Concrete Applications
Poured concrete can meet many functional needs around your home, business or neighborhood. We can lay poured concrete for any of the following applications.
Curbs
Poured concrete curbs create definition between a road and the surrounding yard. A sturdy curb helps keep drivers from going off of the road and onto your lawn.
Curbs are also useful and attractive additions to landscaping, where they serve to demarcate various areas of the yard design. A concrete curb also helps contain mulch or other landscaping fill. Unlike plastic edging, concrete curbing will not pop out of place or fall into disrepair after a few short years of use.
Driveways
Poured concrete is a classic material for driveways. Its surface is smooth and even, and it can take the rigors of repeatedly backing out, pulling in, and parking on it.
Unlike a loose gravel driveway, a concrete driveway is firm and solid, and it doesn’t need to be replaced every few years. Instead, a concrete driveway may last for 25 years or more, and it just needs to be cleaned and sealed every now and then.
Aprons
The apron is the stretch of material that connects the road to the driveway. It is often 8 feet or more in length, and it serves as a transition area as drivers pull into or out of the driveway.
A driveway apron can be the same material as the main driveway or a different material. In other words, you can use a poured concrete apron to match your concrete driveway, or your concrete apron can lead up to a driveway of asphalt, paving bricks or cobblestones.
Sidewalks
Poured concrete sidewalks can run along the edge or your property, or they can wind through the middle of your yard. Although straight-line sidewalks are popular, curved patterns can add interest to a landscaping design. Walking paths can lead to doors, decks or garages. On the grounds of large properties, sidewalks can connect one building to another.
When expertly installed, a well-laid sidewalk can last 20 years or more.
Patios
Whether it’s around the pool or out the back door, a concrete patio provides a place to relax in the great outdoors and gather with friends. A poured concrete patio is smooth and durable, and it can be shaped to match the curves of your landscaping or set in a perfect rectangle. You can count on this as a spot to hang out for year after year.
Professional installation makes the difference between poured concrete that doesn’t hold up and poured concrete that lasts and lasts. Our commitment to excellence ensures that every concrete project we complete is done with the kind of care and expertise that yields a long-lasting product.
At ARC Pools & Construction we pour concrete from the beginning of April to the end of November (Weather permitting)
