There are different options available when it comes to getting your concrete driveways done. In some areas, you can even ask a contractor to handle it for you! But how do you know which option is right for you? You might think that getting your driveways finished would be simple, right?

Here's why it's important to hire a professional contractor for your concrete driveway. By doing so, you can avoid spending too much money and the risk of potential legal issues. But how can you make sure to choose the right contractor?

Let's explore what you need to know about hiring a professional contractor to handle your driveway. It's a smart choice that will save you both time and stress.

What is a concrete driveway?

A concrete driveway is a paved road with a wooden sidewalk or path over it. When a homeowner builds a concrete driveway, they usually use stakes in the ground to anchor the concrete to the ground.

If the homeowner then plants a species of tree or shrub that is similar in color or growth form to the stake, the concrete driveway can be considered a walkway.

Concrete driveways are usually wide, quite a bit wider than a single-lane street, and often have trees or other vegetation between the concrete and the sidewalk or path.

If you choose to have your concrete driveways finished, they should be at least as wide as the lane you’re planning to drive on. Some concrete driveways are also usually a combination of both wide and narrow lanes.

A finished driveway

Ready to get started on your concrete driveways? You’re in luck because there are plenty of these finishes to choose from. Here are just some of the types of concrete driveways you can choose from.

Fountain Paving

Fountain

Fountain, This is the most common kind of concrete driveway, and it’s usually finished in granite. Granite is a natural stone with a beautiful color and pattern. It’s easy to work with and can be used for either decorative or professional applications.

Typically, a fountain concrete driveway will have a single track, either asphalt or concrete.

Paving

Paving is another popular type of concrete driveway. Paved concrete drives are usually finished with loose gravel to prevent seepage and keep the dirt and rock away.

Typically, a paving, concrete driveway will have a single track, with plastic or reinforced gravel path between the two tracks. Paving can also be done in a regular form, without plastic or reinforced gravel paths.

These types of concrete driveways are mainly used for commercial uses. Paving should be done in a method that is preventative rather than immediate. This prevents future erosion and damage.

It’s also good for the environment because it prevents chemicals from getting into the groundwater. Paving should be done in a gradual ramp-up because this prevents the growth of competitive plants and other plants that would require more water. The courtesies law applies here because a concrete driveway should be kept free of any competition.
