BRZ Construction replaces existing driveways with new concrete when repair is no longer practical. Replacement includes removal of the failed pavement and construction of a new driveway planned around drainage, access, and current vehicle use.
What driveway replacement includes
Replacement is the removal of an existing concrete or asphalt driveway and the construction of a new concrete slab. It is used when cracking, settlement, heaving, or base failure has gone beyond a localized repair.
Who this service is for
Homeowners, residential developers, and home builders who have a driveway that no longer serves the property. It is also used when a property is converting an asphalt drive to concrete.
Typical applications
- Failed residential concrete driveways
- Asphalt driveways being replaced with concrete
- Settled or heaved driveway slabs
- Driveways that no longer drain away from the structure
What the project may involve
- Assessment of the existing driveway and adjacent slabs or walks
- Sawcutting and removal of the existing pavement
- Correction of subgrade or drainage issues that contributed to the failure
- Placement of a new concrete driveway and protection until it can be used
When should a driveway be replaced instead of repaired?
Replacement is the usual discussion when cracks run through most of the slab, panels have settled at different elevations, the surface no longer drains, or previous patches have failed. Repair can still make sense for a single damaged section if the rest of the driveway is sound.

Questions about Concrete Driveway Replacement
When should a concrete driveway be repaired instead of replaced?
Repair can be appropriate when damage is limited to one area and the remaining slab is still performing. Replacement is more practical when the driveway has widespread cracking, movement, or drainage failure.
Can an existing asphalt driveway be replaced with concrete?
Yes. The existing asphalt is removed and a new concrete driveway is constructed. The subgrade should be checked during removal because asphalt failure is often related to base or drainage conditions.
Will the new driveway follow the same layout?
It can, or the layout can be adjusted if drainage, width, or turning movements need to change. Layout decisions should be made before removal so the new slab fits the property.
