Work with a proven residential concrete contractor in Myrtle Beach for turnkey driveway tear-out and replacement or crisp coastal broom-finish concrete framed with custom paver ribbons across Carolina Forest and Conway. Installed cleanly in 3–5 days with turf and sprinkler protection for $18–$20 per sq ft (+$2.50–$4.00 tear-out; +$3.00–$5.00 optional stone sub-base upgrade).
Walk almost any 5-year-old neighborhood in Carolina Forest or Conway and you see the exact same pattern: spider-web corner cracks, sunken garage threshold drops, and chalky surface spalling. Builders cut corners by ordering 3,000 PSI concrete, adding excessive water at the chute for easy screeding, skipping proper compaction, and leaving thin wire resting flat on loose dirt where it adds zero tensile strength.
As a specialized concrete driveway contractor, Driveway Kings pours true 4,000 PSI air-entrained ready-mix concrete (5%–7% air) with micro-fiber plus a heavy-gauge 6"x6" welded steel wire grid (ASTM A1064) over compacted coastal sand sloped at ≥ 2.0%. We diamond-saw early-entry contraction joints within 6 to 12 hours every 8 to 10 feet and seal cured slabs with breathable silane-siloxane chloride guard.
Compacted Stone Sub-Base Upgrade (+$3.00–$5.00 / sq ft): While compacted Horry County sand performs strongly under standard passenger driveways, lots with soft fill pockets, inland Conway clay-sand soil transitions, or heavy boat and Class A/C RV traffic benefit enormously from upgrading to a 4" compacted #57 / ABC crushed stone sub-base cushion beneath the slab.

Our concrete driveway contractor team pours standard 650 sq ft 4,000 PSI steel-grid driveways for $11,700–$13,000 (250 sq ft / $4,500 minimum project mobilization), plus optional +$3.00–$5.00/sq ft stone sub-base or +$2.50–$4.00/sq ft driveway tear-out and replacement.
$18.00–$20.00 / sq ft
Fine non-slip broom texture bordered by crisp steel-troweled 6" picture-frame bands and clean early-entry saw cuts spaced on geometric 8'–10' grids.
+$3.00–$5.00 / sq ft Upgrade
Add 4" of compacted #57 and ABC crushed stone beneath a 4"–6" 4,000 PSI steel-grid slab for Conway clay pockets, soft coastal fill, boats, and heavy RVs ($13,650–$16,250 per 650 sq ft total).
+$2.50–$4.00 / sq ft Demo
Hydraulic breaker demolition, haul-off of failing 3,000 PSI concrete, fresh grading, and optional upgrade to 60mm paver ribbons or cool-touch Spray Deck finish.
Explore every protective layer inside our 4,000 PSI concrete system—from compacted sand subgrade or our optional 4" #57/ABC stone sub-base upgrade up to breathable salt protection.
Blocks Atlantic salt mist, irrigation iron rust, and coastal moisture penetration beneath the concrete surface without creating a slick plastic film—while our underlying 4,000 PSI slab and 6"x6" ASTM A1064 welded steel wire grid handle daily axle loads cleanly.
Partner with a local residential concrete contractor in Myrtle Beach to match slab depth to your vehicles (250 sq ft minimum / $4,500 min mobilization). Existing driveway tear-out and replacement adds +$2.50 to +$4.00/sq ft; 4" compacted #57/ABC stone sub-base adds +$3.00 to +$5.00/sq ft.
| Slab Engineering Class | Target Vehicle Load | Slab Thickness & Base Spec | Steel & Joint Spec | Installed Range (/ sq ft) | Typical 650 sq ft Pour |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard 4,000 PSI Broom Concrete | Sedans, crossovers, golf carts (≤ 7,000 lbs GVW) | 4.0" Slab / 6" Edges on compacted native coastal sand subgrade | 6"x6" ASTM A1064 steel wire grid + micro-fiber + 8–10 ft saw cuts | $18.00 – $20.00 | $11,700 – $13,000 |
| Concrete + 4" Stone Sub-Base Upgrade | Soft fill lots, Conway clay transitions, full-size pickups | 4.5"–5.0" Slab + 4" compacted #57 / ABC crushed stone base | 6"x6" heavy steel wire grid + fiber + early-entry diamond saw cuts | +$3.00 – $5.00 over $18–$20 base | $13,650 – $16,250 (+$1,950–$3,250) |
| Heavy Boat / RV Monolithic + Stone Cushion | F-250/350 diesels, twin-axle boat trailers, Class A/C RVs | 5.0"–6.0" / 8" Edges + 4" compacted #57 / ABC stone cushion | Heavy-gauge 6"x6" welded steel grid + fiber + penetrating salt sealer | +$4.00 – $5.00 over $18–$20 base | $14,300 – $16,250+ (combined total) |
We diamond-saw a crisp break line at your garage slab so demolition vibration never transfers into your home foundation, then remove every broken slab chunk and buried wire mesh.
After compacting native coastal sand (or upgrading with 4" #57/ABC crushed stone), we set ASTM A1064 6"x6" steel wire grids, pour 4,000 PSI concrete, and frame with paver ribbons.

New 4,000 PSI concrete driveways with 6"x6" welded steel wire grid and micro-fiber over compacted sand cost $18 to $20 per square foot installed ($11,700 to $13,000 for 650 sq ft). A 4-inch #57/ABC stone sub-base upgrade adds +$3.00 to +$5.00 per sq ft ($13,650 to $16,250 total), and existing concrete tear-out adds +$2.50 to +$4.00 per sq ft.
Standard tract-home driveways frequently use watered-down 3,000 PSI mix poured at 3.5 inches over uncompacted fill with thin wire resting flat on the dirt and widely spaced hand-tooled joints. When coastal sand shifts under rain or turning tires, thin unreinforced slabs snap along weak shrinkage zones.
While well-drained Horry County coastal sand compacts tightly for everyday passenger driveways, our +$3.00 to +$5.00 per sq ft compacted #57 and ABC stone sub-base upgrade is strongly recommended for soft organic fill pockets, Conway clay-to-sand soil transitions, and 5 to 6 inch monolithic slabs carrying twin-axle boat trailers or heavy RVs.
We apply deep-penetrating breathable Trident Break Wall or EZ Nano Technology Trident Sea Wall reactive silane-siloxane chloride sealer inside concrete pores, repelling Atlantic salt mist, irrigation iron rust stains, and moisture freeze-thaw spalling with zero silicone, wax, or slippery surface film.
