When a Woodway driveway needs replacing
One published checklist lists seven signs: significant cracking, a badly spalled surface, poor drainage, sinking or settling, neglect, age past its prime and a lack of curb appeal. Extensive spalling will usually mean ripping out the whole slab.
When a drive drops in spots, the likely culprits are a poorly compacted subgrade or eroded soil underneath. Slabjacking can raise it, but if roots or a leaky pipe turn out to be behind it, a new drive may be the only answer. Never resurface a driveway that is severely cracked or damaged.
Thicker edges
Edges take heavy vehicle loads most often and tend to have less soil support than the middle, so they can be poured 1 to 2 inches deeper for 4 to 8 inches in from the perimeter.
If a panel has only dropped, lifting it with concrete leveling may do; for a pattern, see stamped concrete in Woodway, or other Woodway concrete work.

Find why it failed
Find the cause, such as soft subgrade, roots or a leaking pipe, before the new pour.
Break out and rebuild the base
The old slab is hauled off, the base regraded and compacted, and forms and steel set.
Pour, saw and cure
Joints are sawed first; traffic can go on after 7 days of curing, or earlier once tests show 2,500 psi, Michigan Concrete Association guidance says.

Questions about replacing a driveway
What does a drive approach permit cost in Woodway?
Drives are on the City's permit list. Its Master Fee Schedule, adopted August 24, 2026 and effective October 1, 2026, charges $100.00 per approach on a separate application, lists a $35.00 permit to build a drive approach in the public right-of-way, and has no flatwork line for the drive on your lot, so ask the Inspections & Planning Division which apply.
What goes between a new drive and the old approach?
An isolation joint. The American Concrete Pavement Association places them where old pavement meets new, sized ½ to 1 inch wide and packed with pre-formed joint filler.
Do you have to put rebar in a driveway?
Not always. One published guide uses wire mesh for drives 4 to 5 inches thick and #4 rebar, about 12 inches apart, for 5 inches or more. Neither stops cracking; the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association says they can only limit crack width.
