Is an asphalt or concrete driveway better?

• <div><p>Asphalt can get sticky in high temperatures and intense sunlight and is better for cooler or moderate climates, while concrete is more likely to crack in colder climates where water can seep into the slab and freeze. Asphalt requires more maintenance in terms of sealing, it has a slightly shorter lifespan, on average, and it’s a bit more expensive to install. Concrete will last longer with less maintenance, and it offers you more options for customization, including staining and stamped patterns. As such, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-concrete-driveway-increase-home-value.htm">concrete driveway adds to home value</a> more than an asphalt driveway in many cases. </p></div>

Q: Is fiber concrete good for a driveway?

• <div><p>Fiber concrete can be a good option for a residential driveway that will hold up standard passenger cars. The fibers provide increased flexion over a rebar-reinforced concrete driveway, so you&rsquo;re less likely to see surface cracks. For driveways that need to hold commercial vehicles or multiple vehicles, rebar reinforcement is a better option. Ask a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/concrete-driveways/">concrete driveway company near you</a> which is the best option for your situation.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to grind concrete wet or dry?

• <div><p>For homeowners, it&rsquo;s better to dry grind concrete. Dry grinding is the method described above and can be done by experienced DIYers for smaller projects. Wet grinding requires a big volume of water, a way to collect the slurry created by the water and dust, and an environmentally-safe place to dispose of the slurry. In general, only professionals do wet grinding. </p></div>

Q: How much does concrete cost per yard?

• <div><p>The average cost of concrete by cubic yard is about $130 , falling in a range of $110 to $150 . If you&rsquo;re looking to pour concrete over a smaller area, you may be able to pay per cubic foot of concrete, which would make the overall cost less expensive. It&rsquo;s also possible to pay for a truckload of concrete, if your project calls for it.</p></div>

Q: Should I repair my concrete driveway or have a new concrete driveway installed?

• <div><p>Cost and age are two factors to consider when determining if you should repair or replace your concrete driveway. If your existing driveway is on the older side and the cost of repairs is 50% or more of its value, it might be worth replacing it. Replacing a concrete driveway when it's 20 years old and deteriorating in condition will save you from the cost of repairs that likely wouldn&rsquo;t save it from replacement in a few years anyway. </p></div>

This job was not just laying a slab, it was a large amount of concrete that was 4 foot high and 4 foot wide. The weight of the concrete was a concern. Retaining walls had to be very strong and supported more than normal. It head with no issues. I would recommend this Company for any concrete...

Jason listens! He tried very hard to do exactly as we requested. He removed the swimming pool, totally removed all the concrete and debris associated with the removal, then filled and cleaned up the entire area. We are highly satisfied.

This is the second time that we have hired Mark to install a mailbox for us. (We live in a rural area, where mailboxes get destroyed by vandals). He dug up the old mailbox post (which was not easy, as it was cemented into the ground). I purchased the mailbox and post. He un-boxed and assembled...
