Signs You May Need A New Concrete Driveway
If you notice cracks, potholes, drainage problems, or your driveway does not look like it is in good shape it is time to replace your driveway. All of these things are common signs that can happen to concrete driveways over time. Concrete driveways can be more expensive upfront compared to an asphalt driveway. In the long run, they are cheaper because they last longer. When potholes form it can be dangerous for your car or other motorized vehicles that you may have. Potholes that have been on your driveway for a long time can cause more damage to the suspension system and contract over time. The sun can even cause your driveway to fade in color over time. A weathered driveway can result in more susceptible to future damage.
What To Choose?
If you are looking to install a new concrete driveway, Harvey Concrete Company highly recommends a concrete driveway. Concrete driveways are better compared to gravel driveways because the gravel can wash away in the different weather conditions that it may encounter over the years. In the winter, it is very difficult to plow snow due to loose gravel. Lastly, gravel driveways do not look as good as concrete driveways. Concrete driveways have a much cleaner look to them and can help make your house look luxurious. Concrete driveways are more durable and last longer. Compared to asphalt, concrete withstands basic wear and tear and weather elements. However, the upfront cost of asphalt is cheaper than concrete, but the lifespan of a concrete driveway is a lot longer than that of an asphalt driveway. Asphalt driveways also require a lot of maintenance due to their lack of durability.

Durable Foundation
When building a concrete foundation for a driveway, concrete contractors look for a firm solid base to support the weight of your concrete. If your driveway needs something as a base, you can also have gravel to level out the area.

Concrete driveways are very durable for the most part. However, they can still be stained. Here at Harvey Concrete Company, we have a few tricks to get certain types of stains off your driveway that you may find helpful. If you have rust, then use oxalic acid. If you have mildew or skid marks the best option is to pressure wash your concrete. If grease or oil leaks onto your concrete, we recommend you put kitty litter on it to soak it up. If the stain has been there for a while use a degreaser. We want to make it easier on you and ensure that your driveway stays as fresh as possible for decades.
