A driveway you won't have to think about again

Your driveway is the first thing people see and the thing your vehicles use every day. Concrete is hard to fix, so we make sure to get it right the first time: proper base, proper forming, proper finish.

Fontaine Concrete & Hardscape has poured driveways for homeowners in Shelton, Olympia, Aberdeen and the towns around them since 1996. New driveway, wider driveway, or tear-out and replace, bring us the project and we will find a way to make it happen.

Finish options

Broom finish

The standard for driveways here. The fine texture gives tires and shoes grip in the rain.

Stamped or colored

Borders, bands or a full stamped pattern. See decorative concrete.

Exposed aggregate

Stone texture on the surface. [PLACEHOLDER: confirm whether exposed aggregate is offered]

Pavers

A different system with its own benefits. See paver driveways.

Local know-how

Long rural driveways and wet winters

Many driveways in Mason and Grays Harbor counties are long, sloped or cross soft ground. Getting the base and drainage right matters more than anything you see on the surface, so we look at how water moves across your lot before we set a single form. On steep or long drives, the grading is done in-house with our small tractor.

Questions

Driveways FAQ

Have a question that isn't here? Call 360-463-1098.

How much does a concrete driveway cost?

It depends on size, thickness, how much prep the site needs, whether old material has to come out, and the finish you choose. We look at the site and give you a clear written price. [PLACEHOLDER: any price guidance Dale is comfortable sharing]

How long does a new driveway take?

Prep and pour usually happen over a short stretch of days, then the concrete needs time to cure before you park on it. You get the schedule at the quote. [PLACEHOLDER: typical timeline]

Can you remove and replace my old driveway?

Yes. We handle the demolition and replacement, including breakout, haul-off and base repair, and we have a small tractor for the dirt work.

Is concrete better than asphalt for a driveway?

Concrete usually costs more up front. In return it does not soften in summer heat and does not need regular resealing to hold together, and a well-built concrete driveway can last decades. We are happy to talk through the trade-offs for your property.

Can I get a decorative finish?

Yes. We do stamped and decorative concrete, from a colored border to a full pattern.
