Concrete Driveways

Whether you’re on the hunt for a long-lasting driveway material or want to give your house curb appeal, concrete is an excellent choice. Concrete is versatile and can work well in different environments with any architectural style; preferred because of its durability, smart appearance, low maintenance needs, and high-quality construction right out of the gate.

When it comes to the design of your new driveway, you want a surface that will be both durable and slip-resistant. This is especially important if you expect the driveway to have a lot of foot traffic or experience heavy rainfall often. Concrete provides an excellent base and foundation for your driveway because of its secure, slip-resistant surface, especially when paired with the exposed aggregrate technique.

Concrete is also a fantastic choice for driveways in the hot Australian sun. With less UV radiation absorption, concrete produces cooler surface temperatures than other types of driveway materials when it’s scorching outside – an absolute lifesaver on those very hot days!

The best thing about a concrete driveway is that they’re able to be installed much more quickly than other options like asphalt or brick, which means more time for enjoying all the great features while still guaranteeing longevity so that you can have your dream driveway in no time.

The durability and longevity of concrete is what’s made it the most popular driveway choice in Australia over the past few decades. In contrast to the more common asphalt, concrete lasts approximately 30-40 years without major maintenance.

Additionally, due to it being much more robust than other driveway materials, it has the added benefit of being able to bear more weight, so visitors can park their vehicles on it without any worries of damaging the driveway.

The Aussie climate is unforgiving, and concrete can shift when temperatures vary wildly from day-to-day within seasons like summertime – especially in Ballarat concrete driveways can lead to cracking over time.

With our highly skilled professionals, our concrete driveway contractors help minimise the risk of cracking with control joints that are installed along a drive as necessary and in varying lengths depending on what is needed by each customer.

To further assist with keeping your driveway looking its best, our company also uses a specialised sealant that helps prevent staining (car oils), protects the colour and prevents additional slippage.
