Concrete Driveways
Get a durable, long-lasting driveway that looks great and handles daily wear for decades.
Why Your Driveway Matters
Your driveway is one of the first things people see when they visit your home. But beyond looks, a properly built concrete driveway protects your property value and handles the weight of your vehicles day after day, year after year.
Here in Mount Vernon, our weather can be tough on driveways. Freeze-thaw cycles, rain, and heavy use all take their toll. That is why proper installation is so important. When we pour a driveway, we focus on the foundation first. A solid base prevents cracking, settling, and premature wear.
We have installed hundreds of driveways across Mount Vernon and surrounding areas. Our team knows the local soil conditions and how to prepare your site for long-term success.Our concrete installation process
What Makes a Great Driveway
Not all concrete driveways are created equal. Here is what separates a driveway that lasts from one that cracks early:
Proper Site Preparation
Before we pour any concrete, we remove the old surface, grade the area for proper drainage, and compact the soil. Then we add a base layer of gravel. This creates a stable foundation that prevents settling and cracking.
The Right Concrete Mix
We use a concrete mix designed for driveways. It has the right strength rating to handle vehicle weight and includes air entrainment to resist freeze-thaw damage. This matters in Washington weather.
Control Joints and Reinforcement
Control joints guide where cracks form if they happen. We also use rebar or wire mesh to reinforce the concrete. These steps keep your driveway looking good for years.
Proper Curing
After we pour and finish your driveway, we make sure it cures correctly. This means keeping it moist and protected for several days. Proper curing makes concrete much stronger and more resistant to wear.
Driveway Options for Your Home
We offer several finishes and styles for your driveway. Here is what we can do:
- Broom Finish: The most popular choice. A broom finish provides good traction and works great for all weather conditions.
- Smooth Finish: A clean, polished look that works well for modern homes. Keep in mind this can be slippery when wet.
- Exposed Aggregate: Reveals the natural stones in the concrete for a textured, decorative appearance.
- Stamped Concrete: We can create the look of brick, stone, or custom patterns. stamped concrete options.
- Colored Concrete: Add color to your concrete for a unique look that complements your home.
