Project Type and Size
A short walkway is a different job than a driveway replacement with tear-out. Square footage matters, but so do thickness, shape, access for equipment, and whether forms need to step down a slope. Driveways need structural thickness for vehicle loads; patios may need more finishing work.
Site Prep and Removal
- Removing old concrete, pavers or failing flatwork
- Excavation and grading, especially on sloped lake-area lots
- Compacted base material
- Drainage: keeping water away from the house and off neighboring ground
- Access: can a truck reach the forms, or does concrete need to be moved by buggy or wheelbarrow?
Access Affects Labor
When the pour site is behind a house or down a slope, concrete may have to be moved by buggy over plywood, which takes more time than a direct chute pour.
Reinforcement, Joints and Thickness
Rebar or mesh, the thickness of the slab, and the control-joint layout all affect material and labor. Cutting corners here is how random cracks show up.
Finish and Color
A standard broom finish is the baseline. Smooth borders, exposed aggregate, integral color, stamped patterns and sealers each add labor and material.
Timing and Weather
North Carolina summer heat and fast afternoon thunderstorms affect pour scheduling, curing and finishing. A flexible schedule helps get the pour done under good conditions.
