Some Things You Should Know
Some Things You Should Know
Please Note
- Avoid exposing concrete to any deicing products . The deicing chemicals, from the snow and ice, collect in the fender of vehicles and drip onto the concrete when the vehicle is parked. It’s best that snow and ice is removed from the concrete periodically to try to prevent any spalling that could occur.
- Fresh concrete will always look much darker than when it is fully cured and dry. Please allow ample time for the concrete to dry. It’s best to wait at least 24 hours before walking on the concrete and at least 7-10 days before vehicle traffic. For extra protection it is recommended that concrete sealer be applied 30 days after driveway installation.

We are proud to always maintain positive relationships with our clients. We will work with you to improve the hardscape of your home and give you the driveway or patio of your dreams.
Sub-Grade
A true contractor will never pour flat-work directly onto sod or dirt. All of the moisture in the soil will cause the concrete to heave, shift, settle, crack and scale. Seitz & Sons removes all of the sod/dirt and replaces it with a minimum of 2-4" of crushed compacted limestone.
Thickness
Seitz & Sons pours all concrete at a minimum of 4" thick. This is the standard thickness of most concrete surfaces including but not limited to; driveways, sidewalks and patios. Concrete poured under 4" thick will have less integrity and is prone to cracking.
Joints
The expansion or contraction joints can either be cut by hand or with a saw.
These joints separate concrete slabs into squares or rectangles to help control cracks.
