Savannah Concrete Pros · Services
Concrete driveway contractors in Savannah, GA
New driveways, tear-out and replacement of cracked or sunken ones, and extra parking beside the drive you have. Poured on a compacted base and sloped so Savannah's summer downpours run off instead of sitting.
On Savannah ground
Savannah is flat, and a flat lot is the hard part of a driveway. With a seasonal water table that sits within a foot of the surface on much of the county's low ground, a slab with no fall holds water at the garage door or the street edge. We shoot grades before we price, set the fall on paper, and build the base up where the lot is low. Where the drive meets a city street, a new curb cut needs a driveway permit from the City of Savannah, and we handle it.
How we do it
- 1
Site visit and grades
We measure the drive, check the height at the garage, the street and both sides, and find where rain goes now. The written estimate states thickness, base depth, steel and finish.
- 2
Remove what's there
Old concrete, asphalt, shell or gravel is broken out and hauled off. Soft or wet spots in the subgrade are dug out and replaced, not poured over.
- 3
Build and compact the base
Graded aggregate goes down in lifts and is compacted, so the slab bears on something firm instead of on wet sand or clay.
- 4
Form, steel, pour
Forms set the edges, the apron and any flare. Wire mesh for a 4-inch car driveway, rebar for 5 to 6 inches under trucks, boats and trailers. Then the truck, the screed and the float.
- 5
Finish and joints
A broom finish for wet-weather grip, or the decorative finish you picked. Control joints are cut to a layout we plan before the pour.
- 6
Cure and hand back
We cure the slab straight after finishing, which matters most in our heat. You get the date you can walk on it and the date you can park on it.
Options and finishes
Broom finish
Plain gray with a brushed texture. Grips when wet, costs the least, and suits most Savannah streets.
Exposed aggregate
The top is washed back to show the stone. Hides tire marks and gives good traction under live oaks that drop leaves and tannin.
Color and borders
Integral color, a contrasting band at the edges or a stamped apron. See our stamped concrete page for patterns.
Heavy-duty sections
A thicker, rebar-reinforced strip where the boat trailer, RV or work truck sits.
Widening and extra parking
A second-car strip, a turnaround or a pad beside the garage, tied in at the same height as the existing slab with an isolation joint between old and new.

Frequently asked questions
How thick should a driveway be in Savannah?
+
4 inches on a compacted base for cars and SUVs. 5 to 6 inches with rebar if a boat trailer, RV or loaded work truck parks on it. We write the thickness on the estimate so you can compare quotes.
What does a concrete driveway cost?
+
We don't publish Savannah prices, because the lot decides them. As a national reference, ConcreteNetwork puts plain concrete driveways at about $5 to $8 per square foot installed and decorative finishes at $8 to $21. Your written estimate is the real number.
Do I need a permit for a driveway in Savannah?
+
A new curb cut or apron on a city street needs a driveway permit from the City of Savannah. Outside the city, Chatham County or your municipality sets the rule. We tell you which applies and pull it.
My driveway holds water. Can you fix that without replacing it?
+
Sometimes. If the slab is sound and only one section has settled, we can replace that section at the right height. If the whole drive was poured flat, replacement with a proper fall is the fix that lasts.
When can I park on it?
+
Plan on about a week for cars. Heavy vehicles wait longer. We give you the exact dates for your pour.
What to have ready
None of it is required to send the request. It just makes the callback shorter and the estimate more accurate.
