Concrete

Blalock will do concrete as well. Right at 54 and hillsborough just west of the fairgrounds.
Ive used them before for both concrete and asphalt applications.

Dont need wire mesh or re-bar for a parking area at a residence. Fiberglass reinforced should be all you need unless you need to fulfill the requirement of parking a fire truck on it. And 5 inches would be enough to hold the weight but thicker is always stronger. 3-4 inches for sidewalk, 5-6 inches for average parking, 8+ and reinforced for commercial stuff. I'm also wondering how fun it will be to watch moonshine tow the concrete truck out of your driveway. If I remember, the PO dumped a bunch of loose gravel over the driveway which is usually a good challenge for a big truck like that.

Well I will throw my .02 in. I had a concrete business down in Florida for a number of years. At a minimum I would use fiber mesh 5 inches thick with a shovel wide 10 inch footer around the edge. Shovel a 45 degree transition edge on the inner part of the footer. Make it look something like this...\__| Then saw cut it at least twice across after it sets up. Should last a loooooong time. YMMV.

Oooh, saw cut, good idea. I was thinking that a trowled joint would be tough to roll over, but a saw cut would be perfect.

Thanks for the advice everyone!

Wow! What all is included for that $2900?

I had a 28'x22' concrete pad poured, a 19 ton load of gravel, and a day of backhoe work done recently and the total bill was $2977. I also had a 15'x18' concrete pad poured outside of my basement a few years ago for $650.

For $2900:
- 10x35' 6" pad with 5000psi reinforced concrete
- 20'x4' apron to go in front of my garage
