The installation process, step by step

• Demo & removal of the old driveway.
• Grading & base prep for drainage and a stable sub-base.
• Forming & rebar to shape the slab and add strength.
• Pour & finish — broom, smooth, stamped, or colored.
• Cure & seal for long-term durability.

How long it takes

Most residential driveways take 2–4 days of work, then about 7 days before you park on it and ~28 days to fully cure. Weather and size affect the schedule.

What it costs in Orange County

Standard concrete driveways run about $8–$15 per square foot installed; stamped or colored finishes run $12–$25+. Removing an old driveway, slab thickness, and rebar all affect the final number.
