Maintenance of a concrete driveway can be simple. Patching problem areas as soon as you notice them, properly sealing the concrete, removing snow carefully, avoiding deicing agents, parking away from the driveway's edges, and routinely cleaning your driveway will ensure the longevity of your investment.
Today's most durable driveway installation options are concrete, cobblestone, asphalt, brick, and interlocking pavers. In addition to their long lifespans, these materials can withstand any climate, require minimal maintenance, provide a seamless drive, and enhance your home's curb appeal.
Prior to construction or maintenance, assessing prospective exposure can prevent premature deterioration. Specific varieties of cement, water-repellent sealants, and chemically-resistant barrier coatings are specific preventative measures for protecting concrete from chemical attacks.
Typically, a driveway must be resealed every two to ten years.
