The short answers are… Concrete driveways are extremely durable, can last for many years and support a lot of weight. Concrete can also be installed in a variety of colours, textures and patterns. This will definitely add curb appeal and value to your property.

The concrete driveway width plays a big part in determining its lifespan. It should be wide enough to prevent vehicles from driving off the edges as this causes the material to crack and break off. We recommend a minimum width of 20 Ft. This will allow two cars to park in the driveway side by side. If possible try to go with a width of at least 24 Ft. This will allow both cars plenty of room to open their doors simultaneously.

There are several things to consider. If it has MINOR spalling or cracking, an overlay may be your best option. However, if it is cracked, heaving or spalling, it is usually best for you to have a new one installed.

Concrete is normally placed at four inches thick, however, this is still dependent on the quality of the soil, gravel base and preparation where the driveway will be installed. A visit from one of our friendly estimators will give you all the information necessary to make an educated decision.

The industry standard for a concrete driveway is 2500psi. We can install weaker or stronger based on your particular preference and budget.
