Best Concrete Driveways in Beaumont, TX
Driveway Installation Steps
Initial lay
Before we begin the pouring process, we make sure to prep the underground layer of the driveway with small pebbles and stones. This prevents moisture and debris from getting into the cement and provides a sturdy layer for the cement to lay on.
Mix
Next we’ll determine what the proper concrete mix ratio is. Concrete consists of water, sand, rock, and concrete mix all of which yield a different thickness based on how you mix them. You typically want a thicker mix for outdoor concrete slabs because they’re constantly exposed to weathering and erosion.
Seals
A proper concrete sealant or coating is essential to prevent accidental cracks, corrosion, and staining. These applications create an impermeable barrier so that water and salts cannot get into the concrete pores.
Steel
Reinforcing your concrete driveway with steel pegs is a smart way to ensure the longevity and strength of your foundation. We recommend using reinforced steel if you have multiple cars or many people who regularly use or walk on your driveway.

Concrete Driveway Repair
Without the proper methods described above, driveways are more susceptible to cracking and abrasion due to weathering. A lot of times this is due to water seepage that gets into the pores of the concrete. During the winter time when this water freezes, it contracts and pulls the concrete tight, making it more fragile.
In the warmer months, the water expands and opens up new room for debris and more water to seep in. This process continues until the cracks widen and get longer, ruining the foundation.
If you’re thinking about getting a new driveway, just be sure that you talk to a pro who can help mitigate any of these problems.
