Driveway replacement, stamped patios, and city-compliant sidewalk installation for Beachwood's established neighborhoods. 30+ years of local expertise.
Concrete Solutions Built for Beachwood
Beachwood is one of the most established and well-maintained communities in Greater Cleveland — which means concrete work here is held to a higher standard. The City of Beachwood enforces specific apron thickness requirements (typically 6 inches at the street connection), precise drainage grading standards, and inspection requirements that less experienced contractors frequently fail.
At Gaetano Cement, we have been working in Beachwood for over 30 years and know its building codes, inspection process, and municipal expectations inside and out. We handle every permit, coordinate every inspection, and deliver work that passes on the first visit — because we engineer to Beachwood's actual standards, not the minimum.
Beachwood requires a 6-inch-thick apron where your driveway meets the street — stricter than many neighboring communities. We standard-spec all Beachwood aprons at 6 inches with proper reinforcement and drainage slope. We manage the permit application and inspection process so your project is compliant from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Beachwood?
It depends on the square footage, slab thickness, removal and hauling of the old driveway, the condition of the sub-base, and any drainage or apron work. Instead of quoting a misleading per-foot number, we measure your Beachwood driveway on-site and give you a clear, itemized estimate.
Do I need a permit to replace a driveway in Beachwood?
It varies by municipality. In and around Beachwood, apron work near the public road can require a permit or right-of-way sign-off. We’ll let you know what applies to your project and help you handle it.
How long does a driveway replacement take in Beachwood?
Most Beachwood residential driveways are removed and re-poured within two to four working days, depending on size and weather. You can walk on the new surface in 24–48 hours, but we ask you to wait 7 full days before driving on it.
How thick should my Beachwood driveway be?
Four inches over a properly compacted base is standard for cars; heavier vehicles call for 5–6 inches. We assess how you’ll use the driveway at your Beachwood home and pour to the correct thickness.
Will a new concrete driveway hold up to Beachwood winters?
Yes — when it’s built right. A compacted base, a 4,000+ PSI mix, properly spaced control joints, and sealing are what let a Beachwood driveway handle freeze-thaw cycles and de-icing salt for decades.
