Professional Flatwork Contractor

Driveways are constructed in such a way that they can bear the weight of automobiles and as such, must contain expansion joints for preventing cracks. You will commonly find homes with cement driveways as they are created right at the time home's foundation is made. Generally, a frame is used for forming the concrete driveway. Based upon driveway's slope, a rebar underlay may not be required. The good thing about concrete driveways is that they are quite cost effective and you can also seal them using different colored stains for achieving the desired look.

Concrete is the favored option when a patio is constructed since it provides you several options in terms of sealing and finished coloring you can use. In addition, you can reinforce concrete patios with the help of aggregate or rebar. Aggregate is often utilized when a particular surface is in level with soil's surface and also to reduce the cost. On the other hand, rebar is utilized for raising concrete patios so that the patio maintains its form.

Sidewalks are an excellent example of concrete flatwork. Usually, sidewalks are made in sections having expansion joints between them. Generally, these are not created with the help of rebar reinforcements. Instead, they consist of a sub-base made up using aggregate rock. Finishing for sidewalks is flat and often provided a subtle finish to improve the grip when the sidewalk is wet.

Concrete steps prove to be quite sturdy and offer a smooth transition from an outdoor space like a patio to your house.
