Concrete Driveways

Your driveway is one of the hardest working parts of your property. It handles daily vehicle traffic, extreme weather, and constant exposure to the elements. When you choose concrete for your driveway, you are investing in a surface that can handle all of this without constant maintenance or frequent repairs.

Concrete driveways in Zebulon, NC typically last 30 to 40 years with basic care. That is significantly longer than asphalt, which needs resurfacing every 10 to 15 years. While the initial cost is higher than asphalt, the long-term value makes concrete the smarter choice for most homeowners.

Here at Precision Zebulon Concrete, we have installed hundreds of driveways throughout the area. We understand local soil conditions and how they affect your driveway foundation. Proper preparation is what separates a driveway that lasts from one that cracks within a few years.

Quality concrete work starts before we ever mix the first batch of concrete. We begin every driveway project with careful site evaluation and preparation. This step determines how well your driveway performs over its lifetime.

What We Do:

• •Excavation and Grading: We remove existing material and grade the base to ensure proper drainage away from your home and garage.
• •Base Preparation: We install a compacted gravel base that provides stability and prevents settling. This layer is critical for preventing cracks.
• •Reinforcement: We add steel reinforcing mesh or rebar to strengthen the concrete and control cracking.
• •Concrete Pour and Finish: We use high-quality concrete mix designed for driveway applications, poured to the correct thickness and finished to your specifications.
• •Proper Curing: We protect the concrete during the curing process and provide clear instructions on when you can use your new driveway.

Most residential driveways take 2 to 4 days to complete, depending on size and site conditions. Weather can affect the schedule, but we will keep you informed every step of the way.

Your driveway does not have to be plain gray concrete. We offer several options to match your home and personal style. Color can be added to the concrete mix or applied as a stain after installation. Stamped patterns can create the look of brick, stone, or tile at a fraction of the cost of those materials.

If you want a decorative finish, check out our stamped and decorative concrete services. We can create custom borders, add exposed aggregate texture, or combine multiple finishes for a unique look.

We also handle driveway extensions and turnarounds. If your current driveway is too small or lacks turning space, we can expand it to meet your needs. We will match the new concrete to your existing driveway as closely as possible.
