This Silver Lake project replaced an aging driveway with a modern ribbon (twin-strip) concrete driveway. The crew demolished and hauled away the old driveway from the apron to the gate, sub-compacted the soil, set rebar and forms, and poured two 24-inch-wide concrete bands with a clean broom finish, graded for proper drainage.
The open strip between the bands stays as soil, ready for grass, decomposed granite or gravel – a water-wise look that fits Silver Lake’s mix of modern and classic homes. Ground Up Builders installs concrete driveways, walkways and patios across Silver Lake and the eastside of Los Angeles.
