There are plenty of benefits to pouring a concrete driveway at your home. A concrete driveway is a practical investment that adds incredible value to your property. Here in Fort Saskatchewan, we all know the winter weather. Having a flat, even surface for your driveway will make your snow and ice removal much more manageable during winter. Having a properly poured driveway is about so much more than the convenience of having a nice place to pull in your vehicle. A good driveway with the proper slope and grade will cause water to flow away from your home and vehicles. An excellent concrete driveway will contribute to protecting some of your most significant assets.

Concrete is the way to go if you are debating between concrete and asphalt for your driveway. Concrete holds many advantages over asphalt.

When you hire The Fort Concrete to do your concrete driveway, we will utilize our experience and expertise to bring you an immovable, solid driveway that will last for years.

Here at The Fort Concrete, we know how to properly pour a driveway for our climate here in central Alberta. The installation process begins before the concrete is poured. Preparing the proper subgrade for your driveway is imperative, as that is what will support the cured concrete and traffic over time. Given the intense freeze-thaw cycle here in Alberta, we will ensure your subgrade is built to withstand this cycle to prevent heaving and shifting. The first step is to evaluate your property's soil to ensure we achieve the proper compaction and drainage needed for your concrete driveway.

We have all the proper tools and equipment to level and compact the soil on your property to create a uniform base on which to build the concrete forms. We will bring in extra gravel or road crush if necessary to achieve stability and drainage. Once we have completed the subgrade, it is then at this point we pour the concrete, perfectly mixed to withstand Alberta winters, and finish it, making sure it is solid and durable to last many years!

Maybe your driveway still has some life left in it but needs some attention and repairs. We can offer you some resurfacing options that can lengthen the life of your concrete driveway. The Fort Concrete's contractors are qualified to fix any crumbling subgrade, level uneven concrete, fix recessed areas, and fill cracks. We can even completely replace certain sections of your concrete driveway. If you are curious about what we can do for you, please get in touch with us, and we would love to discuss how we can complete your concrete driveway within your budget.

When it comes to how you choose to finish your driveway, there are different things to consider. First, you want your concrete driveway to meet the style and calibre of your home, all while being low maintenance. Selecting the right finish will allow you to add any stylistic element to your concrete driveway and, at the same time, add the protection it needs. Here in central Alberta, you will need a finish resistant to the ice and snow and provide proper drainage directing water away from your home, vehicles, and equipment. The Fort Concrete can offer many different finishes, several of which provide excellent traction while walking and driving. You can go with a broom finish for a more classic, clean look. If you want something to add an element of style, you can go with exposed aggregate or stamped concrete to add that touch of elegance. See below for some examples of our finishes.
