Concrete Driveways & Patios

A driveway speaks volumes about the integrity and maintenance of a home. Like your lawn, the driveway is often the first visible point of contact for guests and envious neighbors, who marvel at your home’s curb appeal. As the primary egress, your driveway is the natural branch between your home and the outside world. It deserves a long-lasting surface that isn’t prone to breaking and cracking. Aesthetics aside, a structurally sound driveway adds to the longevity of your lawn and home. Debris from a fragmenting driveway poses an immediate risk to your property. Dislodged pieces of gravel and rock can make its way to your lawn where grass cutting equipment can launch it toward your home and vehicles. Just think about those rising insurance premiums!

Going with a concrete pour or paving the first time around can save you thousands of dollars in the long run, once you factor in the inevitable maintenance and replacement costs associated with asphalt. Concrete is denser than pavement and lasts longer. Concrete is also more durable and can withstand the pulverizing forces of Mother Nature. Unlike asphalt, concrete is more environmentally friendly. You must also consider how quickly blackened pavement will fade in just a few years. Concrete however maintains that classic Greek white that is the prominent color in ancient architecture and even our nation’s capital.  At Evolve Concrete Construction, we take pride and value in installing thick concrete pours that accentuate your home without detracting from its natural curb appeal. 

Stamped concrete patios are another surface project that add value to your home, which is nice to have when it comes time for a reappraisal, or for when you want to test the real estate market. Colored and stamped concrete patios are tilted and molded to resemble the aesthetics of brick and stone, at a fraction of the cost. Unlike asphalt, concrete patios deflect light instead of absorbing it, which keeps your outdoor gatherings nice and cool during a party or summer soiree. Concrete patios are also easier to clean and maintain without sacrificing strength and durability.
