Understanding Concrete Driveway Requirements
Concrete Requirements
Standard driveways require 4-6 inches of concrete depth. For residential use, 4 inches is typically sufficient, while heavy vehicle areas may need 6 inches or more.
Rebar and Reinforcement
Rebar should be placed in a grid pattern, typically 12-18 inches apart, depending on the concrete thickness and expected load.
Base Preparation
A proper gravel base of 4-6 inches is essential for drainage and stability. The base should be compacted and level before concrete placement.
