Concrete driveways

Concrete is a favorite driveway surfacing material. It’s suited to any size or shape of driveway. Many people install concrete driveways because they’re durable. If a concrete driveway is laid and maintained accurately, it can last for at least 30 years. Concrete driveways are also relatively zero-maintenance. Many professionals recommend that you coat your concrete in a sealer. This isn’t essential, but it’ll keep the driveway in good condition and prolong its life. This sealer is not hard to apply and needs reapplying about once every 2 yrs, or whenever the driveway starts showing symptoms of wear and tear. Cement driveways also need periodic cleansing and sweeping. Concrete driveways are also popular because they could be customised. Different dyes can be found to change the colour of concrete to match its surroundings. Cement can even be used to create routine imprinted driveways, which are generally unique and attractive. Concrete driveways do have downsides. They are inclined to cracking, in particular when it’s very hot or cool or they’re under extreme pressure. Cracks in concrete are difficult to repair. Although they could be stuffed in, this often leaves a driveway looking patchy and mismatched. The ultimate way to repair a concrete driveway is to replace it, that can be expensive.
