Readymix Concrete For Driveways

PRODUCTS FOR USE IN THIS APPLICATION

Opting for a concrete driveway is a wise investment for any homeowner due to their durability, low maintenance, and attractive appearance.

Not only does a concrete driveway enhance the curb appeal of your home, but it also stands the test of time, battling harsh weather conditions and heavy use with minimal wear and tear. At Concrete2You, we specialise in providing top-tier, ready-mix concrete designed specifically for robust and long-lasting driveways. 

Based on your application information we can recommend a ready-mixed concrete that, when correctly specified and placed, will resist freeze or thaw damage in winter and offer an excellent final finish, whilst meeting the relevant British and EU quality standards.

To enhance this mix we also suggest the addition of fibres, which provide a longer lasting concrete, minimise the need for crack control with wire mesh and provide improved resistance against impact and abrasion. Get in Touch with our professional team and we will help you select the best concrete mix for your next driveway project.

 

Benefits of a Concrete Driveway:

Durability & strength - Our ready-mix concrete is formulated to withstand heavy vehicles, foot traffic, and adverse weather conditions without cracking, ensuring it lasts for decades with little need for repair.

 

Low Maintenance - Unlike other types of driveways, concrete driveways require minimal maintenance. Simply cleaning it periodically with soap and water will keep it looking new for years.

 

Aesthetic Appeal - Concrete driveways can be customised with various finishes, colours, and patterns to suit your personal style and home's architecture. See our blog on imprinted concrete driveways.

 

Cost-Effective - a concrete driveway is an affordable option when compared to other materials like paving or asphalt.

 

Tips for installing and maintaining concrete driveways

  1. Choose the qualified contractor: The quality of your concrete driveway installation depends largely on the expertise of the contractor you choose. Be sure to select a reputable contractor with experience in driveway installation and maintenance.
  2. Prepare the site: Before pouring the concrete, the area must be prepared properly. The site must be graded, levelled, and free of debris to ensure proper drainage and avoid cracks in the future. You can use our concrete calculator tool as a guide to how much concrete you will need.
  3. Reinforce your driveway: To prevent cracks, your concrete driveway should be reinforced with steel mesh or if you add fibres to your concrete mix by choosing the Concrete2you Highpave solution, there is no need to use steel and it is reinforced already.
  4. Apply sealant: Applying a sealant to your concrete driveway can help protect it from damage caused by weather, chemicals, and UV rays. Sealants also help maintain the colour and appearance of the concrete.
  5. Maintenance: Regular cleaning of your concrete driveway will help maintain its appearance and prevent the build-up of debris, oil stains, and other contaminants.

If you notice any cracks or damage to your concrete driveway, it's important to have it repaired as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
