Mike Crawford Project

Basement Renovation in Longview, WA

When a homeowner's aging driveway had run its course, they turned to this contractor to start fresh with something built to last. The goal was straightforward: tear out the old, do the groundwork right, and pour a new concrete driveway that would hold up for years to come.

New Driveway

The crew jackhammered out the existing concrete and hauled it away, then dug down four inches, laid gravel, and compacted the base before pouring a reinforced concrete slab complete with rebar, a clean broom finish, and custom-cut control joints. Caution tape went up while the concrete cured, protecting the fresh surface until it was ready to serve the family for the long haul. The finished driveway came out with a smooth, consistent surface and clean expansion joints throughout.
