Driveway Installation
New driveway installs in concrete, pavers, or decorative finishes for Davis and Weber County homes. Whether you're building on a new lot or replacing an aging asphalt driveway, we handle site prep, drainage, and the full pour or paver install from start to finish.
Concrete, pavers, or asphalt — what works best in Utah
Concrete is the most common driveway material in Davis County for good reason: it handles Utah's freeze-thaw cycles well when poured correctly, lasts 30 to 50 years with minimal maintenance, and doesn't soften in summer heat the way asphalt can. The upfront cost is higher than asphalt, but the long-term cost per year of service is lower. Concrete driveways can also be finished decoratively with stamps, exposed aggregate, or broom texture to match the home's style.
Pavers give you flexibility: individual units can be replaced if one cracks or stains, and the material options (concrete paver, travertine, natural stone) offer a wider range of aesthetics than poured concrete. They cost more per square foot than standard concrete but less than stamped concrete in many cases. The base prep and installation time are also longer. Paver driveways work well when the driveway connects to a paver patio or walkway and you want a continuous aesthetic.
Site prep is what separates a driveway that holds from one that settles and cracks
The most common cause of premature driveway failure in Utah isn't the concrete — it's the prep work underneath. Driveways need adequate subgrade compaction, the right base depth for local soil conditions, and a drainage slope that moves water away from the garage and the home's foundation. A driveway that ponds water or drains toward the foundation will create problems for the foundation and for the concrete long before the surface wears out.
For most Davis County lots, we excavate 6 to 8 inches, compact the subgrade, lay 4 inches of compacted gravel base, and pour 4 to 5 inches of concrete. Driveways designed for heavier vehicles (RVs, trucks with trailers) get additional thickness and may require reinforcing bar in addition to wire mesh. We assess each site before quoting — slope, soil type, vehicle loads, and drainage all go into the design.

Driveway Installation Questions
Common questions about materials, timeline, and what to expect for a new driveway in Utah.
A standard two-car concrete driveway (approximately 600 square feet) in Davis County runs $6,000 to $12,000 for a standard broom-finish pour. Stamped concrete adds cost and runs $9,000 to $21,000 for the same size. Paver driveways are typically $9,000 to $15,000. These ranges include demo of the existing surface, gravel base, and installation.
Both work well when installed correctly. Concrete is lower maintenance and more cost-effective for large areas. Pavers can be repaired unit by unit if one cracks or stains, which is an advantage for high-visibility areas. For Utah winters, both handle freeze-thaw well. The main risk for concrete is deicing salt damage — sand is a safer choice for surface traction than chloride-based ice melters.
Demo and base prep typically take one day. The concrete pour is done in a day. Cure time before vehicle traffic is 7 days for standard concrete, 28 days before full load (heavy trucks or RVs). Paver installs take 2 to 4 days for a standard residential driveway. Heated driveways require additional mechanical work before the pour and add a day to the schedule.
Foot traffic after 24 hours. Passenger vehicles after 7 days (standard 4,000 PSI concrete mix). Heavy vehicles (trucks, RVs, trailers) should wait 28 days for full cure. In Utah's cooler months, curing is slower and we may extend these timelines. We'll tell you the specific wait time based on conditions when the pour happens.
Most residential driveway replacements don't require a permit in Davis County cities. New driveways that involve a new curb cut (new access point from the street) typically do require a permit and street department approval. We handle permit applications when required and know the requirements for Farmington, Kaysville, Bountiful, Centerville, and surrounding cities.
