Concrete suits a lot of Alexandria houses, from early twentieth century homes in Del Ray to postwar neighborhoods in the West End. When a slab has heaved, settled, or cracked into pieces, we break it out, haul it away, build a compacted stone base, and pour a new driveway with control joints. Paver edging or accent bands are a common upgrade, and Joseph Cash gives every estimate himself.
City of Alexandria permits for the curb
In the City of Alexandria, any work in the public right-of-way needs a permit from Transportation and Environmental Services. That covers replacing an apron, and new curb cuts are processed under a specific section of the City Code. T&ES asks for applications ahead of the work, with a drawing and a traffic plan. The City's permit page also reminds contractors to call Miss Utility at 811 before digging. We do that on every job, wherever it is.
Historic districts and visible driveways
Alexandria has two locally regulated historic districts, Old and Historic Alexandria and Parker-Gray, each with its own Board of Architectural Review. Exterior changes visible from a public street generally need a Certificate of Appropriateness, and a front driveway is about as visible as it gets. If your home is in either district, we talk through materials and edging with that review in mind and provide what the application needs.
Alexandria address, Fairfax County lot
Many homes with an Alexandria mailing address, especially along Route 1 toward Mount Vernon, are in Fairfax County, not the City. There the apron goes through VDOT and the county's rules apply instead of the City's. The whole City of Alexandria is a Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area, so runoff gets attention either way. We grade every concrete driveway so water drains to the street or a planned outlet, not toward the house.
What does a concrete driveway cost?
Concrete usually costs more than asphalt and less than pavers. What moves the price on your driveway:
- Size and thickness of the slab
- Breaking out and hauling away the old driveway
- Base preparation and grading
- Finish: broom, exposed aggregate, or stamped
- Paver edging or accent bands
- Access for the concrete truck
Every job is priced after we see it. The estimate is free, and we walk you through the options before you commit to anything.

Concrete Driveways in Alexandria: common questions
Do I need a permit to replace a concrete driveway in Alexandria?
For the apron and anything in the right-of-way, yes. In the City of Alexandria, Transportation and Environmental Services issues right-of-way permits, and new curb cuts get their own review. In the Fairfax County parts of Alexandria, aprons on state roads go through VDOT. We confirm before quoting.
Does the Board of Architectural Review need to approve my driveway?
If you are in the Old and Historic Alexandria or Parker-Gray district and the driveway can be seen from a public street, a change in material or layout generally needs BAR approval. Outside those districts it does not. We tell you which case applies.
What does a concrete driveway cost in Alexandria?
Size and slab thickness, breaking out and hauling the old driveway, base preparation, the finish, paver edging, and access for the concrete truck drive most of it. Summit has not published prices. Each job is priced after Joseph sees it, and the estimate is free.
Why did my old concrete driveway crack?
Usually because the ground under it moved or stayed wet. Older driveways were often poured on little or no base. We build a compacted stone base, slope the slab to drain, and cut control joints so any cracking happens in a straight line where we planned it.
