Concrete Driveways, Sidewalks & Slabs

New pours and full replacements: driveways, NYC-spec sidewalks, stoops, patios, retaining walls, and structural slabs. Proper subgrade, correct joints, broom or smooth finish — poured by the same crew every time.

JBS pours residential and commercial concrete across NYC: driveways and aprons, sidewalks to NYC DOT specification, stoops and steps, patios and walkways, retaining walls, and structural slabs with rebar and formwork. Standard driveway work uses a 4,000 PSI mix over a compacted gravel base with control joints placed so slabs don't crack randomly.

What we pour

Flatwork & structures.

Driveways & aprons

Tear-out and repour or new construction. Full-depth 4,000 PSI pour, compacted base, correct joint layout, broom or smooth finish.

Sidewalks

NYC-spec flags with dowels at joints and ADA curb ramps. Tree-root damage handled per Parks rules. Have a DOT violation? →

Stoops & steps

Rowhouse stoops, entry slabs, and steps — formed, poured, and finished to match the house.

Retaining walls

Poured, block, and stone walls engineered for sloped lots: proper footings, drainage stone, weep holes.

Slabs & superstructure

Cast-in-place walls, structural slabs, leveling, rebar and formwork — residential and B2B for general contractors.

Patios & walkways

Backyard patios and paths with finishes from standard broom to exposed aggregate.

Standards

Why JBS slabs last.

  1. Excavate & compact. Old slab out (into our own container), subgrade excavated to depth and mechanically compacted with a gravel base.
  2. Form & reinforce. Straight forms, correct slopes for drainage, wire mesh or rebar where the load calls for it.
  3. Pour full depth. 4,000 PSI air-entrained mix — not a thin cap over the old slab.
  4. Joint correctly. Control joints tooled or saw-cut on proper spacing; expansion joints at structures.
  5. Finish & cure. Broom or smooth finish, edges tooled, curing protected — because strength is built in the first week.
Decorative concrete

Stamped, colored & exposed aggregate.

The same 4,000 PSI pour can carry a finish: stamped concrete driveways and patios in stone and slate patterns, exposed aggregate, colored and stained concrete, and broom or trowel finishes approved from a sample before we pour. Beyond driveways, the crew handles concrete patios, walkways, front steps, garage slabs, and concrete repair and leveling where full replacement isn't needed yet — the whole scope people search under "concrete contractor" or "cement contractor," done by one crew.

Where we pour

Concrete contractor in Queens, Brooklyn & across NYC.

As a Queens driveway contractor based in Richmond Hill and a concrete contractor in Brooklyn, the Bronx and Manhattan, JBS pours new driveways and aprons and handles concrete repair across NYC — cracked or sunken slabs, spalled steps and stoops, broken curbs. We are also retaining wall contractors for NYC's sloped lots, from Bronx hillsides to Queens and Brooklyn backyards. See our sidewalk repair and commercial concrete pages.

FAQ

Concrete questions

How long before I can use a new concrete driveway?

You can walk on it after 24–48 hours, park a car after about 7 days, and the slab reaches its rated strength at 28 days. We schedule the pour so the cure window works around your household.

What makes a driveway crack, and how do you prevent it?

Most cracking comes from a bad subgrade or missing joints, not the concrete itself. We excavate and compact a proper gravel base, pour a 4,000 PSI air-entrained mix at full depth, and saw or tool control joints on a correct spacing so any movement happens at the joint, not across the slab.

Can you pour concrete in winter?

Yes, within limits. Cold-weather pours use heated mix, accelerators, and insulated blankets. Below certain temperatures we will tell you honestly that waiting produces a better slab — a driveway is a 30-year asset and we treat it that way.

Do you build retaining walls?

Yes — poured concrete, block, and stone retaining walls, engineered for sloped lots with proper footing depth, drainage stone, weep holes, and backfill. Sloped-lot walls in the Bronx and Staten Island are regular JBS work.

Do you do small jobs like a stoop or a few sidewalk flags?

Yes. Stoops, aprons, patios, walkway sections, and partial sidewalk replacements are everyday work for our concrete crew, often bundled with a container for the debris.
