Concrete Driveways Pros and Cons

Making the decision to install a new driveway involves many factors which tend to get overlooked. Deciding when to install your new driveway, what company to use and even what type of driveway are all substantial decisions.

To help make your new home improvement decision simple, we provided all the necessary information needed to choose between a new asphalt or concrete driveway installation below. When considering all the aspects, it’s important to understand the facts.

For many residential and commercial owners, concrete is the paving material of choice. In addition to the pros listed above, there are many characteristics commonly preferred with concrete.

The smooth, durable finish concrete provides is one the most favorable features. Concrete is more versatile when it comes to the numerous activities which take place on a driveway. Concrete does not absorb the sun’s heat and is smooth all around the edges. So whether it’s playing basketball or cooking out, concrete driveways offer a safer family solution.

Simply stated, you get more for your money with a concrete driveway installation. A concrete driveway can cost anywhere from 40-60% more than an equivalent asphalt driveway yet will have a much longer lifespan. When cost is measured and compared over each lifespan, the two driveway types are unparalleled.

The Dornbrook Difference: Customer Testimonials

We were so pleased with our new driveway, sidewalk and the work that Dornbrook Construction did for us. Larry, the owner, has a great crew working for him. Matt and Rudy have everything and everyone running like teamwork. They came on time, were pleasant and very clean. We would recommend them for you.

I can’t say enough good things about this company. From my first inquiry and throughout the entire driveway replacement, they have been amazing. Great communication, walked me through everything, and patiently answered all my questions. Even when they unexpectedly uncovered an old cistern, they didn’t miss a beat & took care of that. Cost was below competitors, but they did quality work & didn’t cut corners. Crew showed up promptly every morning, and Larry was onsite to oversee the project. Stellar job!

- Carol

Dornbrook Construction did a great job with our cement patio! Their quote encompassed taking out bush stumps, old small cement patio, cement benches and posts from wood deck. They were quick and efficient in their work. It looks great!

- Christine

Larry and his team at Dornbrook Construction are awesome. Over the past 2 years, they have poured 2 large stamped concrete patios at our home. Both look incredible. Larry’s team is professional and friendly. Larry personally came out to see the area we had planned, gave us recommendations, and provided a professional quote. When the time came to begin the project, Larry continued to check in with us to make sure we knew exactly what the process was and make sure we were all still “on the same page” for the project. Larry continued to offer his recommendations with color and design that fit our home environment. We took their advice both times and we are more than happy we did because the patios look incredible. The Dornbrook construction team was also family friendly with my kids who watched the whole time. Watching Larry’s teamwork was incredible to see their skill and dedication to making each line perfect and seamless and that we were happy with the end result. What they are able to create with concrete is truly impressive. Our patios are perfect and we continue to get compliments about them. We will continue to use Dornbrook Construction for their expertise in the future and absolutely recommend their services to everyone. Thank you Larry and thank you Dornbrook Construction.

Driveway install went great, no stress. Additional things found were dealt with well. Since the install was clean there was very little debris to clean up, they did a great job keeping it tidy for a big and typically messy work. Will certainly work with them in the future.
