MARTINEZ — Host, Sarah Rutan: If you’re installing a new concrete driveway or patio, don’t overlook the importance of the soil base beneath it. Today we’re in Martinez with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor David Figueroa of Kodiak Construction to learn more.
Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, David Figueroa: When you do a concrete driveway or patio, make sure the subbase is compacted, whether it&#8217;s just plain soil or it&#8217;s base rock. And make sure it&#8217;s drained first. And the rebar should be on the middle of the concrete. If it&#8217;s four inches thick, should be somewhere between one and a half and two inches into the concrete. And get it back to compact. And if you don&#8217;t compact the sub-soil, eventually the water will get on the patio, the driveway and the concrete will tend to sink.
