Concrete Driveways

Why Your Driveway Matters

Your driveway is one of the first things people notice about your home. It's also one of the most heavily used surfaces on your property. Every day, it supports vehicle weight, resists weather damage, and takes a beating from regular use. That's why you need a concrete driveway built to last, not just look good for a year or two.

Here at Winder Concrete Professional, we've been installing driveways throughout Winder, GA for years. We know what works and what doesn't. A properly installed concrete driveway can last 30 to 40 years with minimal maintenance. The secret is doing the groundwork right from the start.

How We Build Driveways That Last

Let's walk you through our process. We don't cut corners because we know that shortcuts lead to problems down the road. Here's what goes into every driveway we install:

• Site evaluation to check soil conditions and drainage patterns
• Proper excavation to the correct depth for your soil type
• Installation of 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel base
• Steel reinforcement with rebar or wire mesh
• Quality concrete mixed to the right specifications
• Professional finishing for the look you want
• Control joints placed strategically to manage cracking
• Proper curing to ensure maximum strength

Each of these steps matters. Skip one, and you risk problems like cracking, settling, or premature failure. We handle everything so you don't have to worry about whether it's done right.

Design Options for Your Home

Concrete driveways don't have to be boring. You have choices when it comes to appearance. We offer smooth trowel finishes, exposed aggregate for texture and slip resistance, and stamped patterns that mimic brick or stone. You can add color, borders, or decorative scoring to create a look that fits your home's style.

Layout matters too. We help you design a driveway that works with how you actually use your property. Need room for multiple vehicles? Want a turnaround area? Prefer a curved approach? We create functional designs that make your daily life easier. If you're also thinking about a concrete patio, we can design them to complement each other perfectly.

Repair or Replace: What Makes Sense?

If you already have a concrete driveway with problems, you're probably wondering whether to repair it or start over. The answer depends on what's wrong. Minor cracks and surface damage can often be repaired cost-effectively. But if you have extensive cracking, major settling, or the concrete is breaking apart, replacement usually makes more sense in the long run.

When we replace an old driveway, we remove everything and haul it away. This gives us a chance to fix any drainage or base problems that caused the original failure. You end up with a brand new driveway built on a solid foundation. For other concrete work around your home, check out our sidewalks and walkways services.
