The Best Concrete Mix for Driveways
Why PSI Matters for Your Driveway
Your driveway needs to support thousands of pounds of vehicle weight while resisting weather cycles. For these reasons, we recommend a 4000 PSI (pounds per square inch) mix.
Air Entrainment
In colder climates, "air-entrained" concrete is essential. It contains billions of microscopic bubbles that allow moisture to expand when freezing without cracking the concrete surface.
Reinforcement Options
Don't rely on the concrete alone. Use rebar or wire mesh to provide tensile strength, preventing small cracks from becoming major structural issues.
