43' Curved Driveway Addition — Champions Point, Henryville IN

📍 Champions Point, Henryville, IN

Custom 43-foot curved driveway addition in the Champions Point neighborhood — full sequence from sub-base prep through final broom finish. Form-set to follow the existing sidewalk line, compacted gravel base, full #4 rebar grid tied at every intersection (mandatory on a curved pour to prevent radius cracking), and a broom finish for traction in wet weather. The homeowner picked up an extra parking spot and a clean curb-appeal upgrade in a single project. Curved driveways are noticeably harder to lay out and pour than rectangular slabs — every form-board has to bend evenly, every section of rebar has to follow the radius, and the finish has to stay uniform around the curve. Done right the first time.

Clarksville Driveway Extension + Custom Concrete Pads

📍 Clarksville / Jeffersonville, IN

Custom driveway extension plus dedicated concrete pads for the trash cans and the AC unit. The homeowner picked up extra parking, the runoff now routes cleanly away from the slab instead of pooling, and the finished pour adds real curb appeal. Function, protection, and a sharp finished look — done right the first time.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Are these photos from actual Cornerstone jobs?+

Yes, every before/after pair on this page is a real Cornerstone job completed for a Southern Indiana or Louisville metro homeowner. We do not use stock photography or manufacturer-supplied images — if you see it here, our crew did the work.

Can I see more photos of a specific problem type?+

Yes — our gallery has additional photos organized by service type, and we can bring job-specific photos to your free inspection if you want to see how we handled a situation similar to yours. Just ask; there is no shortage of examples.

How long does a typical foundation repair or waterproofing job take?+

Most single-system jobs — interior waterproofing, carbon fiber strap installation, sump pump replacement, crack injection — are completed in one to two days. Larger scopes with multiple services or significant excavation take longer. Your inspector gives you a realistic timeline in writing before any work is scheduled.

Do you do this kind of work on my home?+

Almost certainly yes. We handle foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, drainage, concrete work, and masonry across a full range of home ages, styles, and sizes. From 1940s block-foundation homes to newer construction, the same diagnostic process applies.

Can you give me an estimate based on before/after photos of my problem?+

We cannot — and anyone who does is guessing. Photos are useful for ruling options in or out, but an accurate estimate requires an onsite inspection to check soil, drainage, access, wall condition, and related factors that photos cannot show. The inspection is free and it is the only way we give a real number.
