Concrete driveways, patios & steps on Staten Island
Detached homes mean driveways, patios, walkways and steps. On Staten Island, that’s most of what we pour.
Staten Island driveways crack and settle for the same few reasons: a thin slab, a poor base, tree roots, or water running under the concrete. Replacing a driveway the right way means removing the old slab, compacting a proper base, and pitching the new concrete so water drains to the street, not into your garage or basement.
Backyard patios, side walkways and front steps round out most jobs, and on sloped lots in Grymes Hill, Todt Hill and Emerson Hill, steps and retaining walls matter more. We also replace sidewalk flags cited on DOT notices.

Concrete questions in Staten Island
Repair or replace my driveway?
Small, stable cracks can be repaired; widespread cracking, sinking or heaving usually means the base failed and the slab should be replaced.
Can a new driveway fix my wet garage?
Often. Pitching the slab away from the garage and adding drainage can stop water from running in.
Do you remove the old concrete?
Yes. Demolition and haul-away of the old slab are part of a replacement.
