Concrete driveways in Gibsonia, PA
Gibsonia homes often sit well back from the road on open lots, so the driveway is the biggest piece of concrete the owner will ever buy. At 100 feet or more, every choice about width, thickness and water shows up in the total.

Paying for the length
A drive 150 feet long and 12 feet wide is 1,800 square feet. At $8 to $14 per square foot for a broom finish, that's roughly $14,400 to $25,200, so small choices count. Narrowing the straight run from 12 feet to 10 cuts the concrete there by a sixth, and many owners keep the full width only near the garage, where cars pass and park. If the drive is gravel now, some of that stone may stay in the new base once it has been checked and compacted. Try the concrete driveway cost estimator with your own length.
On a long pour, we work in sections, each one ending at a planned joint, so the finish stays even and the crew isn't racing the concrete. Cross joints every 10 to 12 feet keep the cracks where we want them.
Gibsonia sits about 16 miles north of downtown at roughly 1,037 feet, and open lots catch the wind and drifting snow. Water is the bigger worry on a long drive. It runs along the slab and collects at the low points, so swales beside the drive, or a culvert pipe under it where it crosses the ditch at the road, may be part of the job. Gibsonia isn't a borough of its own. It's a community in Richland Township, and the 15044 ZIP reaches into Hampton and Pine, so the township on your tax bill is the one to ask about work at the road. Tell us if oil trucks, deliveries or a camper use the drive, and we'll set the thickness to suit.

Concrete driveway questions from Gibsonia
What is considered a long driveway?
There's no fixed figure, but most people would call anything past about 100 feet long. At that length, width, joints and drainage start to matter as much as the finish.
How long should a driveway culvert be?
Long enough to reach past both edges of the drive and its side slopes, so the ends of the pipe don't wash out. Ask your township and whoever owns the road, as they may have a say on the pipe size.
How much does a long concrete driveway cost in Gibsonia?
A drive 150 feet long and 12 feet wide is 1,800 square feet, often $14,400 to $25,200 with a broom finish. Narrowing the straight run saves the most.
Should a long Gibsonia driveway be poured in one day or in stages?
Usually in stages on anything past 100 feet or so. Each section ends at a planned joint, the finish stays even, and you can often still reach the house over a part that has cured.
