A concrete driveway carries cars every day and sheds about 49 to 51 inches of rain a year around Monroe. Over time, cracks spread and sections sink. Georgia Premier Contracting Group is a concrete contractor serving Monroe and the towns around it. We pour new concrete driveways and replace old ones, whether the old driveway is concrete or asphalt.
Some driveways need replacing, and some just need more room. We pour driveway extensions and parking pads, plus aprons and turnarounds. A broom finish is the standard surface, and stamped and colored finishes are options. Call or text (770) 743-6706 for a free quote in writing.

Some cracking is normal in any concrete driveway. Concrete shrinks as it hardens, and joints give those cracks a planned line. Concrete trade guidance says early random cracks rarely shorten a slab's service life.
Sinking is a different problem. When the soil under a section settles or washes out, that section drops and breaks. When most of the driveway has sunk or broken up, driveway replacement usually makes more sense.
Census estimates put the median build year for homes in Monroe at 1979. On a home that age, the driveway may be cracked original concrete or worn asphalt. Either one can come out to make way for a new concrete driveway.
Georgia law calls for a Georgia 811 locate request before anyone digs with powered equipment. The request goes in at least 3 business days ahead, so utilities can mark their lines. On a replacement, the old driveway is broken out and hauled off as part of our debris removal work.
Next comes the base, prepared as part of the pour. USDA soil surveys put most of Monroe on well-drained red clay under a thin sandy loam topsoil. Trade guidance calls for removing topsoil and soft spots, then compacting the soil under the slab. The forms set the edges and a slope that sheds rain.
Joints are cut or tooled into the slab so shrinkage cracks follow a planned line. Trade guidance spaces them about 10 feet apart on a 4-inch slab, with panels close to square. A broom finish gives tires and shoes better grip. Curing then keeps the concrete moist while it gains strength, typically for 3 to 7 days.
A driveway extension widens a narrow driveway so two cars fit side by side. A parking pad gives a trailer or a third car its own spot. A turnaround lets you pull out forward instead of backing into the road.
Inside Monroe, the city code bars regular parking on grass. It lists concrete driveways and parking strips among the hard surfaces built for parking. The zoning code also caps hard surfaces at 60 percent of most lots, and driveways count. On a tight lot, ask the City of Monroe Code Department before planning a big extension.
The apron is the stretch where the driveway meets the road. Walton County's code calls for aprons that slope away from the pavement, so runoff stays off the travel lane. Where a driveway meets a state highway, the permits come from the Georgia Department of Transportation. Inside Monroe, the zoning code allows one curb cut per 150 feet of street frontage.
