Concrete Driveways

Why Choose Concrete for Your Driveway

Your driveway is one of the first things people see when they visit your home. It also takes a beating every single day from vehicles, weather, and temperature changes. That's why choosing the right material and installation method matters so much.

Concrete driveways are the most popular choice in Cedar Hill for good reason. They last 30 years or more with minimal maintenance, handle our hot Texas summers without softening like asphalt, and give your home a clean, professional look that boosts curb appeal.

We've installed hundreds of driveways throughout Cedar Hill and the surrounding areas. Our process focuses on proper ground preparation, quality materials, and precise finishing techniques that prevent the common problems you see with poorly installed driveways.

What Makes Our Driveway Installation Different

A driveway is only as good as what's underneath it. Many contractors rush through the prep work, and that's when you get cracking, settling, and early failure. We don't cut corners.

Here's what we do on every driveway project:

• Complete site evaluation to identify drainage issues and soil conditions
• Proper excavation to remove unstable soil and organic material
• Compacted gravel base that won't settle or shift over time
• Steel reinforcement or fiber mesh for added strength
• Quality concrete mix designed for our local climate
• Proper slope for water drainage away from your home
• Control joints to manage cracking in predictable locations
• Professional finishing for a smooth, attractive surface
• Adequate curing time to reach full strength

Every step matters. Skip one, and you're setting yourself up for problems down the road. We've seen too many driveways fail because someone tried to save money on prep work or used substandard materials.

Your Driveway Options

Not all driveways need to look the same. We offer several finish options to match your home's style and your budget:

• Standard Finish: Clean, smooth surface that's affordable and timeless
• Broom Finish: Textured surface that provides better traction in wet weather
• Exposed Aggregate: Decorative option that reveals the natural stone in the concrete
• Stamped Concrete: Premium look that mimics brick, stone, or other patterns
• Colored Concrete: Add color throughout the concrete or apply surface stains

We'll walk you through the pros and cons of each option during your free consultation. Your choice depends on your budget, your home's style, and how you plan to use the driveway.

The Installation Process

Most driveway projects take 3-5 days from start to finish, depending on size and weather conditions. You'll need to keep vehicles off the new concrete for at least 7 days, and we recommend waiting a full month before parking heavy vehicles or equipment.

We handle everything from start to finish. That includes getting any necessary permits, coordinating utility locates, removing old concrete if needed, and hauling away all debris. You don't have to lift a finger.

Once we're done, we'll show you how to care for your new driveway and answer any questions you have. We want your driveway to last for decades, and proper maintenance makes a big difference.
