Concrete Paving Guide

1. Why Homeowners Choose Concrete

Concrete is one of the most versatile paving materials available. It’s ideal for residential and commercial use, providing long-term durability, minimal maintenance, and a clean, finished look. A properly installed concrete surface can last up to 30 years or more with proper care.

  3. Pouring & Leveling: We pour the concrete evenly and use specialized tools for a smooth finish.

  4. Finishing & Curing: Once leveled, we apply broom or stamped finishes and allow proper curing to maximize strength.

Typical installation takes 1–3 days, depending on weather, size, and design.

    Q & A Section

    Q: How thick should a concrete driveway be?
    A: Most residential driveways should be at least 4 inches thick. For heavier vehicles or commercial lots, we recommend 5–6 inches.

    Q: How long before I can drive on my new concrete?
    A: Generally, you should wait 7 days before parking vehicles on your new surface to ensure full strength.

    Q: What’s the best way to protect my concrete driveway?
    A: Applying a quality sealer every 2–3 years prevents staining and moisture penetration.

    Q: Does concrete crack over time?
    A: Small surface cracks are normal due to natural curing and temperature changes, but our control joints help minimize visible cracking.
