Concrete Driveways
Get a durable, beautiful driveway that handles daily use and California weather.
Why Choose Concrete for Your Driveway
Your driveway is one of the first things people notice about your home. It needs to look good while handling cars, weather, and everyday wear. At FirmBase Westminster Concrete, we build driveways that do both.
Concrete driveways are the smart choice for Westminster homeowners. They last longer than asphalt, need less maintenance, and can handle our hot summers without softening or cracking. A properly installed concrete driveway can last 30 years or more with minimal care.
Here is what makes concrete the right material for your driveway: it stays solid in high temperatures, resists oil stains better than other materials, handles heavy vehicles without damage, and increases your property value. Plus, you have options for color and texture to match your home's style.
Our Driveway Installation Process
We do not cut corners when building your driveway. Proper installation makes the difference between a driveway that lasts decades and one that cracks within a few years. Here is how we make sure your driveway is built right from day one.
Site Preparation and Base Work
We start by excavating the area to the proper depth and grading it for drainage. Poor drainage is the number one cause of driveway problems, so we pay close attention to slope and water flow. Then we compact the soil and add a strong gravel base. This foundation prevents settling and cracking over time.
Forms, Reinforcement, and Pouring
Next, we set up forms to shape your driveway and install steel reinforcement or fiber mesh for added strength. We use commercial-grade concrete mixed to the right specifications for driveways. Our crew carefully pours and levels the concrete, working quickly to ensure a smooth, uniform finish before it sets.
Finishing and Curing
The finishing process is where skill really matters. We smooth and texture the surface, cut control joints to prevent random cracking, and apply a curing compound. Proper curing is essential for strength and durability. Here is what makes our finishing different:
- We use professional-grade trowels and floats for a perfectly smooth finish
- Control joints are strategically placed to control where cracks form
- We apply curing agents to lock in moisture for maximum strength
- Your driveway is protected during the critical curing period
- We provide clear instructions on when you can start using your new driveway
Design Options for Your Driveway
Your driveway does not have to be plain gray concrete. We offer several options to give your driveway a custom look that complements your home and landscaping.
Stamped concrete can mimic the look of brick, stone, or pavers at a fraction of the cost. Color options let you match or contrast with your home's exterior. Exposed aggregate finishes add texture and visual interest while providing excellent traction.
We can also add decorative borders, create patterns with different finishes, or combine concrete with pavers for a unique look. During your consultation, we will show you samples and photos of completed driveways to help you choose the perfect style for your home.
