What Makes a High-Quality
Concrete Driveway?
Formwork & Reinforcement
We use solid formwork to shape the driveway's layout, edges, and any curves. Inside, we place a rebar grid (#3 or #4) to reinforce the slab, increasing its tensile strength and minimizing crack formation. Techniques include:
Steel rebar in grid or mat formation
Chairs to lift rebar above the subbase
Proper spacing for expansion and control joints
Site Prep & Gravel Subbase
The longevity of your driveway starts beneath the surface. We follow soil mechanics to grade and compact the subbase using road-base gravel or crushed rock. This promotes drainage and prevents shifting from moisture or erosion in Bakersfield, where soil conditions can vary by neighborhood, proper grading is essential to avoid pooling and surface heaving. Key benefits:
Prevents cracking from soil movement
Supports even weight distribution
Adds drainage channels to guide runoff
Concrete Pour & Finishing
We use concrete mix designs based on project load requirements—typically 3,000 to 4,000 PSI for residential use, and higher for commercial applications. Once poured, our crew applies the requested finish and cuts control joints to reduce cracking.Available finishes:
Steel rebar in grid or mat formation
Chairs to lift rebar above the subbase
Proper spacing for expansion and control joints
Curing & Sealing
After placement, we ensure the concrete cures properly by applying curing blankets or liquid sealers. This is crucial to control moisture loss, reduce shrinkage, and boost surface strength. We use:
Curing blankets in colder months
Acrylic or silane/siloxane sealers for long-term protection
Optional penetrating sealers for decorative driveways

Concrete vs. Asphalt Driveways
Why Choose Concrete Over Asphalt in Bakersfield?
Bakersfield’s heat and clay soils can wreak havoc on inferior materials. Concrete outperforms asphalt in durability, longevity, and looks.
Concrete advantages:
Longer lifespan: 25–40 years vs. 10–15 for asphalt
Lower maintenance: No annual sealing or resurfacing
Heat resistance: Won't soften or rut in extreme temps
Design flexibility: Color, texture, and shape options Higher load capacity: Ideal for RVs, trucks, and equipment
While the upfront cost is slightly higher, concrete saves money over time due to fewer repairs and a better long-term appearance.

We were referred to Concrete Commandos Bakersfield by our neighbor and we're so glad we went with them. Todd and his team were very responsive and did an incredible job in our backyard. They were friendly, professional, and easy to work with. We've already sent a few referrals their way. Highly recommended.
A neighbor gave me his contact info and I'm really glad they did. They provided a clear estimate and timeline. He was detailed, knowledgeable, kind, and flexible. His crew was just as great polite, professional, and fast. They even came back to fine tune a few things I wasn't fully happy with. Overall, a great experience. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat.
We had a great experience working with this Bakersfield concrate company on our driveway project. From start to finish, the team was professional, easy to communicate with, and clearly knew what they were doing. The results speak for themselves.
We hired Todd's to handle both our front and backyard, and they also worked on several homes in the neighborhood. They took care of everything including hardscaping, fencing, grass, and electrical. Everything turned out great.
Concrete Commandos Bakersfield were awesome to work with. I helped design a custom layout and reused some turf I already had. The foreman, was efficient and super informative throughout the project. I'm really happy with how the patio turned out.
Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Driveways in Bakersfield
HOW LONG DOES A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY LAST?
With proper installation and maintenance, a concrete driveway can last 25 to 30 years or more, especially when reinforced with rebar and installed on a compacted gravel subbase.
WHAT’S THE TYPICAL THICKNESS OF A DRIVEWAY SLAB?
Residential driveways are usually 4 inches thick, but for heavier vehicles or trailers, we may recommend 5–6 inches with a higher PSI mix and additional rebar.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT BEFORE DRIVING ON MY NEW DRIVEWAY?
You can usually walk on the driveway within 24–48 hours, but vehicles should wait 7 days minimum. Full strength is reached after 28 days of curing.
DO YOU INCLUDE REBAR OR WIRE MESH IN YOUR DRIVEWAYS?
Yes — all our driveways are reinforced with #3 or #4 rebar, laid in a grid pattern, unless otherwise requested. This adds strength and minimizes cracking.
CAN I CUSTOMIZE THE LOOK OF MY DRIVEWAY?
Absolutely. We offer broom finishes, stamped concrete, exposed aggregate, and color staining to match your home's curb appeal.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN YOUR ESTIMATE?
Our free estimates include: Site prep and grading: Gravel base, Rebar installation, Concrete pour, Control joints, Finishing and cleanup. We’ll walk you through everything before work begins.
DO YOU REMOVE EXISTING CONCRETE?
Yes. We handle demo, haul-off, and disposal of old driveways, and we prep the new subbase for a clean install.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONCRETE AND ASPHALT DRIVEWAYS?
Concrete lasts longer, handles heat better, and offers more design flexibility. Asphalt is cheaper up front, but needs more maintenance and resealing.
CAN YOU EXTEND MY CURRENT DRIVEWAY OR ADD A SECOND BAY?
Yes — we regularly install driveway extensions, side pads, RV parking slabs, and widened entries.
