Is your old driveway starting to show signs that it has to be replaced? Your crumbling driveway can affect the overall curb appeal of your property, which can cause a more expensive problem if you plan on selling it in the future. If you notice extensive potholes or cracks in your driveway, then you’d want to call a driveway specialist from Arteaga's Work. Your concrete driveway doesn’t require as much maintenance as asphalt to continue looking good and is durable. Below are 3 of the reasons you should install a concrete driveway on your Tyler, TX property.
Your new concrete driveway can last up to 30 years or more as long as you invest in maintenance. In addition to that, how long your driveway lasts will also depend on whether it was properly installed. For example, I’ll make sure your new driveway has a durable foundation that can drain water. You should work with a company that has years of experience in both driveway installation and paving.
Not only is concrete durable, but it also doesn’t require as much maintenance as asphalt. Because the weather is unpredictable, you’ll want to make sure you apply the concrete sealer annually. Your driveway specialist can also recommend you power wash or sweep your driveway regularly when you decide to avail of driveway construction services. Like asphalt, concrete contracts and expands with changing temperatures; however, my company can prevent most potholes and cracks by installing your driveway in large square concrete slabs. Many of the customers in Tyler, TX I work with appreciate that the chances for potholes are nonexistent.
Your concrete stays cool to the touch during summer due to its light color. On the contrary, asphalt absorbs the sun’s heat. Have you ever heard people joke about the heat by saying they can fry eggs on their driveways? Because asphalt driveways are black, they absorb more of the sun’s heat during the summer, which can be troublesome for people with bare feet. Even in the summer heat, concrete stays cool!
