How long does a new concrete driveway last?

A professionally installed concrete driveway in Boise should last 25 to 30 years or even longer. The lifespan depends heavily on the quality of the sub-base preparation, proper drainage, the concrete mix used, and regular maintenance like sealing.

Can I just pour new concrete over my old cracked driveway?

This is called an overlay, and it's generally not recommended. The cracks from the old driveway will almost always transfer up through the new layer, a process called 'reflective cracking.' It also raises the height of your driveway, which can create problems with garage floors and sidewalks.

How long do concrete driveway repairs last?

The longevity of a repair depends on the type of repair and the underlying issue. A properly sealed crack can last for several years. However, a patch on a slab that is actively sinking or moving due to base failure is only a temporary cosmetic fix and likely won't last more than a year or two.

What’s the best time of year to replace my driveway in Boise?

The ideal times for pouring new concrete in Idaho are late spring and early fall. Concrete needs moderate temperatures (between 50°F and 80°F) to cure properly. The extreme heat of summer can cause it to dry too quickly, while the freezing temperatures of winter can ruin it before it gains strength.

Does my sinking driveway slab have to be replaced?

Not always. If the concrete slab itself is still in good condition but has sunk, a process called slab jacking or mudjacking might be an option. This involves drilling holes and pumping a slurry underneath to lift the slab back into place. It can be a cost-effective alternative to replacement, but it depends on the specific situation.
