New Concrete Driveways in Glassboro
Request your driveway estimate
A concrete driveway is a big, visible project. It carries your vehicles every day and takes a beating from snow, salt and freeze-thaw cycles. The price depends on size, thickness, base prep, finish and access. Scope before price is the right order.
Reltar Concrete is a referral service. We do not pour concrete. You send your project details, and we match you with an independent provider in our network who handles new driveways. The provider visits, measures and writes up a quote. You compare it, ask questions and decide. There is no obligation to hire anyone.
Is it time to replace the driveway?
Start with one question: can the slab still be fixed, or is it finished? Concrete driveway repair works for a few small cracks or one low spot. It stops working when damage spreads across the whole surface.
If you are past patching, a full replacement is the sound choice. This page covers new driveways only.
Signs you need a new driveway
Look for patterns, not single flaws. These are the common ones.
Cracks that keep growing
Hairline cracks are normal. Cracks wider than a quarter inch, or ones that connect into a web, point to a failing slab or a weak base.
Settling and heaving
Sunken panels collect water. Raised edges are a trip hazard. Both usually mean the ground under the slab moved, often from frost.
Flaking and pitting
A surface that peels or crumbles has lost its top layer. Road salt and repeated freezing make this worse each winter.
Water pooling
Puddles that sit near the garage or house need attention. In homes with full basements or older stone and block foundations, standing water near the wall is a real concern. Some jobs call for foundation repair experts before any new concrete goes down.
What a new driveway project includes
A complete job has clear steps. Ask the provider to list each one.
- Removal and haul-away of the old slab
- Grading and a compacted gravel base
- Forms set to the right shape and slope
- Reinforcement, such as rebar or mesh
- Pouring, finishing and control joints
- Curing and sealing, if specified
This kind of concrete flatwork depends on the base as much as the concrete. A thin base under a good slab still fails.
Size, thickness and finish
Most single-car drives are 10 to 12 feet wide. Two-car drives run 18 to 24 feet. Measure where the vehicles actually park and turn.
Four inches is a common thickness for passenger cars. Heavier loads, such as trucks or delivery vans, may call for five or six inches. Let the provider explain the choice.
For finish, a broom texture gives grip and is the usual pick. Smooth surfaces get slick in ice. Colors and patterns cost more and have their own page.
Built for freeze-thaw winters
Cold, snowy regions are hard on concrete. Water enters small pores, freezes and expands. Spring snowmelt adds more water, and coastal storms bring salt and wind-driven moisture.
Ask about air-entrained concrete, which holds tiny air bubbles that relieve freezing pressure. Ask about slope, too. Water should run away from the house, not toward it.
Permits and the street apron
The apron is the section between the sidewalk or curb and the street. Many towns control it. Some require a permit, a set thickness or an approved contractor list.
Ask the provider who pulls permits and who pays the fee. Get it in writing. Rules differ by town, so check with your local building office.
What drives the price
Five things move the number most: square footage, thickness, demolition, base work and finish. Tight access, steep slopes and long truck distances add labor. Prices also shift with season and local demand.
See the cost table below for typical U.S. ranges. Your quote may land outside them.
Questions worth asking a provider
A good provider answers plainly. Try these.
- What thickness and base depth do you plan, and why?
- Is demolition, haul-away and permit work in the quote?
- What reinforcement and joint spacing will you use?
- How long before I can walk and drive on it?
- What happens if the ground turns out softer than expected?
A solid answer is specific. It names numbers and gives reasons. Vague replies are a signal to keep looking.
Red flags that should end the conversation
- A price with no written scope
- Pressure to sign today
- A large cash deposit up front
- No clear answer on base prep or permits
- Refusal to put terms in writing
Quote, then pour. Never the other way around.
After the pour
Keep vehicles off for the period the provider gives you, often about a week. Keep foot traffic off the first day or two. Keep water, pets and salt away while it cures.
Wait until the first winter is over before using strong de-icers. Sealing can help in salty, freeze-thaw areas. Ask the provider when to seal and how often.

What's Included
Old slab removal
The provider breaks up, loads and hauls away the existing driveway so the new base starts clean.
Base and grading
Compacted gravel and the correct slope keep water moving away from your home.
Forms and reinforcement
Set forms, rebar or mesh, and control joints guide where the slab flexes.
Pour and finish
Concrete is placed, leveled, textured and cured so the surface holds up.

Questions
Concrete Driveways FAQ
How much does a new concrete driveway cost?
Many U.S. projects fall between about $4,000 and $9,000 for a two-car driveway. Size, thickness, demolition, base work and finish all change the total. Get a written quote that lists each item.
How thick should a concrete driveway be?
Four inches is common for passenger cars. Heavier vehicles may need five or six inches, plus reinforcement. A good provider explains the choice and also describes the gravel base under the slab.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
Foot traffic is often fine after a day or two. Many providers ask you to wait about a week before parking vehicles on it. Follow your provider's cure schedule, since weather affects timing.
