How long does it take concrete to cure?

How long will an concrete driveway last?

In San Jose, a concrete driveway can typically last between 25 to 30 years. However, the actual lifespan can vary based on several factors such as the quality of the installation, the consistency of maintenance, and local weather conditions. Proper installation is crucial and should include adequate subbase preparation, proper thickness, and reinforcement with rebar or wire mesh to withstand the loads and prevent cracking.

How often should I have my driveway seal coated?

Driveway sealcoating should be done every three years to maximize the life span of your driveway.

How thick should an concrete parking lot be?

For concrete driveways in San Jose, where the traffic includes heavier loads, a minimum of 6 inches of concrete thickness is recommended. This enhanced thickness is essential for enduring the demanding use seen in commercial or industrial environments. Alongside appropriate thickness, it's crucial to incorporate steel rebar or wire mesh reinforcement and ensure a well-prepared subbase for increased strength and longevity. Effective drainage planning is also vital to prevent water buildup and protect the integrity of the drivewa

Is concrete or asphalt better?

The ongoing debate between choosing asphalt and concrete for driveway materials is likely to continue indefinitely, as both options have distinct advantages and disadvantages. Asphalt driveways are generally more cost-effective to install than concrete driveways. However, concrete driveways offer greater durability, longer lifespan, and can support heavier loads compared to asphalt.
