Concrete Driveways
Professional driveway installation and replacement services built to last for decades in Harlingen, TX.
Your driveway is more than just a place to park your car. It is the first thing visitors see when they arrive at your home, and it takes a beating from vehicles, weather, and daily use. At NewSummit Harlingen Concrete, we specialize in building concrete driveways that combine durability, functionality, and curb appeal.
A properly installed concrete driveway can last 30 years or more with minimal maintenance. But here is what most homeowners do not know: the quality of your driveway depends almost entirely on what happens before the concrete is poured. That is why we focus on proper site preparation, base materials, and precise grading to prevent common problems like cracking, sinking, and drainage issues.
Why Choose Concrete for Your Driveway?
Concrete driveways are the most popular choice for homeowners in Harlingen and throughout Texas for good reason. They offer advantages that other materials simply cannot match.
- •Long Lifespan: A well-built concrete driveway can last 30 to 40 years, far longer than asphalt or gravel options.
- •Low Maintenance: Unlike asphalt that needs resealing every few years, concrete requires minimal upkeep.
- •Heat Resistance: Concrete stays cooler than asphalt in the Texas heat and will not soften or become sticky.
- •Increased Home Value: A new concrete driveway improves your property value and makes your home more attractive to buyers.
- •Design Options: You can choose from standard finishes, exposed aggregate, or stamped patterns to match your home's style.
Our Driveway Installation Process
We follow a proven process that ensures your driveway will perform well for decades. Here is what you can expect when you hire us:
1. Site Assessment and Planning
We start by evaluating your property to understand soil conditions, drainage patterns, and any existing issues. We will discuss your needs, budget, and design preferences to create a plan that works for you.
2. Excavation and Base Preparation
We excavate the area to the proper depth and grade it for drainage. Then we install a compacted gravel base that provides stability and prevents settling. This step is critical and cannot be skipped or rushed.
3. Forms and Reinforcement
We set up sturdy forms to define your driveway's shape and edges. We also install steel reinforcement (rebar or wire mesh) to add strength and control cracking.
4. Concrete Pour and Finishing
We pour high-quality concrete mix and use professional tools to level, smooth, and finish the surface. We can create different textures or patterns based on your preferences.
5. Curing and Sealing
Proper curing is essential for concrete strength. We protect your new driveway and allow it to cure for the recommended time before use. We can also apply a sealer to protect against stains and weather damage.
