What Sets Us Apart From Other Concrete Driveway Companies?
A driveway made of concrete is your house’s toughest working area; we build ours with extreme weather in mind. Our concrete driveways will be able to handle extreme temperatures (heat), large amounts of rainwater during a storm, and withstand the corrosive properties of saltwater in the air.
We have installed over 200 concrete driveways throughout Miami Beach. All are designed to fit the needs of this coastal environment, as well as proper base preparation, the right mix of materials, and strategically placed joints to allow for controlled cracking.
Concrete Driveway Design Ideas
Concrete driveway design options can reflect an individual’s personal preference, and therefore can be much more than a parking area. We offer a variety of design elements to create your own unique concrete driveway design:
Smooth Classic Finish: A clean, classic look that can complement many architectural styles.
Exposed Aggregates: The decorative stone used on exposed aggregate driveways provides great traction and visual appeal.
Stamped Concrete Designs: Stamped patterns of stamped concrete can mimic brick, slate, or even other custom designs at a fraction of the price of pavers.
Custom Colored Concrete: Use colored concrete to match your home’s exterior colors.
Borders & Accents: Borders and accents can be made of contrasting edge materials or inlays of various shapes and sizes to add visual interest and depth to your concrete driveway.
We will work with you to create a unique concrete driveway design that fits your budget and reflects your personality.
Comparing a Concrete Driveway to an Asphalt Driveway: Who Wins?
With concrete driveways compared to asphalt driveways, concrete driveways are a better investment for you.
Durability: A concrete driveway will last anywhere from 30 to 40 years; an asphalt driveway will need to be replaced every 15 to 20 years.
Maintenance: Concrete requires very little maintenance; Asphalt, however, requires frequent resealing.
Heat Tolerance: In the hot Miami Beach sun, concrete will remain cooler than asphalt and won’t get as soft as asphalt does.
Design Options: With a concrete driveway, you have unlimited design options; an asphalt driveway will always be black.
Cost: While a concrete driveway may cost more upfront, its longer lifespan will ultimately save you money over time.
