FAQs for Residential Concrete Services
A properly installed and maintained concrete driveway can last between 25 to 30 years. This depends on factors like climate, soil conditions, and the quality of maintenance, such as regular cleaning, sealing, and promptly repairing any minor cracks or damage to prevent further deterioration.
Yes, concrete is a versatile material that can be customized in various ways. You can select from a wide array of finishes, including stamped concrete, exposed aggregate, or smooth surfaces. It also offers different colors and textures to mimic other materials like stone or brick, allowing you to match the aesthetic of your home perfectly.
Regular concrete is primarily focused on durability and functionality, often used for driveways and sidewalks. Decorative concrete, on the other hand, offers additional aesthetic options, such as stamped patterns, colored finishes, and textured surfaces. Decorative concrete is ideal for patios or outdoor living areas where design is as important as utility.
Although concrete has been used for thousands of years, it wasn't until the early 1900s that we began using it for road construction. In 1909, the first-ever concrete road was built on Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. This marked the beginning of concrete's widespread use in public infrastructure, transforming road durability and vehicle safety.
For residential concrete sidewalks, and in areas with heavier foot traffic or where light vehicles may cross, such as driveways, we recommend a thickness of at least 4 inches to ensure durability, strength, and longevity.
