[TRACKING NUMBER GOES HERE]Driveway Replacement · Shawnee, KS
Shawnee's typical home was built in 1990 — which means east Shawnee's original driveways are 30-plus years into Johnson County clay and freeze-thaw, and showing it. We tear out the failed slab, rebuild the base, and pour a driveway spec'd for the soil it's sitting on.

Driveway Replacement
Shawnee splits cleanly in two. East of I-435, the established neighborhoods — three-quarters of them owner-occupied, most homes detached single-family — are in the replacement wave now: cracked panels, settled aprons, and surfaces worn past sealing. West along the K-7 corridor, new subdivisions still need first pours, third-car pads, and patio slabs.
Either way, the spec matters more than the finish. Johnson County's expansive clay moves slabs poured on skipped bases. Our standard: full tear-out and haul-off on replacements, excavation of failed subgrade, compacted gravel base, a 4-inch minimum air-entrained pour (5 inches for truck and RV traffic), and control joints spaced to the slab. Most two-car replacements in Shawnee run $6,000 to $12,000 complete; stamped finishes run $8,000 to $12,000+. Full breakdown on our Kansas City driveway cost guide.
In Shawnee, the apron between the sidewalk and the street sits in the city right-of-way and is the homeowner's responsibility. If yours is dropped or broken, we price its replacement — permit and inspection included — inside the written estimate, not as a change order later.
Backyard patios, pool decks, and fire-pit pads from plain broom finish to full stamped and colored work, sealed for Kansas weather.
The Pour Judgement Spec
Every replacement we quote is built on the same six line items — the difference between a slab that lasts decades and one that cracks in five winters.

How It Works
Five steps, the same on every job — so you know exactly what happens at your home and when.
We walk the project with you, check drainage and subgrade, and measure. You get a written, line-by-line estimate — tear-out, base, pour, finish, sealing — with no allowances and no obligation.
The failed slab is broken out and hauled away the same day. Nothing gets buried on site and nothing gets poured over — the old problem leaves with the truck.
The moved clay and broken subgrade that caused the failure are excavated, then rebuilt with compacted AB-3 gravel, graded so water runs away from the slab instead of under it.
A 4-inch minimum air-entrained pour — 5 inches where trucks, boats, or RVs park — with control joints spaced to the slab and cut on time, finished broom, smooth, or stamped to your spec.
Walk on it in about 24 hours, park cars in about a week, full cure at 28 days. We leave you the care notes — including when to seal — so the new slab stays the way it was poured.

Johnson County's expansive clay moves slabs poured on skipped bases — swelling wet, shrinking dry. That's why the spec matters more than the finish: excavation of failed subgrade and a compacted gravel base under every pour.
Five inches for truck and RV traffic, over the standard compacted gravel base.
Most residential driveways pour in one to two days once the old slab is out. You can walk on the new concrete in about 24 hours, park cars on it in about a week, and it reaches full cure at 28 days.
