Concrete Driveway Langley
Getting a concrete driveway installed on your property will increase your property value and make it look beautiful. The great thing about concrete driveways is that they are durable enough to hold up under the pressure of heavy vehicles and still last a long time, saving you future maintenance costs that you would have to spend if you had used another surface material with a shorter life expectancy like asphalt. Bottom line: It’s a much better long-term investment. It’s not uncommon to see concrete driveways that have lasted easily over 30 years. You are going to save a lot of money in the long term! Concrete can endure extreme weather conditions such as constant rain, heavy snowfall, and scorching heat during those long hot summers. It does not soften when it’s hot! A concrete driveway will remain much cooler than an asphalt one. You’ll save a lot of stress maintaining concrete because it is resistant to weed and vegetation growth on its surface. And concrete driveways are versatile design-wise and don’t just come in flat finish form. If you want your driveway to look unique and special, we can even add different colors and textures to your driveway. We have many different design templates for different kinds of driveways to show you. Choose your design from our collection and we’ll gladly give you the estimated cost. |

Concrete is extremely easy to maintain. For example, if you find only a small amount of damage on your concrete driveway, then you’ll only have to spend a small amount of money to repair just that portion of it rather than the whole thing!
And if you find stains on concrete, all you have to do is use soap and water to scrub out the stains, saving you a lot of money and time on the maintenance that you would need to perform on other surface materials. Here are some common types of Concrete Driveway Finishes that come in various styles, textures, designs, and colours: |
|
Stamped Concrete Driveway
|
Weeds grow much more easily between other materials such as brick and cobblestone than between stamped concrete as the surface is imprinted and weeds only have limited space to grow. Other stone surfaces make it much harder to maintain. Concrete is the easiest driveway material to maintain and you can get the desired look you are going for through stamping the concrete.

Sand Washed Concrete Driveway
|
The great thing about a sand washed finish is that it can give you a smooth finish but still allow you a choice of colours, designs, and patterns. With a sand washed finished, you can select tones such as tans and granite. It can be a great option depending on the rest of the landscape of your home.

Exposed Aggregate Concrete Driveway
|
This type of driveway finish will give you a distinctive texture because it looks just like a sea of pebbles. And we’ll give you various colours, patterns, and designs to choose from. This surface is obtained by first placing the concrete and then removing a thin layer of cement to uncover the coarse aggregate. Not only is exposed aggregate concrete great for driveways, sidewalks and patios are also great places to have this type of decorative concrete.

Broom Finish Concrete Driveway
|
This is the most common kind of concrete driveway, mostly because it gives you great value for the dollar. It has very good traction and can be used jointly with other kinds of concrete finishing. This type of finish is called broom because a broom or brush is used to create the slip resistant texture on the concrete surface.
