EXCEPTIONAL CONCRETE DRIVEWAYS
Concrete driveways are not just functional components of a property; they add aesthetic value and durability to your home or business. At Lehi Concrete, we specialize in creating top-notch concrete driveways tailored to both residential and commercial needs. Let's take a closer look at the types of concrete driveways we offer and our meticulous installation process.
Types of Concrete Driveways
Commercial Grade Driveways
Our commercial-grade driveways are designed to handle heavy traffic and substantial loads, making them ideal for business premises, parking lots, and industrial areas. They are engineered with additional reinforcement to ensure they stand up to the rigors of daily use, providing a durable and reliable surface that requires minimal maintenance.
Residential Driveways
Our residential driveways focus on blending aesthetic appeal with practical functionality. Whether you're looking to enhance your home's curb appeal or need a sturdy surface for your vehicles, our residential driveways are crafted to meet your specific needs. These driveways can be customized with various finishes and textures to complement your home's architectural style.
Our comprehensive installation process ensures that every driveway we construct is built to last. Here’s a step-by-step overview of how we install our concrete driveways:
1. Site Preparation
The first step in our installation process is thorough site preparation. Our team assesses the area to ensure it is suitable for the construction of a driveway. This involves clearing away any debris, marking the layout, and leveling the ground. Proper site preparation is crucial for creating a stable foundation that will support the concrete and prevent future issues such as cracking or settling.
2. Formwork
Next, we install formwork to define the shape and dimensions of the driveway. Formwork consists of wooden or metal frames that hold the concrete in place as it sets. This step is essential for achieving the desired design and ensuring that the concrete is contained within the designated area.

3. Reinforcement
To enhance the strength and durability of the driveway, we incorporate steel reinforcement. This can include wire mesh or rebar, which is placed within the formwork before the concrete is poured. Reinforcement helps to distribute the load and reduce the risk of cracking, ensuring a long-lasting surface.
4. Concrete Pouring
We use high-quality concrete, which is carefully poured into the prepared formwork. Our team ensures even distribution and works meticulously to avoid air pockets or uneven surfaces. The concrete is then leveled and smoothed to achieve a flawless finish.
5. Finishing
Once the concrete is in place, we use specialized tools to level and smooth the surface. Depending on the design, we can add textures or patterns to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the driveway. This step allows us to create custom finishes that reflect your personal style or complement the surrounding architecture.
6. Curing
Proper curing is essential for the concrete to achieve its full strength. We monitor the curing process carefully, which can take several days. This stage ensures that the driveway sets correctly, preventing issues such as cracking or weakening over time.
7. Sealing and Protection
After the concrete has fully cured, we apply a high-quality sealant to protect the surface from stains, weathering, and wear. Sealing extends the lifespan of the driveway and maintains its appearance by preventing damage from moisture and chemicals.
8. Final Inspection
Before concluding the installation, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure the driveway meets our high standards of quality, durability, and appearance. Our attention to detail ensures that every project we complete is nothing short of exceptional.
