Concrete is a strong, durable material that is often used for building things like sidewalks, walls, and even driveways. In this article, we’ll explore some of the benefits of using concrete specifically for a driveway, and we’ll do it in a way that a 10-year-old can easily understand!
First of all, what is concrete? Concrete is made up of a few different things: cement, water, and some other materials like sand and gravel. When these materials are mixed together, they create a strong, hard substance that can be shaped into different forms, like a driveway.

Mike was responsive and easy to work with, even though we had to make some changes he worked with us to get it done the right way and in a timely manner!

I needed a slab for my above ground pool. My contractor flaked out on me last minute. Michael(Mike)was able to take the job on short notice.
Mike is very knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely hire him again for future work.

I am a property manager on an extensive property on Lake Hamilton. I was so happy after using A&P to pour a slab for a metal building that I knew they were the right team to demolish, redesign and replace an enormous asphalt driveway with concrete. The project was so big it took over a month to demo the asphalt , haul away, and pour the new concrete. The communication was beyond exceptional and they did a wonderful job pouring and finishing the driveway. In all my years, I have never had better communication every step of the way. I will truly miss seeing Mike, David, Richard, and others as I did almost daily for a month. They treated me like family and I trust them greatly! We have annual sea wall repairs next and I look forward to meeting with the guys soon and starting our next project. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! .

Price was fair. Mike kept open communication throughout. Price did not change even with a 2hour delay in getting the concrete. Job looks great and the clean up was very good. Outstanding company. Highly recommend. David Williams

We hired A&P concrete to clean and seal our exposed aggregate pool decking. Mike was very informative and upfront about our options and the results we could expect when he performed the estimate. The job was done in a timely and professional manner and looks 100% better. They were able to remove all the black stain on the concrete and with the sealant the rocks sparkle in the sun! Pricing was extremely competitive for a job well done. Highly recommend Mike and his crew at A&P!
So, why should you choose concrete for your driveway? Here are some of the benefits:
- Durability: Concrete is a very strong material that can withstand a lot of wear and tear. This is important for a driveway, which is something that gets driven on all the time. Concrete can hold up to heavy vehicles and won’t crack or break easily.
- Low maintenance: Once a concrete driveway is installed, it requires very little maintenance. Unlike other materials, like asphalt, concrete doesn’t need to be sealed every year. All you really need to do is keep it clean and free of debris.
- Long lifespan: Because concrete is so durable, it can last a long time. In fact, a properly installed concrete driveway can last up to 30 years or more! This means that you won’t have to worry about replacing your driveway anytime soon.
- Customizable: Concrete can be colored and stamped to look like other materials, like brick or stone. This means that you can create a unique look for your driveway that matches the style of your home.
- Environmentally friendly: Concrete is made from natural materials, and it can be recycled when it’s no longer needed. This makes it a great choice for people who are concerned about the environment.
Overall, there are many benefits to using concrete for a driveway. It’s strong, durable, low-maintenance, long-lasting, customizable, and environmentally friendly. If you’re looking for a material that will last for years and require little upkeep, then concrete might be the right choice for you!
