Recommendations to have a long lasting commercial
driveway
There are some recommendation while installing
commercial concrete driveways.

• Base of the driveway

• For commercial concrete driveway base base should
  be a minimum of 6inches thick , made up of an
  aggregate base material and fully compacted.
  Excavation for the driveway, therefore, needs to
  be the depth of the concrete plus 6 inches more,
  to accommodate for the base.
• The deepness of the commercial concrete driveways
  should be at least 6 inches. If using
  fiber-reinforced concrete , the same depth of
  your pour is required.

• Reinforcement for the driveway

• A reinforcement layer of wire mesh or rebar above
  the base layer (1 inch from the bottom of the
  slab) is necessary to keep cracks from starting
  and expanding.
• Using steel reinforcement will provide additional
  structural capacity for your driveway and is
  especially important if the slab will be exposed
  to heavy traffic.
• Reinforcement won't prevent cracks, but it will
  help hold them together if they do occur.
  Expansion joints are necessary when concrete
  slabs touch fixed objects like foundations,
  street curbs, etc.

• Ideal Weather

Keep your eye on weather! Ideal conditions are 55
degrees, overcast and high humidity. Don't pour
concrete in extreme hot or cold weather.
