Caring for your new concrete driveway, walkway, patio, or basement floor, is something we strongly recommended. Routine maintenance helps you ensure appearance, durability, and longevity remains unaffected. Common maintenance practices for these types of surfaces include occasional cleaning with a hose, broom, or pressure washer to remove dirt and debris. It’s also essential to remove stains quickly, seal the surface every 2-3 years to protect it from moisture, stains, and UV rays, and avoid using harsh chemicals that can cause discoloration and damage. Fill cracks and gaps promptly to prevent damage and erosion, use plastic shovels instead of metal ones to clear snow, and avoid putting extra heavy loads or equipment on concrete surfaces.
