Concrete Driveway Replacement in Derby, KS
Wichita Concrete Pros replaces concrete driveways and flatwork in Derby, Kansas, a Sedgwick County suburb on the southeast edge of the metro near McConnell Air Force Base. We are a licensed and insured concrete contractor. We tear out and repour driveways, patios, sidewalks, steps, and garage slabs across town.
Much of Derby is newer construction. Streets were platted out of farm ground for military families and the USD 260 schools, then built on while the clay was still moving. That ground was cut and graded first. A driveway poured on loose fill drops as the clay settles, and one sunken corner pulls a crack straight across the slab. Joint spacing and a stable base matter most on these young lots.
A replacement starts with the old slab out and hauled off. We compact the subgrade and lay four to six inches of crushed stone, then pour four inches of 4000 PSI air-entrained concrete over it, thicker where a truck or RV parks. Wire mesh or rebar holds the slab tight as one piece. We saw-cut control joints about every ten feet so any crack lands on a straight line, and we pitch the surface about a quarter inch per foot so water runs off instead of under.
Our work in Derby runs from driveway replacement to garage and shop floor slabs and sidewalks and approach walks. Call (316) 555-0148 for a free written estimate in Derby.
