A cracked, stained or too narrow driveway drags down the whole front of the house. A new paver drive or a widened slab gives you room for another car, fixes the eyesore and looks planned from the street.
Driveways in Chandler take a beating from summer heat, heavy trucks and clay soil that shifts after monsoon rain. That is why the part you never see, the compacted subgrade and base, gets most of our attention.

These are the six driveway jobs Chandler homeowners ask us for most. They range from a full paver drive to a simple extension for a third car.
Not every tired driveway needs to be torn out. Sometimes a paver border, a widened side or new rock along the edges is what the front of the house needs.
Extra width for another car, a trailer or easier getting in and out.
Pavers set over a sound driveway slab where the height allows.
A hard surface beside the garage for a boat, a trailer or a work truck.
We look at the cracks and the settling and tell you honestly whether it needs an overlay, an extension or a full tear out.
We measure the drive and any extension area, look at how the old slab has cracked or settled, and check the slope toward the street. Then you get a written driveway price.
We also check where the sprinkler lines run under the edges and how the drive meets the sidewalk. Those two spots cause most of the surprises on a driveway job, so we find them first.
Most of a driveway job is out of sight. The digging and the base are what stop tire ruts and sunken pavers down the road.
A mini skid steer handles the break out and the grading, and the base goes in and gets compacted in layers before any paver or concrete shows up. That order is the same on every driveway installation in Chandler we take on.
Old drive checked, area measured, priced.
Old concrete or rock removed and hauled.
Soil compacted, base built up in layers.
Pavers laid or concrete formed and poured.
Borders set, rock reset, walkthrough.
A new driveway can make tired rock and a patchy strip look worse. It is the right time to redo the walk to the front door and the beds along the drive.
Decorative rock and low water desert plants along the edges keep the front yard clean and meet most HOA landscape rules. A few lights along the drive help at night.
Every driveway is priced from what we see on site, including what is under the old one. These four drive most of the number.
A narrow side extension on open dirt is a short job. A full tear out of an old cracked drive over soft clay is a much bigger one, and your quote will show the difference line by line.
A full drive and a narrow extension are very different jobs.
Breaking out and hauling old concrete is a real part of the cost.
Pavers usually cost more up front than a poured slab.
Soft or poorly compacted soil means more digging and more base rock.

These are the questions Chandler homeowners ask most before a driveway project. Paver strength, extensions and overlays lead the list.
Yes, when the base is built for it. A driveway gets a deeper, heavier base than a patio, and the edges are locked so the pavers cannot creep out under the tires.
Yes. We can add a concrete strip or a paver band alongside it. Pavers are often the easier match, since new concrete rarely matches the color of an old slab.
Many stains clean up, and a paver that will not come clean can be lifted and replaced with a new one. That is much harder to do with a poured slab.
Sometimes. If the slab is solid and there is room at the garage and the sidewalk for the added height, an overlay can work, but a badly cracked or sinking drive comes out.
Pavers can usually take traffic once the joints are sanded and compacted. A new concrete drive needs time to cure first, and we will tell you when it is safe to park on it.
Yes. A pad beside the garage or along the side yard is built like a driveway, with a base sized for the weight it will carry.
