CONCRETE DRIVEWAY INSTALLATION

If you want to keep your concrete driveway and walkway looking its best, you need to take proper care of them. 
Before constructing your concrete driveway and walkway, we need to prepare the sub grade. A good sub grade will help prevent slab settlement and cracking. 

​A concrete driveway and walkway will also make your yard more attractive and safe for pedestrians. Concrete is a great option for exterior surfaces and can last for 50 years or more.

Types of Concrete Driveways 

There are several types of concrete driveways available and each offers different advantages and disadvantages. 

     Concrete Driveway Options:
  1. Plain Concrete Driveway: The simplest form, made of standard concrete. It's durable and cost-effective but may lack visual appeal.
  2. Colored Concrete Driveway: Concrete is dyed with pigments to create a more visually appealing surface. This option allows for customization in various colors.
  3. Stamped Concrete Driveway: This type mimics the appearance of stone, brick, or tile through stamping techniques. It's often used for a decorative touch.
  4. Exposed Aggregate Driveway: The top layer of concrete is washed away to reveal the aggregate stones underneath, providing a textured surface that’s also slip-resistant.
  5. Stenciled Concrete Driveway: Similar to stamped concrete, but uses stencils to create patterns and designs on the surface, allowing for intricate designs.
  6. Reinforced Concrete Driveway: This driveway uses steel reinforcements to improve strength and durability, making it suitable for heavier loads.
  7. Permeable Concrete Driveway: Designed to allow water to drain through the surface, reducing runoff and promoting groundwater recharge. It often consists of larger aggregates and fewer fines.
  8. Concrete Paver Driveway: Made of individual concrete pavers, this option allows for various patterns and designs, making it easy to replace damaged sections.

Types of Concrete Walkways 

One of the most important aspects of a home is the walkway leading to the front door. This is the most traveled path in a home, so it is essential that it is free from cracks, bulges, and gaps.
