An excellent choice for driveways is concrete. It is strong, durable, and easy to maintain. Concrete driveways provide your vehicles a safe space for parking, and add value and curb appeal to your home exterior. When well cared for, a residential concrete driveway that was properly installed should last up to 20-30 years. Keep in mind that temperature and environment can affect lifespan of concrete, putting it closer to the 20 year life. Driveway repairs can be made to extend the life of the concrete drive and help in preventing driveway replacements.
Concrete can develop cracks over time and hiring a concrete contractor for crack and joint repair will extend the life of slab concrete. Larger cracks and crevices might be beyond repair and instead a concrete demolition and removal prior to replacement would be in order.
