Your driveway is the first thing people see and the hardest-working slab on your property. In Cherry Hill it also takes a beating from freeze-thaw winters that crack weaker concrete, plus the daily weight of cars, trucks, and deliveries.
A driveway is something you buy for the next thirty years, not just this season. The way it is prepped and poured today decides whether you enjoy it or patch it a few winters from now.
Papaneri & Sons has poured driveways across Cherry Hill and South Jersey since 1987. We are family-owned, ACI certified, and we pour a stronger 4500 PSI mix on every job.
This page walks through how we install a new concrete driveway, how long it lasts, the finishes you can choose, and how we handle the township permits for you.
If you have ever driven on a cracked, sunken driveway, you know how fast a cheap pour goes wrong. We would rather do it right once than be the crew you call later to fix someone else's shortcut.
Most driveways crack early because of poor ground prep and a weak mix, not bad luck. We fix that at the source on every job.
It starts with a free on-site estimate and a firm price up front, so there are no surprises at the end. We measure the area, check how water drains, and talk through the finish you want.
Next we tear out the old surface and haul it away. We grade the ground for proper slope so water runs off the slab, then compact a solid stone sub-base so the concrete has something strong and stable to sit on.
We form clean edges and add steel reinforcement where the job calls for it. Then we pour our 4500 PSI mix and place control joints at the right spacing, which gives the slab a planned place to move instead of cracking at random.
We finish the surface to the texture you chose, tool the joints, and protect the fresh concrete while it sets. Curing matters as much as pouring, so we never rush it.
When the job is done, we clean up the site and walk the finished driveway with you before we leave.
Good drainage is part of a driveway that lasts. We pitch the slab so water sheds toward the street or the yard instead of pooling against your garage or foundation, which is where freeze damage usually starts.
Poured and prepped correctly, a concrete driveway lasts 30 years or more. Two things get you there: proper sub-base prep and a stronger mix.
Most crews pour a 3500 to 4000 PSI mix. We pour 4500 PSI on every job. That higher strength stands up better to heavy vehicles and the freeze-thaw cycle that breaks down weaker concrete every New Jersey winter.
We pour most residential driveways 4 inches thick. For heavier vehicles like work trucks or an RV, we step up to 5 or 6 inches and add reinforcement where it helps carry the load.
A little care adds years. Sealing the surface, keeping the joints clean, and going easy on harsh de-icing salts all slow down wear. When a driveway is past saving, we tell you honestly and quote a replacement instead of a patch that will not hold.
Watch for warning signs as a driveway ages: wide cracks, sections that have sunk or heaved, crumbling edges, and water that pools after rain. Caught early, some of these are repairable, and we give you a straight answer either way.
A new driveway does not have to look plain. We pour clean broom-finish driveways for a classic look with good traction in wet and icy weather.
We also offer stamped concrete that mimics brick, slate, or stone, plus exposed aggregate and colored finishes for something custom. A decorative border can frame the driveway and tie it into your walkway or porch.
Driveway work is one of the concrete services we offer in Cherry Hill. Many homeowners pair a new driveway with matching sidewalks and walkways or a new patio while we are on site, which keeps the whole property looking like one finished project.
Cracked, sunken, or crumbling? We also handle full replacements and smaller repairs, and we tell you which one actually makes sense for your driveway.
Color and texture also affect comfort and safety. A lighter finish stays cooler in summer, and a broom or exposed-aggregate surface grips better than a smooth one when it is wet or icy.

In most South Jersey townships, replacing or widening a driveway needs a permit, and some also have rules about the apron where the driveway meets the street.
We handle the permitting and the inspections for you, so the job stays on schedule and passes the first time. You do not have to chase paperwork or wait on hold with the township.
Because we are local to Cherry Hill, we know each township's process and setbacks, and we can answer your questions quickly when they come up.
If your project touches a public sidewalk or the right of way, we coordinate that work too, so everything is finished to code.
We have worked in Cherry Hill, Voorhees, Marlton, Mount Laurel, and the surrounding towns for decades, so the permit and inspection step rarely slows a job down.
After more than 39 years, our reputation is built one clean pour at a time. Here is what you get when you hire us for your driveway.
The same family crew shows up on every job, with no rotating subcontractors. You deal with the people who actually pour your driveway.
Every driveway gets our stronger mix as standard, not only when you ask. It holds up to heavy use and hard winters.
We pull the township permits and coordinate inspections, so the paperwork is off your plate from start to finish.
Our work is certified through the American Concrete Institute, and we are a licensed and insured New Jersey contractor.
You can usually walk on it within a day or two and drive on it after about seven days of curing. Concrete keeps gaining strength for several weeks, which is exactly why the mix and the cure matter so much. We give you exact timing for your job before we start.
Most residential driveways are poured 4 inches thick, and we step up to 5 or 6 inches for heavier vehicles. We also place control joints and steel reinforcement where they belong to manage cracking and carry load. Thicker slabs and properly spaced joints are the difference between a driveway that lasts and one that fails early.
Yes. We handle full tear-outs and haul-away, then grade for drainage and compact a solid stone sub-base before the new pour. For a free estimate anywhere in Cherry Hill or South Jersey, call us at (856) 354-9338.
