Cold weather and plowing can be hard on asphalt and gravel driveways, and those damp days take their toll on wood steps and decks. If you are worried about rotting steps or crumbling driveways as fall heads into winter, consider concrete for your repairs or replacements.
Concrete, properly designed and installed, will provide a neat, like new appearance for many years, and with a minimal amount of maintenance. Advances today that allow colors and textures have also made concrete an aesthetically pleasing choice, and still within the range of budget-conscious families.
Wood decks and steps, while an attractive addition to your home’s exterior, require annual sealing and staining to keep that finished look and prevent rot. Even with regular care, wood structures tend to warp and split, and protruding nail heads can be a hazard.
Asphalt driveways and walkways are prone to crumbling, especially at borders, and once it starts, moisture seeping in speeds the process even more.
Concrete steps, walkways and driveways provide solid, safe structures around your home that need little more than a sealant every two or three years to provide protection from the elements. You can count on years of service with no crumbling or rotting creating safety hazards. A full range of colors and textures means you can customize your property. Create the look of stones or bricks without the work of keeping weeds away or the worry of uneven pavement.
