A properly engineered driveway is much more than just poured concrete. To prevent cracking, settling, and weather damage, it requires a carefully constructed foundation:
Compacted Soil Subgrade: The native soil is excavated and heavily compacted to create a stable, uniform foundation that prevents future settling.
Compacted Aggregate Base (Gravel): Typically 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone or gravel is laid over the subgrade. This layer is crucial for drainage and providing a load-bearing buffer between the soil and the concrete.
Reinforcement (Not pictured but standard): Steel rebar grids or wire mesh are usually suspended within the concrete layer to provide tensile strength, holding the slab together under the heavy weight of vehicles.
Concrete Slab: The top layer, typically poured 4 to 6 inches thick for residential driveways, using a high-PSI concrete mix designed to withstand local weather conditions and vehicle loads.
