Driveways
Greenway installs concrete, blacktop, paver, and gravel driveways. Paver driveways are considered high-end, durable, and low-maintenance when properly installed, while concrete driveways require careful attention to expansion and control joints to prevent future issues.
For paver driveways, the existing material is removed, and the earth is excavated to install a 6-inch RCA (Recycled Crushed Aggregate) base, compacted for stability. A 1-inch sand bed is then placed for the pavers. The pavers are cut to size, locked with cement edging, and the joints are filled with sand or polymeric sand, which hardens to prevent weed growth.
Concrete driveways involve pouring a 6-inch layer of concrete over the compacted RCA base, reinforced with wire or fibers. Control or expansion joints are added to manage movement and prevent cracking. Proper admixtures in the concrete mix can replace traditional expansion joints. The concrete surface is typically broom finished for a textured, non-slip finish.
