Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a concrete driveway last?
A well-constructed concrete driveway can last 25 to 30 years or more when installed correctly. Longevity depends on proper base preparation, reinforcement, curing and drainage. Regular cleaning and sealing can further extend its lifespan and help maintain its appearance.
How long before a new concrete driveway can be used?
Foot traffic is usually possible after 24 to 48 hours, but vehicles should generally stay off the driveway for at least 7 days. Full curing continues for around 28 days, during which the concrete gains its maximum strength.
What is better, plain or decorative concrete for driveways?
Plain concrete offers a clean, cost-effective finish, while decorative concrete adds visual interest through patterns or textures. Decorative options can improve street appeal without compromising durability, making the choice largely dependent on budget and design preference.
Our Installation Process
A successful concrete driveway starts well before the concrete is poured. Our process begins with site preparation, ground levelling and base compaction to create a stable foundation for your driveway. We'll then set formwork to shape the area, allowing for proper drainage and clean edges. Our team adds reinforcement to improve strength and help control cracking over time.
Once poured, we'll carefully finish and cure the concrete to achieve a smooth, durable surface suited to local conditions. Proper curing plays a crucial role in long-term performance, enabling your driveway to resist wear, moisture and temperature changes for years to come. Reach out to book a service.
