A concrete driveway is the biggest slab most Las Vegas homes will ever have. We pour new concrete driveways and replace failing slabs across the Las Vegas valley. Every job starts with grade and base work, because a slab is only as good as what sits under it. We compact the base, set forms, tie rebar on chairs, and cut joints on the schedule the concrete wants. Ram Masonry has poured concrete and laid block since 2014, with decades of trade work behind the company. We hold Nevada C-18 license #0080771, and we pour for both homes and businesses.
Most driveways here fail from the bottom up. The base was never compacted right, so the slab flexes and cracks open under weight. Heat adds to it, since surface temperatures in summer run well above the air temperature. We check the base before we quote, so you know whether the slab needs a patch or a full replacement. On a concrete driveway replacement, we haul out the old slab and regrade before the new pour. Cars stay off the new concrete driveway for about seven days.

We start by marking the slab and checking what runs under it. Sprinkler lines and gas or power service near the garage change the demo plan. Then we break out the old concrete driveway and haul the debris off site. A small driveway comes out in a day, and bigger pads take two.
Grade and base come next. We compact the subgrade, set forms to the fall you need, and tie rebar up on chairs. Water has to run away from the garage, so we hold that slope across the whole pad.
Pour day starts early in the summer, often before sunrise. Hot concrete sets fast, and afternoon heat in Las Vegas pulls water out of the surface. We place the concrete, broom the finish, and saw the joints within hours. Then the slab cures, and you can walk on it the next day.
Extensions follow the same steps on a smaller footprint. We pin new concrete into the existing slab with steel dowels and place a joint at the seam. RV pads get poured at 6 inches with heavier rebar, since a loaded coach weighs far more than a pickup.
Price follows square footage, thickness, access, and how much old concrete comes out. One national cost guide lists a concrete driveway at $6 to $15 per square foot installed. Rebar and a thicker slab push toward the top of that range.
Tear out of an old slab adds roughly $2 to $6 per square foot in the same guide. The debris has to be hauled and dumped. The guide prices a new two car driveway of 400 to 576 square feet at $2,400 to $8,600, which puts a full replacement at roughly $3,200 to $12,100.
Treat those as ballpark numbers. Thicker slabs, extra rebar, pump trucks, and long wheelbarrow runs all move the price. We measure the pad and check the grade before we quote, and the estimate is free.
Concrete shrinks as it cures. That shrinkage has to go somewhere, so we cut control joints and tell the slab where to crack. On a 4 inch driveway, joints sit about 8 to 10 feet apart. We cut them within hours of the pour, at about a quarter of the slab depth.
Hairline cracks can still show, usually at corners and along the garage apron. That is normal in concrete and does not mean the slab failed. The cracking we work to prevent is the wide kind, where panels lift or drop. That comes from a soft base or a slab poured too thin.
Desert conditions make the timing matter. Low humidity and wind pull water off the surface before the concrete is ready. Early pours and steady curing keep the top from drying ahead of the slab. If you want the concrete driveway sealed, wait at least 28 days, because sealer over green concrete turns hazy.
We pour concrete driveways in Las Vegas and across the valley. That includes North Las Vegas, Henderson, Paradise, Spring Valley, Enterprise, Sunrise Manor, Whitney, Winchester, Summerlin, and Boulder City. All of it sits in Clark County.
The work splits between homes and commercial property. Homeowners call about a cracked slab out front or a driveway that is too narrow. Property managers and builders call about parking aprons and larger pours.
If your home is in an HOA, start the approval early. Many Las Vegas HOAs review anything that changes the front of the house, and a decision can take 30 days or more. Cutting a new approach at the curb needs a county permit, which is separate from HOA approval.
Ram Masonry has poured driveways in the valley since 2014, with decades of masonry and concrete behind the company. The crew that bids your driveway is the crew that forms and pours it.
We hold Nevada C-18 masonry license #0080771, and we are bonded and insured. Ask any concrete driveway contractor for that number before work starts, then check it with the state board.
Masonry is the other half of the shop. If your concrete driveway runs into a block wall or a set of steps, the same people handle both. Paver driveways and stamped concrete have their own pages if you want a different look.

You get a written price and timeline before any work starts. If a permit or engineering applies, the estimate says so. Repair and rebuild get quoted as separate numbers when both are on the table.
Footings dug to bearing and inspected, rebar and grout in the cells, base compacted before concrete, mortar kept from drying too fast in the heat. The parts you never see get built like the parts you do.
We walk the finished work with you: walls plumb, joints full, slabs draining the right way, site cleaned up. Done means you have looked at every part of it and said so.
