After 30 years, our driveway was long overdue for a re-do. We hired Big Daddy to do the job and they got the job done in June 2011. Problem was, we noticed a bit of spalling and cracks developing during the following winter. The worst part was that the blocks along one half of the driveway started heaving well over a half inch higher than the blocks on the other half of the driveway. We contacted Shirley and she came out to check. It may have had to do with the fact that they used 2 separate cement batches (one in the morning, one in the afternoon) when they poured the cement. Even the colours were slightly different, although that didn't really matter to us all that much. The heaving was the biggest problem. To their credit, Big Daddy stood tall on their 1-year warranty, and at their own cost, re-did the entire driveway. They came out this August (2012), tore up the 1-year-old concrete, and poured a single new batch. Now it looks great, all one colour, and the blocks are perfectly level. We'll see in a year if it makes it through the winter without spalling, cracking, or heaving.
