Why Choose a Concrete Driveway?
Concrete driveways offer numerous advantages for Pueblo homeowners that go beyond simple functionality. We ensure that every installation provides a lasting return on investment through superior material selection and expert placement.
- Durable: Our driveways are designed to function effectively in extreme heat and cold in the Pueblo area. This durability is important to you, as this is what will keep your driveway looking great and functioning properly year after year.
- Low Maintenance: Compared to other driveway surfaces, such as asphalt, gravel, etc., there is much less maintenance needed. Because of this, you will have fewer hours spent working on your property and more hours to enjoy your outdoor space and not have to think about re-surfacing your driveway.
- Long Lasting: When a driveway is properly installed, it will last for over thirty years if you take good care of it and re-seal it as recommended. This is a very long-lasting option for a permanent fixture at your residence and one of the least expensive ways to add value to your property.
- Versatile: With our variety of textures and color options, we can create a driveway that matches the specific architecture of your home. We also want to allow you to express your own personal style through the design of your entrance, while matching your landscaping.
- Value: Investing in a well-constructed and long-lasting concrete driveway will increase the overall resale value of your home and enhance its professionalism and curb appeal. Homebuyers will typically consider a well-constructed driveway a bonus when purchasing a home, as it is an indication of the quality of the entire house.
Our Concrete Driveway Process
We follow a systematic and professional approach to ensure that your new driveway is built to the highest industry standards for quality and endurance. Our team manages every technical detail of the construction so you can feel confident in the long-term performance of your investment.
- Site Assessment: Prior to starting the construction, we assess your property to determine if there are any site-specific challenges, such as soil type, grade changes, etc. This assessment provides an opportunity for us to properly design your driveway to meet your property’s drainage requirements and to provide a stable foundation for your driveway.
- Design: The next step is to design your driveway based on your preferences, budget, and the architectural style of your home. At this point, we determine what size driveway you want/need, along with any other features that you would like to include, which will be most beneficial to your family’s daily vehicular needs.
- Grading: To prepare for your new driveway, we remove the dirt and debris from the area and then compact the sub-grade material to minimize future shifting. We install the framework for your driveway and add necessary reinforcements to provide the interior strength needed for heavy traffic.
- Poured and Finished: Once the framework is completed, we pour and finish your driveway with care using a variety of high-quality concrete mixes that are specifically designed for the local climate. Using specialized equipment, we grade the finished surface of your driveway and apply the desired finish to provide a smooth, even, and clean appearance.
- Cured and Sealed: After we complete the pouring and finishing of your driveway, we allow it to cure for the amount of time necessary to develop its maximum strength and to prevent early surface cracks. After the curing process has been completed, we seal your driveway to protect it from moisture penetration and degradation caused by the intense Colorado sunlight.
Concrete Driveway Design Options
We provide a variety of customization choices to ensure your new entrance perfectly matches the unique aesthetic of your home and landscape. Our team helps you select the right combinations of textures and colors that will remain durable and beautiful in the Colorado climate.
Stamped Patterns
We use special equipment to create patterns on your driveway that resemble the pattern of brick, cobblestone, or tile and achieve a higher-end look for less than other alternatives. Stamped patterns create an architectural design element to your property while retaining the durability and low-maintenance aspect of a solid concrete surface.
Colored Concrete
When creating your driveway, our staff will add a specific color to the mix so that it complements the color scheme of the outside of your home and the surrounding natural area. Integral coloring creates a consistent color throughout the entire slab and protects against fading due to the intense, high-altitude sun.
Exposed Aggregate
Exposed aggregate creates a textured, non-slip surface that allows the natural beauty of the stones used in the mix to show through. The exposed aggregate is most commonly used for sloping driveways in Pueblo because it increases traction for vehicles when there is snow or ice present.
Decorative Borders
Decorative borders allow you to visually enhance the overall appearance of your property by adding contrasting border(s) around the perimeter of your driveway. These decorative frames can be created in multiple colors and/or stamped patterns to create a completely one-of-a-kind professional entrance to your home.
Why Pueblo Concrete Services for Your Driveway?
We offer a high level of expertise that ensures your new driveway is built to survive the specific environmental pressures of the Colorado landscape. Our dedication to quality means we never cut corners when it comes to the structural integrity or the final appearance of your project.
- Local Knowledge: Our staff has extensive knowledge of the various types of soils and weather conditions that exist in the Pueblo area. This provides us with the ability to properly prepare the ground and select the right type of concrete to protect against the freeze/thaw cycles commonly seen in this region.
- High-Quality Materials: Our company utilizes only the best (high-grade) concrete mixes that have been formulated to provide maximum durability and long-term strength in high altitude regions. The use of these higher-end products guarantees a driveway surface capable of supporting heavy vehicle traffic without premature deterioration.
- Experienced Craftsmanship: Every step of the excavation and pour process is carefully executed by our professional crew members. Each of them has received their education through extensive hands-on training, which translates into a perfect finish with regard to levelness and smoothness; again, this represents the high standards of us.
- Attention to Detail: In addition to providing the correct slope to facilitate adequate drainage, we also include reinforcing steel or mesh in all high-stress areas. These detail-oriented aspects of construction are essential to the prevention of both water pooling and structural cracking over the course of the many decades that you will own and operate your driveway.
- Timely Completion: We understand how important your time is, and we strive to complete each project according to the agreed-upon schedule so that you experience the least amount of disruption to your normal daily activities. Additionally, we arrive at the job site on time and maintain an organized working environment to ensure that the project progresses in a timely manner from beginning to end.
Concrete Driveway Maintenance
Your new concrete driveway will require minimal maintenance to stay in peak condition for many decades. We recommend following these simple care steps to protect your investment and maintain the professional appearance of your property.
- Cleaning the Driveway: You need to use a power washer to clean your driveway frequently to get rid of all of the dirt, debris, and other material that has collected on top of your driveway. If you don’t do this regularly, then the material will continue to collect on top of your driveway and create an ideal environment for the growth of mold and mildew.
- Sealing the Driveway: It is recommended that you seal your driveway every 2 – 3 years to apply a layer of protection to the driveway to prevent the sun’s ultraviolet light from damaging the driveway and also to prevent moisture from penetrating the driveway. Sealing your driveway is also important in the Pueblo area to help to prevent scaling on the driveway surface and to help to keep the color of your driveway looking good for a long time.
- Removing Stains: If there is ever an oil spill or other type of chemical spill on your driveway, you need to act quickly to remove the spill before it permanently stains the surface of the driveway. The best way to remove most spills is by using a mild soap and water solution.
- Winter Care: In the winter, it is highly recommended that you do not use any of the strong chemical-based products available at the local hardware store to melt ice on your driveway. Using these types of products will significantly damage the driveway over the course of the winter months due to the freeze-thaw cycle.
