Built Strong Underneath, Beautiful on Top
Your driveway carries heavy loads every day. These practices help every driveway we build stay level, crack-resistant, and attractive for years.
01
Bases Excavated and Compacted Thoroughly
The strength of a driveway starts below the surface. We remove soft soil and organic material, add suitable base, and compact it thoroughly, giving your driveway a firm foundation that resists sinking under cars, trucks, and heavy deliveries.
02
Thickness and Reinforcement Planned for Vehicles
Driveways carry far more weight than patios. We plan concrete thickness and reinforcement for the vehicles you use, including trucks, boats, and trailers, helping the slab handle heavy loads without cracking or breaking apart over time.
03
Water Directed Away From Your Home
Proper slope keeps rainwater moving toward the street or drainage areas instead of pooling on the driveway or flowing toward your garage. Good drainage protects both the driveway surface and your home's foundation during Florida storms.
04
Joints Positioned to Control Cracking
Control joints guide where natural shrinkage cracks form, keeping your driveway looking clean and organized. We plan joint spacing carefully, so cracks follow straight, intentional lines instead of wandering unpredictably across the surface. It reflects how seriously we take workmanship.
05
Concrete and Pavers Compared Fairly
Concrete offers a smooth, cost-effective surface, while pavers provide flexibility, easy repairs, and decorative patterns. We explain the strengths, costs, and maintenance of each option, helping you choose the driveway that suits your home best.
06
Old Driveway Removal Handled Completely
Cracked or sunken driveways are broken up, removed, and hauled away before new work begins. We prepare the area properly, so your new driveway starts fresh on a stable base instead of inheriting the old driveway's problems.

How it works
How We Build Your New Driveway
Your driveway project begins with a site visit to review the layout, existing conditions, drainage patterns, and the vehicles that will use the driveway. We discuss concrete and paver options, finishes, dimensions, and any extensions or aprons you need. Then we provide a detailed estimate that outlines removal, excavation, base preparation, materials, installation, and curing time, so you understand the full scope and know how long your driveway will be out of service.
During construction, Construction and Remodeling by L & L Inc. removes the old driveway if needed, excavates and compacts the base, sets forms and reinforcement or paver edging, and installs the new surface with proper slope and joints. We protect fresh concrete as it cures, clean up the site completely, and explain when the driveway is ready for vehicles. Our team also handles paving for walkways and patios to complement your new driveway in Cocoa, Florida.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
A new driveway is a significant investment. Here are answers to questions homeowners in Cocoa, Florida frequently ask before starting.
Is concrete or pavers better for a Florida driveway?
Both perform well when installed properly. Concrete is smooth and cost-effective, while pavers offer decorative options and easy individual repairs. We help you compare cost, appearance, and maintenance to choose the right fit. That helps you make informed decisions.
How long before I can drive on new concrete?
Most concrete driveways can handle passenger vehicles after about a week, with heavier vehicles waiting longer. Curing depends on weather and mix, and we give you specific guidance before you park on it. The right answer depends on conditions.
Why do driveways crack and sink?
Poorly compacted bases, inadequate thickness, missing reinforcement, and drainage problems are common causes. Proper excavation, base preparation, and control joints greatly reduce cracking and sinking, especially on Florida's sandy soils. We will recommend the best approach.
Can you widen my existing driveway?
Yes. Driveway extensions add room for extra vehicles, boats, or trailers. We tie new sections into the existing driveway carefully and match the finish as closely as possible for a cohesive, attractive appearance. Call us to discuss your project.
Do I need a permit for a new driveway?
Driveway work, especially changes near the street or right of way, may require permits in Brevard County. We help you understand requirements and coordinate permits when needed before your project begins. It is worth discussing before starting.
