Aylmer’s Concrete Contractors
Why Choose London Concrete Forming for Your Concrete Driveway?
Concrete driveways play a crucial role in enhancing the curb appeal of any home. For a lasting and impressive look, it is essential that they are durable and resilient. Concrete is the preferred material for driveways due to its exceptional longevity compared to asphalt or paving stones. Builders globally prefer concrete for its unmatched strength and versatile appearance.
Unmatched Strength and Durability
At London Concrete Forming, we pride ourselves on being a top concrete contractor in Aylmer. Our concrete driveways are designed to meet the highest standards of construction, ensuring longevity and durability. We pour our concrete driveways on a well-compacted gravel base with a minimum 98% proctor density. Standard driveways are 100mm thick, reinforced with ½ inch rebar spaced 18 inches apart, suitable for everyday vehicles. For driveways used by heavier vehicles, we offer increased slab thickness of 6 or 8 inches with ⅝ inch rebar, providing superior strength.
High-Quality Construction Practices
Our construction practices ensure the highest quality, including:
- Compacted Gravel Base: Guarantees a stable and lasting foundation.
- Reinforced Concrete: Uses robust rebar for enhanced durability.
- Customized Specifications: Options for thicker slabs and more robust rebar for high-demand areas.
We partner with DBRMX to source premium concrete materials for our projects.
Types of Concrete Driveways
Broom Finish Concrete Driveway
Broom finish driveways are the most popular choice due to their simple yet effective design. They can be customized with color and require minimal maintenance compared to more decorative options.
Float Finish Concrete Driveway
Float finish driveways offer a step up from broom finish with hand cuts or saw cuts and the addition of color or acid stains. Acrylic sealers are recommended for these finishes, especially on steeper grades.
Architectural Sandblast Concrete Driveway
This decorative option includes hand cuts or saw cuts, with the possibility of adding color and acid stains. Acrylic sealers improve the finish, making it suitable for areas with steep grades.
Exposed Aggregate Concrete Driveways
Exposed aggregate driveways are popular for their unique look, achieved by washing or sandblasting the surface to reveal the aggregate. They are often paired with stamped concrete borders for added visual interest.
Stamped Driveways
Stamped driveways mimic the look of slate, stone, or brick using rubber mats to imprint patterns into the concrete. These driveways are typically colored before stamping and sealed with high gloss sealers for vibrant, eye-catching finishes. They are not recommended for steep grades due to potential slipperiness.
Concrete Driveways with Borders
Adding borders to your driveway can create a striking visual effect. Borders are poured separately, allowing for endless customization with different finishes and colors between the borders and main driveway areas.
