Yes — and it's our most popular install. We trowel a 1/2" (12 mm) resin bound stone overlay directly over your existing concrete or asphalt slab. No demolition. No dumpster. Done in a day for most residential driveways.
When the overlay is a fit
- The slab is structurally sound (no major heaving or settlement)
- Surface cracks are hairline to ~1/4" — these get prepped and bridged
- Spalling and pitting are limited to the surface, not deep delamination
- Drainage is acceptable (overlay is permeable, but the substrate matters)
When you need a tear-out instead
- Structural failure — slab is broken into pieces or sunken
- Major frost heave or active settlement
- Deep delamination across more than ~20% of the surface
We assess on-site for free. If your slab needs to come out, we'll tell you straight — no point overlaying a failing base.
The process
- Pressure wash and degrease the existing surface
- Prep cracks, spalls and joints
- Apply primer for chemical bond
- Hand-trowel the resin bound stone matrix
- Cure: walk in 24h, drive in 48h
Why it's worth doing
You save thousands vs. tear-out, your driveway looks brand new (in whatever color blend you want), and it's permeable, slip-resistant and warranted for life. Hard to beat.
