Is your driveway starting to show signs that it needs to be replaced? A crumbling driveway can affect your home’s curb appeal, which can be an issue if you plan on selling in the near future. Extensive cracks can also pose a safety hazard and you’ll want to contact Slate Rock Construction’s experts right away.

A concrete driveway is long-lasting and doesn’t require as much time and investment as pavers, asphalt and other materials to maintain. Reasons you should install a concrete driveway include:

LONG LASTING: Your new concrete driveway can last up to 30 years (or longer) as long as you invest in maintenance. How long your driveway lasts will also depend on whether it was properly installed. It’s important that you hire a concrete company that has plenty of experience in driveway paving.

LOW MAINTENANCE: Not only is concrete long-lasting, but it also doesn’t require as much maintenance as other materials. Because Utah experiences harsh freeze-thaw cycles, you’ll want to make sure you apply concrete sealer about once a year. Slate Rock Construction also recommends you sweep or power wash your driveway every so often.

CUSTOMIZABLE: You don’t need to envy people who have luxurious cobblestone or brick driveways. You can duplicate that same aesthetic with stamped concrete. A stamped concrete driveway gives you the look of more expensive materials while boosting the curb appeal of your home. Concrete can also be dyed to give it a rich vibrant color.
