Concrete Driveway Contractors in Medina, OH: New, Widened and Replaced Driveways
Driveway Replacement, Widening, Extensions and Parking Pads for Homes Around Medina, Akron and Cleveland
Concrete Driveway Contractor Serving Medina, Akron and Cleveland
When you need concrete driveway contractors in Medina, call Kingdom Concrete at (216) 551-8835. We pour new concrete driveways, replace old ones, widen and extend driveways, and add parking pads for homeowners in Medina, Akron, Cleveland, Parma, Brunswick, Strongsville, Westlake and nearby towns. A driveway carries cars and trucks through every freeze and thaw, so most of the work happens before the concrete truck arrives: digging out, a compacted base, forms and reinforcement.
Driveways are a large part of what we do. Some jobs are a full tear-out and replacement. Others add a few feet on one or both sides, or a pad beside the garage for an extra car. Kingdom Concrete also pours walkways, patios and steps, so the walk to the front door can be poured with the driveway.

Concrete Driveway Work We Can Help With
New Driveways and Driveway Replacement
When a driveway has broken into pieces, sunk at the garage or heaved at the street, the base underneath has usually failed, and patching won't hold. Replacement means breaking out the old concrete, hauling it away, rebuilding and compacting the base, and pouring a new slab with the right slope. Built this way, a concrete driveway typically lasts for decades in Northeast Ohio.
Driveway Widening and Extensions
Many of our driveway jobs add room instead of starting over. We widen driveways on one or both sides, extend them toward a garage or the street, and tie the new concrete to the old. One customer wrote that Marshall expanded their driveway and resurfaced the original concrete so the two blended together, and another had their driveway extended on both sides.
Parking Pads and Garage Aprons
A concrete pad beside the driveway gives you space for a second car, a trailer or a camper. One customer needed a new pad added to the side of their driveway for extra parking and wrote that the crew suggested layout changes that made the space work better. The apron in front of the garage takes the most turning traffic, so it gets the same base as the drive.
Driveway Finishes and Sealing
A broom finish is the standard for Ohio driveways because it gives tires and boots grip in rain, snow and ice. Some homeowners add a decorative trowel finish or stamped borders. Sealing the surface helps keep out water and road salt, which cause most of the flaking and pitting on older driveways, and Kingdom Concrete can handle that as well.

How a Concrete Driveway Is Replaced
A new driveway usually takes a few days of work, plus time for the concrete to cure.
- Step 1
Tear Out and Grade
The old driveway is broken out and hauled away, and the ground is graded so water runs off the drive and away from the garage and the house.
- Step 2
Base, Forms and Reinforcement
Compacted gravel goes down, forms set the edges and the height, and wire mesh or rebar is placed so it sits inside the concrete, not on the ground.
- Step 3
Pour, Finish and Cut Joints
The concrete is poured, leveled and broom finished, and control joints are cut so any cracks follow straight lines instead of wandering across the drive.
What Customers Say About Their New Driveways
- Erika M.Google review
Marshal did a beautiful job expanding our driveway and resurfacing our original concrete so that it blended together. He was great to work with, reliable, and even replanted a small tree that had to be moved. Highly recommend!
- Katie G.Google review
Recently had our driveway extended on both sides and it's beautiful! Kingdom Concrete was easy to work with and priced reasonably. We will definitely recommend them to our friends and family!
- Jennifer H.Google review
I cannot say enough about the excellent service Marshall and his team provided us, and our new driveway looks fantastic! The team was on time, worked incredibly hard to complete our driveway in a matter of a few days, and communicated with us throughout the process, ensuring we were satisfied every step of the way.
Why Hire Kingdom Concrete for Your Driveway
On Time and Done When Promised
A driveway job means your car is parked on the street for a while, so the schedule matters. Customers write that the crew showed up when Marshall said they would and finished on time. One driveway widening and patio extension was done in a single day, and another customer's new driveway was completed in a matter of a few days.
The Person Who Prices the Job Does the Work
Marshall started Kingdom Concrete to provide for his family, and he is out in the field on most jobs, forming, pouring and finishing with the crew. Too many contractors sell the job, take the money and send someone else to do it. When you call us about your driveway, the person you talk to is the person who shows up.
Clear Answers Before, During and After
Customers say in review after review that Marshall listens, asks a lot of questions and stays available before, during and after the job. You'll know what is being done and when, and if something changes once the old concrete is out, you'll hear about it before the work goes on.

It depends on the size, the thickness, how much old concrete has to come out, the base and the finish. A bigger drive with a tear-out costs more than a short extension. We'll look at the site and give you a clear estimate.
Four inches is the minimum for cars, and many driveways are poured at five or six inches, especially where trucks or trailers park. The apron at the street or garage often gets extra thickness.
You can usually walk on it after a day or two and drive a car on it after about a week. Concrete keeps curing for about a month, so keep heavy trucks off it until then.
Yes. We add new concrete along one or both sides and tie it to the existing slab. Resurfacing the old section can help the two match, as one customer saw when we expanded and resurfaced their driveway.
If the slab is level and the cracks are small, repair or resurfacing can work. If it has sunk, heaved or broken into pieces, the base has failed, and replacement will last longer.
Often, yes. Many cities around Cleveland and Akron require a permit for driveway replacement, especially for the apron in the public right-of-way. Check with your city's building department before the work is scheduled.
Most cracks come from shrinkage as the concrete dries, a soft or washed-out base, or water freezing in small cracks. Control joints, a compacted base and reinforcement keep cracking small and in planned places.
Yes. Parking pads beside the driveway are a common job for us, built on the same compacted base as the drive so the new concrete sits level with the old.
Sealing helps protect a driveway from water and road salt, which cause flaking and pitting. New concrete should cure for about a month before sealer goes on, and resealing every few years keeps it working.
Concrete can't freeze while it cures, so most driveway work in Northeast Ohio runs from spring through late fall. Late-season pours need mild days and protection on cold nights.
