Your driveway is one of the first things visitors notice about your home, and it is one of the most heavily used surfaces on your property. A cracked, stained, or outdated driveway detracts from your home's curb appeal and can even create safety hazards. A new driveway from ACE Design & Build instantly elevates the look of your property while providing a durable, functional surface engineered to handle years of daily use.
We offer a full range of driveway materials to match your home's architectural style and your personal preferences. Poured concrete with broom, stamped, or exposed aggregate finishes remains the most popular choice for its durability and clean appearance. Interlocking pavers offer design flexibility, easy repair, and excellent drainage. Decorative stamped concrete can replicate the look of cobblestone, brick, or natural stone at a fraction of the cost.
Beyond aesthetics, a properly constructed driveway requires careful attention to drainage and load engineering. Los Angeles driveways must be sloped correctly to direct water away from your home's foundation, and the subgrade must be properly compacted to support vehicle loads without settling or cracking. Our crews follow a rigorous process of subgrade preparation, compaction, forming, and reinforcement that ensures your driveway performs as well as it looks.
Whether you need a simple replacement of an existing concrete driveway, a complete redesign with decorative pavers, or a new driveway for a property that lacks one, ACE delivers a finished product that enhances your home's value and makes a strong first impression every day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Driveways
Driveway costs typically range from $10 to $30 per square foot depending on the material. A standard two-car concrete driveway (approximately 400 to 600 square feet) typically costs between $4,000 and $12,000. Paver and stamped concrete driveways are on the higher end of the range.
Most driveway installations are completed in three to seven days, including demolition of the old surface. Concrete driveways require an additional curing period of five to seven days before vehicle traffic. Paver driveways can typically be driven on the same day they are completed.
Both are excellent options. Concrete is more cost-effective upfront and offers a clean, uniform look. Pavers provide design flexibility, easier repair of individual units, and better drainage. Our team will help you evaluate both options based on your priorities and budget.
In most cases, a straightforward driveway replacement on the same footprint does not require a building permit. However, if you are expanding the driveway, modifying the curb cut, or changing drainage patterns, a permit may be required. We handle all permitting when applicable.
A properly installed concrete driveway typically lasts 25 to 30 years or more. Paver driveways can last 30 to 50 years with minimal maintenance. Regular sealing every two to three years helps extend the life and appearance of both materials.
