J and J Enterprises, a Las Vegas concrete provider, often deals with clients facing this dilemma. A common situation goes like this: a pipe breaks and the driveway is left in cracks or other visible damage. The family living in the house looks around and realize that there are options on the market that maybe they could take advantage of. Here are a few aspects to consider.
Most driveways in the Southwest are paved with concrete not with asphalt. Frost heaving is not a major issue here, however the heat is. Asphalt can become flexible under direct intense sunlight in hot climates and can “sink” under the weight of heavy vehicles. Concrete doesn’t have these issues and also reflects some of the heat. It is durable and not as susceptible to damage by such substances as motor oil and cleaners.
For those looking for a more custom look, a viable solution may be concrete pavers. As your Las Vegas concrete provider, we can also help you with that. They are somewhat more expensive than just poured concrete, but they are more aesthetically pleasing and can instantly upgrade the look of your property.
Custom stamping and dying may be another option. Concrete dyes enhance the natural beauty of concrete by adding a wide selection of colors to an existing slab or overlay. They are intended to enhance rather than disguise the surface. They will not hide cracks, blemishes, or other flaws. Nor will they mask an underlying color. The concrete becomes a canvas for color and design. Essentially, concrete dyes are translucent, penetrating color solutions. Unlike acid-based stains, they do not react chemically with concrete. Instead, they contain very fine coloring agents that penetrate into the concrete surface. Dyeing is a versatile solution as it can be combined with other concrete solutions, enhancing these results.
