Why Choose Concrete for Your Driveway?
Concrete driveways offer several advantages compared to gravel or asphalt.
Long-Lasting Strength
A well-built concrete driveway resists cracking and sinking when installed with the right base and reinforcement. This professional approach to concrete installation ensures superior durability, saving you money on costly repairs over time.
Low Maintenance
Unlike asphalt, a concrete driveway requires less frequent upkeep. Simple cleaning and occasional sealing are all that's needed to keep your driveway looking fresh for years to come. This low-maintenance quality makes concrete an excellent long-term investment for your property.
Curb Appeal and Value
Investing in a concrete driveway is a smart choice for your home. A clean, well-finished driveway installation instantly boosts your home's curb appeal and can significantly increase your property value.
How We Build Driveways—Our Process
We focus on quality at every step to ensure your driveway stands the test of time.
Site Preparation
We start by removing any old driveway material and clearing the area. Then, we level and compact the soil to create a stable foundation.
Forms and Reinforcement
Next, we set up forms to shape your driveway. Steel reinforcement bars (rebar) or wire mesh may be added for extra strength, depending on the project.
Pouring and Finishing
Concrete is poured carefully, then finished with the appropriate texture—smooth, broom, or stamped—for safety and aesthetics.
Proper Curing
After finishing, we cure the concrete with care. This step is critical to reach full strength and durability, usually taking several days.
Why Proper Drainage is Essential for Your Concrete Driveway
Water is your driveway's worst enemy. Without proper drainage, rainwater can pool and seep beneath the surface, causing soil erosion that weakens the base. Over time, this leads to significant issues like cracks, sinking, and uneven surfaces.
At MC Concrete PDX LLC, we specialize in concrete driveway installations that are built to last. We design every driveway with effective drainage solutions in mind, ensuring proper slopes and drainage paths direct water away from your home. This protects your investment from water damage, keeping your concrete driveway stable and looking great for years.
Additionally, proper drainage helps prevent dangerous ice buildup during the cold winter months in Oregon, making your driveway safer for your family and guests.
Maintenance Tips—Keep Your Driveway Strong
