Concrete mix design and delivery Clarksville TN

For a residential concrete driveway in Clarksville, TN, a standard 4,000 psi (pounds per square inch) compressive strength mix with air entrainment to improve freeze-thaw resistance is typically recommended. The exact mix will depend on local weather conditions and soil types, but generally, it will consist of Portland cement, aggregates (sand and gravel), water, and possibly admixtures for improved workability or setting time.

The cost can vary widely depending on the size of the driveway, thickness of the concrete, finish type (e.g., broom finish or decorative), and any additional features like color or stamping. As of my knowledge cutoff date in early 2023, you can expect to pay between $5 - $15 per square foot. Its best to obtain multiple quotes from local contractors for a more accurate estimate.

Start by searching for local contractors with good reviews online or ask for recommendations from friends or family who have had similar work done. Verify that they are licensed and insured in Tennessee. Request quotes and references from several providers before making your decision. Ensure that they understand the local building codes and standards for Clarksville.

Typically, it takes at least one week before you can drive on your new concrete driveway. You should wait at least 24-48 hours before walking on it as well. Full curing takes about 28 days during which time strength continues to develop; however, after the initial week of careful use and avoiding heavy equipment or vehicles on the surface should be sufficient enough to prevent damage while allowing normal usage gradually over this period.
