Concrete offers property owners long-term durability with less maintenance and repairs. A concrete driveway, for example, can last several decades with occasional degreasing and resealing. Replacing asphalt with concrete offers many benefits, including:
The process of replacing asphalt driveway with a new concrete one usually takes 1-3 days depending on the size, terrain and weather conditions. Professionals will take the following steps:
We start by assessing the area’s size, slope and possible challenges. Then, we discuss your design preferences and customization for the new concrete driveway.
We start by removing the existing asphalt using a skid steer and hauling it away in trailers. Our removal is efficient, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily routine.
We level the ground and add a compacted subbase material. A solid base is needed for a durable concrete driveway to help prevent cracking and sinking.
Once the base is ready, it’s time to pour the concrete. The new driveway will follow the original path, ensuring straight lines and smooth transitions with the sidewalks. We use an appropriate design mix of concrete for strength and longevity and then apply desired finishes or textures.
The curing process can take several days, depending on the mix and weather conditions. After curing, we apply a sealant to help protect the concrete from stains, moisture and weather damage.
