The timeline for driveway installation varies depending on the project’s size, material, and complexity. A standard residential concrete driveway typically takes 3-5 days from start to finish, including preparation, pouring, and curing time. Asphalt driveways may take 1-2 days, while more complex designs with decorative elements can take longer. We’ll provide you with a specific timeline during our initial consultation.

We typically recommend concrete or asphalt driveways for maximum durability in North Carolina’s climate. Concrete offers exceptional longevity (20-30 years) and minimal maintenance, though it has a higher upfront cost. Asphalt provides good value with a lifespan of 15-20 years and proper maintenance. Brick pavers and natural stone are excellent options, combining durability with aesthetic appeal. The best choice depends on your needs, budget, and property characteristics.

Proper maintenance varies by driveway material. We recommend sealing concrete driveways every 2-3 years, promptly cleaning oil or chemical spills, and avoiding de-icing chemicals in winter. Asphalt driveways should be sealed every 2-5 years and regularly inspected for cracks. For all driveways, ensure proper drainage, remove debris regularly, and avoid placing excessive weight on the surface. Upon completing your project, we provide a detailed maintenance guide for your driveway material.
