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.
