Before you replace a driveway in Wilton
Most of Wilton's houses went up between the 1950s and the 1970s (half were built before 1971), so a lot of original driveways here are past their service life or on their second or third asphalt overlay. With 84% of homes single-family detached, most Wilton driveway jobs are straight residential replacements: tear out, rebuild the base, pour 5 inches, and you're parking on it about a week later.
Ledge and glacial boulders turn up in a lot of Wilton excavations. If we hit rock, removing it is a line item on the estimate, not a surprise on the invoice.
The median home in Wilton was built in 1971, newer than the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than nearby Fairfield, where the median is 1960.

Driveway rules in Wilton. A driveway on your own lot is usually a zoning question rather than a building-permit one. The apron and any sidewalk crossing are in the town's right-of-way, so expect a permit from public works or engineering, and in some towns an inspection before the pour. Connecticut has one statewide building code, so the technical rules are the same here as in the next town; what changes is the paperwork. We call 811 (Call Before You Dig) at least two full business days before we dig.

Concrete driveways in Wilton: questions
Do I need a permit for a new driveway in Wilton?
The slab on your own lot usually doesn't need a building permit. The apron is in the town's right-of-way, and work there generally needs a permit from Wilton's public works or engineering office; zoning can also limit width or lot coverage. We confirm the current rules before we price the job.
How long does a driveway replacement take in Wilton?
Most single-family driveways take two to three working days: tear-out and base, then the pour. Walk on it the next day and park on it after about a week.
What happens if you hit ledge?
We probe during the estimate where we can. If rock turns up that has to come out, we stop, show you, and price removal before we go on.
Do you pour driveways near Wilton?
Yes. We also pour driveways in Weston, New Canaan and Ridgefield, and across Fairfield County.
