Concrete Driveways
Professional driveway installation that adds value and curb appeal to your property.
Why Choose Concrete for Your Driveway
Your driveway is one of the first things people notice about your property. A well-built concrete driveway doesn't just look good, it lasts for decades with minimal maintenance. Unlike asphalt that needs regular sealing and patching, concrete holds up to our North Carolina weather, heavy vehicles, and daily use without breaking down.
We've installed hundreds of concrete driveways across Cary and the surrounding areas. Our team knows exactly how to prepare the base, pour the concrete, and finish the surface so you get a driveway that stays level, drains properly, and looks great year after year. When you work with WFC Cary Concrete, you're getting more than just a driveway. You're getting expertise that comes from years of hands-on experience.
Concrete driveways also add real value to your home. Buyers appreciate a solid concrete surface that won't need replacement anytime soon. It's an investment that pays off in both appearance and long-term savings on repairs and maintenance.
Our Driveway Installation Process
Here's how we make sure your new driveway is built to last. First, we excavate and grade the area to ensure proper drainage. Water that pools on your driveway can cause problems over time, so we slope everything correctly from the start. Then we install a compacted gravel base that provides stable support for the concrete.
The base is where many contractors cut corners, but we don't. We use the right thickness of quality gravel and compact it thoroughly. This step matters more than most people realize. A solid base prevents settling, cracking, and those annoying dips that collect water.
What Makes Our Process Different
- Proper site preparation with laser grading for perfect drainage
- Quality concrete mix designed for our local climate
- Steel reinforcement to prevent cracking
- Control joints strategically placed to manage natural concrete movement
- Professional finishing techniques for a smooth, attractive surface
- Proper curing time to maximize strength and durability
Once the concrete is poured, we use professional finishing tools to create a surface that's both functional and attractive. We can add a broom finish for traction, or if you want something more decorative, we offer stamped and decorative options that give you the look of pavers or stone at a fraction of the cost.
Choosing the Right Driveway Design
Not every driveway needs to be the same. We work with you to design a layout that fits your property, your vehicles, and your budget. If you have multiple cars, we can widen the driveway or add a turnaround area. Need space for an RV or boat? We'll make sure the concrete is thick enough and properly reinforced to handle the extra weight.
Color and texture options let you customize the look. Standard gray concrete is clean and classic, but you can also choose from colored concrete or decorative finishes that complement your home's style. We'll show you samples and explain what works best for different looks and budgets.
The size and layout of your driveway affect the final cost, but investing in the right design now saves money later. A driveway that's too narrow or doesn't provide enough turning space can be frustrating to use every day. We help you think through the practical details so you end up with a driveway that works perfectly for your needs.
If you're also considering other concrete work around your property, like a patio or walkway, we can coordinate the design so everything looks cohesive. Matching concrete work throughout your property creates a polished, finished appearance.
