Concrete Driveways
Get a durable, long-lasting concrete driveway that stands up to daily use and Florida weather.
Why Choose Concrete for Your Driveway
Your driveway takes a beating every single day. Cars pull in and out, the sun beats down, and rain tries to wash everything away. That's why you need a surface that can handle it all without falling apart. Concrete driveways give you exactly that kind of strength and reliability.
When we install a concrete driveway in Town n Country, we build it to last decades, not just years. The right mix, proper thickness, and correct reinforcement make all the difference between a driveway that cracks after a few seasons and one that stays solid for 30 years or more.
Concrete also handles Florida's unique challenges better than most materials. It doesn't soften in extreme heat like asphalt does. It resists oil stains and chemicals. And when a storm dumps inches of rain in an hour, properly installed concrete lets water drain away instead of pooling up and causing damage.
- •Withstands heavy vehicle weight without cracking or rutting
- •Stays cool and solid even in Florida's hottest summers
- •Resists oil, gas, and chemical stains better than other materials
- •Requires minimal maintenance over its lifetime
Our Driveway Installation Process
A quality concrete driveway starts long before we pour the first load of concrete. The preparation work determines whether your driveway lasts 10 years or 40 years. We handle every step with the same attention to detail.
Site Preparation and Base Work
First, we excavate to the proper depth and grade the area for drainage. Poor drainage destroys driveways faster than anything else. We make sure water flows away from your home and doesn't pool anywhere on the surface. Then we compact a solid base of gravel or crushed stone. This base supports the concrete and prevents settling that leads to cracks.
Reinforcement and Edge Forms
We install steel reinforcement or fiber mesh to add tensile strength to the concrete. This helps prevent cracks from spreading if they do appear. Edge forms go in next to create clean, straight lines and contain the concrete as we pour. We also add control joints at the right spacing to guide any cracks that might develop over time.
Pouring and Finishing
When everything is prepped correctly, the pour itself goes quickly. We level and smooth the concrete, then add the finish you selected. Whether you want a basic broom finish for traction or a decorative stamped pattern, we apply it while the concrete is still workable. Finally, we cure the concrete properly to develop its full strength and durability.
Design Options and Customization
Your driveway doesn't have to be plain gray concrete. You have more design options than you might think, from simple color tints to elaborate patterns that look like natural stone or brick.
Stamped concrete lets you get the look of expensive pavers or natural stone at a fraction of the cost. We press patterns into the concrete while it's still wet, creating realistic textures and designs. Popular choices include cobblestone, slate, and brick patterns. You can also add color with integral pigments or stains for a completely custom look.
For a more affordable option, consider a broom finish with colored concrete or simple borders and bands. These touches add visual interest without the higher cost of stamping. Exposed aggregate is another popular choice that reveals the natural stone in the concrete mix for a textured, slip-resistant surface.
We work with you to design a driveway that matches your home's style and fits your budget. Whether you want something simple and functional or eye-catching and decorative, we help you make the right choice for your property.
