What Makes a Great Concrete Driveway?
A concrete driveway in Massachusetts has many uses beyond simply a place to park. Concrete driveways are a long-term investment in your properties, where you will have to endure Massachusetts winter weather, spring thaw, summer heat, and vehicle weight over many years.
All of our concrete driveways are designed specifically for Newton conditions. Freeze-thaw cycles, drainage, soil, and architectural design all factor into how we design your driveway to look beautiful and last longer than 30 years with little to no repair.
Concrete Driveway Design Ideas
We offer multiple design options to match your vision:
Smooth Classic Finish: A clean and modern look with a broom-textured finish that is great for contemporary homes and has a no-slip surface.
Aggregate Exposure: Exposes the natural aggregate of the stone, which creates an interesting visual while also providing a good amount of traction when it is wet.
Stamped Patterns: Stamped concrete driveway designs that will resemble brick, cobblestone, or natural stone but are much less expensive than real materials.
Concrete Color Options: There are many different colors available that will allow us to find a custom color that matches the outside of your home as well as the surrounding landscape.
Border Design Options: Create contrast by using borders or patterns around your driveway and add architectural details to your property.
Our Concrete Driveway Installation Process
1. Site Evaluation:
We will evaluate your property factors, such as the condition of your property (grade), how water flows across your land (drainage), what type of soil you have (soil conditions), and how well it can be accessed (access). The results of this evaluation will help us determine the most suitable approach for your specific property site.
2. Preparation:
We will dig down to the proper depth, pack down the sub-base layer to prevent settling, and make sure that all excess water drains in a direction away from your house and garage.
3. Forms and Reinforcement:
We will accurately place and set up the forms for clean-cut edges, and then install steel reinforcing material (rebar or wire mesh) into your concrete to add strength to it.
4. Concrete Pouring:
We will apply a quality mix of concrete specifically formulated for the New England climate, and include sufficient air-entraining agents to provide freeze-thaw protection to the finished surface.
5. Finishing:
Finally, we will apply your desired finish to your new patio surface whether that is; smooth, textured, stamped or exposed aggregate, while ensuring that there is enough of an incline for the water to drain properly off of the finished surface.
Concrete Driveway Exposed Aggregate: Texture and Beauty
Are you looking for something more visually appealing than basic concrete? The exposed aggregate concrete driveway provides the visual look of natural stone aggregates within the mix of the concrete, while giving your driveway a textured appearance.
Additionally, this type of finish offers many benefits to homeowners:
Improved Slip Resistance: The slip-resistance is improved when the driveway is wet, providing a safer surface for vehicles and pedestrians.
Visual Appeal: The natural stone colors add visual appeal to the driveway, complementing your home’s exterior and landscaping.
Low Maintenance: This finish is low maintenance as there are fewer visible cracks in the finished product, and it lasts longer than many traditional options.
Climate Performance: Exposed aggregate finishes work exceptionally well in Newton’s occasional rain climate, as they provide greater traction than smooth concrete finishes.
Concrete Driveway Overlay: Refresh Without Replacement
If your existing driveway is structurally sound but looking worn, a concrete driveway overlay offers a cost-effective solution. We can apply a new layer of decorative concrete over your existing surface, giving you a fresh appearance without the expense of complete replacement.
Overlays work well for:
Restore and Resurface: We restore driveways that have been stained or have lost their color, returning them to a pristine condition.
Add Decorative Finishes: This process allows us to add a decorative finish to plain concrete driveways, such as textures or patterns, without the need for a full tear-out.
Update Outdated Designs: We update outdated driveway designs to contemporary styles, ensuring your home’s curb appeal matches modern trends.
