Benefits of Using Concrete

Using concrete for the driveway is one of the best choices you'll ever make. Concrete may not be as luxurious as brick, tile, or wood, but it has amazing qualities that make it super worth it. Some of its major benefits include:

Strong and Durable

One of the chief reasons concrete driveways are so popular is that concrete is a highly hard-wearing material. Driveways need to put up with vehicle traffic, foot traffic, and a whole array of weather conditions that make life extremely difficult. Even so, concrete driveways manage to put up with these conditions wonderfully well, providing excellent service even in the face of them. If you're looking for a long-lasting surface that won't buckle or break due to a bit of sun or rain, then this is the right option for you.

Low Maintenance

Many people who come to us and ask about the possibility of a concrete driveway at their property raise concerns about the amount of maintenance and upkeep that they'll need to carry out – but there's no reason to be worried here. Fortunately, concrete is a material that won't require much input once it's been installed. It requires very little maintenance. Just the most basic cleaning and clearing consistently will be enough to keep your surface in its optimal condition.

Cost-Efficient

The upfront cost that you'll need to pay for a concrete driveway is not the lowest available on the market – though it's far from the most expensive either – even bearing that in mind, it still makes financial sense to go with concrete for your driveway. Since this material will stand the test of time, you're not going to need to worry about replacing it any time soon. Considering these installations last for decades without deteriorating considerably, this means that you're certainly not going to have to pay up again any time soon.

Curb Appeal

It's always worth remembering that your driveway is the part of your property that people will see before anything else – it's the space that gives away the first impression. As such, you need to make sure that you have a driveway that is certain to impress. Whether you utilize plain or stamped concrete for the driveway, you're going to have a smart aesthetic that doesn't disappoint.

Decorative Driveway

Are you tired of that plain gray concrete finish? If your answer is a yes, then the decorative driveway option is for you. Also known as stamped concrete, decorative concrete adds extra curb appeal to your new concrete driveway. It's also a method that's ideal for updating an existing driveway. This method helps add character to your space, making it more unique to you. With the proper concrete driveway contractors, you will end up with an area that's even more beautiful and appealing than what you expect it to be.

Concrete Driveway Installation 

Our company, Fort Wayne Concrete Contractors Co., has been in the concrete industry for years. We operate and provide concrete services in the Fort Wayne, IN area. We know how crucial it is to have a properly installed concrete driveway to get your money's worth. Thus, we follow a strict concrete driveway installation process to ensure high-quality results.

To provide you with a five-star quality concrete driveway surface, we follow these steps:

1. Project Site Assessment
   • As a premier concrete contractor, we make sure to do a site assessment before the actual construction begins. We mainly check the type of soil in the area, making sure it's not problematic. Otherwise, we do the necessary actions to make it work for the concrete surface.
2. Preparation and Delivery of Materials
   • The construction of a concrete driveway involves onsite preparation. This includes processing of building permits, hauling debris and other materials out of the construction area. Doing so enables us to start on a clean slate. We also measure the project site in preparation for the installation of concrete slabs. During this step, all materials must be in to start and finish the project on time. Usually, we use a ready-to-use concrete mixture. But, in some cases, we do it on our own following a specific concrete mixture ratio involving gravel, cement, sand, water, and air.
3. Driveway Installation
   • Driveway installations can be very challenging. That is why you need an expert concrete contractor to do the job for you. Fort Wayne Concrete Contractors Co is known for providing residential and commercial properties with the best driveways in the area. Pouring concrete is a crucial process. That is why we meticulously go through it, ensuring we deliver concrete slabs that last for years. We use reinforcing steel for added strength, especially since concrete driveways hold heavy vehicles.
   • Meanwhile, during this process, we ask our clients to finalize their choice -- whether to go for a plain concrete finish or a decorative one. Rest assured, we keep your preference in mind as we go through the installation process, so we get to give you what you want.
4. Quality Assurance
   • Whether it's an asphalt driveway or a concrete driveway project, we always do a quality assurance check. We owe it to you to give you your money's worth. We make sure concrete surfaces are ready before we hand over the project to you.
   • When we do a quality check, we make sure first that wet concrete is already cured. Otherwise, we won't be able to check for driveway cracks and other possible damages. Our team goes over the entire driveway to see if any concern needs to be addressed immediately.
5. Clean-up and Turnover of New Concrete Driveway
   • So, your new driveway is ready. What's next? Well, in our case, we clean it up first. We make sure it's ready to use once we turn it over to you. We haul all construction debris leaving you with a clean, finished driveway.
