BeforeAfterWhat goes under the surface
Most concrete fails from below. Frost heave, a thin base or missing steel will crack a slab no matter how good it looks on day one. This is how we build a typical driveway, as our standard rather than an upgrade.
Concrete driveways| Layer | Our spec | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Dig-out | Down to solid ground, usually 12–15 in. | Soft or organic soil comes out, not compacted over |
| Base | 6–8 in. crushed gravel, compacted | Nothing settles later |
| Steel | Rebar grid about 12 in. apart, on chairs | Holds the slab together if it cracks |
| Mix | 32 MPa, 5–8% air-entrained | Air pockets give freezing water room |
| Joints | Saw-cut, no more than 8 ft apart | Tells shrinkage cracks where to go |
| Cure | Curing compound the same day | Surface reaches full strength |

Questions we get
Straight answers. If yours isn’t here, call 782-440-7851.
How long before I can drive on new concrete?
Foot traffic after a day or two, cars after about a week. Concrete keeps gaining strength for about a month, so Langille will give you a date for heavy trucks too.
Do you pour in cold weather?
Yes, within limits. Below about 5°C Langille uses blankets and accelerators or reschedules; we will tell you which at quote time.
Concrete or asphalt?
Concrete costs more up front and lasts longer with less upkeep. Langille will price both options honestly if you are unsure.
Do you do more than concrete?
Yes. Along with driveways and site work, Langille takes on additions, garages, renovations, decks and porches, roofing, siding and framing across Pictou County.
Do you handle permits and locates?
Langille books utility locates on every job and tells you if your town needs a permit.
