ready for the concrete when it arrives. The first thing a paving company does is ensure that its concrete is consistent. They will then inspect the gravel to ensure it is suitable to pour concrete. They will then construct forms and lay them on the sides of the driveway to contain the concrete and prevent any overflow. The paving company will then start pouring the concrete on the driveway. The paving company pours concrete into sections. After each section, the concrete pourers spread it out and flatten it. The paving company workers spread the concrete with a flat wooden plank or power tools. Concrete sets fast, hence the need to screed it with speed. After pouring the concrete, the paving company applies a curing agent that will slow-dry the concrete. The new concrete driveway needs a week to ten days before use. When it is set and cured, the company removes the forms, and the driveway is ready for use.
