What Makes a Quality Concrete Driveway?
The driveway is one of the most valuable investments you will make in your home. Concrete driveway slabs are designed to provide long-term durability through high-quality mix designs developed for Kirkland’s weather conditions. In addition to our quality materials, we also utilize best practices when it comes to the installation process by including: preparing the site correctly, providing adequate depth to the base, strategically placing the reinforcing material, and controlling the curing process.
Concrete driveways will outlast asphalt driveways many times over due to asphalt requiring regular sealing to extend its life span, as well as asphalt crumbling and deteriorating after extended use. Compared to asphalt driveways, the advantages of a concrete driveway far exceed longevity and maintenance cost savings, ultimately adding value to your home. A properly installed concrete driveway in Kirkland may last up to 30 years without requiring much maintenance.
Benefits of Concrete Driveways
Durability: Typically lasting for 30+ years or longer than an asphalt driveway will last (typically twenty years)
Maintenance: Low maintenance; simple cleanings with periodic seal coatings to keep your driveway in new condition
Weather Resistant: The material is resistant to Kirkland’s rainfall, freezing/thawing conditions, and extreme temperature swings better than other materials.
Customization Options: Virtually unlimited design options available to help you create the exact look you have envisioned for your driveway.
Value Added: A properly installed driveway can increase the value of your property and improve its curb appeal.
Reflectivity: Lighter colored driveways are less reflective of heat as a result of their light color; thus, they stay cooler than darker colored asphalt.
Our Concrete Driveway Installation Process
Site Evaluation/Preparation: Determine whether you have adequate drainage, assess the grade of all of your pre-existing surface areas, as well as prepare a solid base for your project to begin
Setting Forms: The use of precise forms is key in order to achieve the correct thickness and provide for a clean edge on your concrete.
Installation of Reinforcing Materials (Steel Rebar/Wire Mesh): Provides additional strength to your concrete and helps prevent it from developing cracks as a result of shrinkage
Pouring/Filling Concrete and Applying a Finish: Quality control is our top priority when pouring concrete and applying a finish that will meet your expectations using proven techniques.
Protective Curing/Sealing: After the concrete has been poured, proper curing ensures it reaches its maximum strength, protecting your investment by sealing your new surface.
We are committed to providing an open line of communication throughout the entire process, as well as doing everything possible to protect your property from the negative impacts associated with the construction process.
Concrete Driveway Overlay: Refresh Without Replacement
A concrete driveway overlay provides an affordable alternative to replacing an existing driveway that has some damage on its surface but remains structurally sound. A thin (approximately 1.5-2 inches) layer of new concrete is placed over the top of the old surface. The advantages of this method are that it allows you to have a “new” look at a lower price than having the old driveway removed and replaced entirely. It is a good option if the surface damage of your driveway does not require the underlying structure to be repaired or altered.
