A new Concrete Driveway in Needham usually takes about 3 to 5 days to finish. This includes all the steps like excavation, forming, pouring the concrete, and the first part of the curing process. The actual Concrete Driveway pour typically happens on day two or day three. After the pour, we let the Concrete Driveway cure properly. You can drive on the new Concrete Driveway lightly after 7 days. However, the Concrete Driveway needs a full 28 days to get to its maximum strength before it can handle heavy use. Progressive Concrete Solutions plans our Concrete Driveway work around the Needham weather, especially making sure to avoid rain during the pour.

For Needham's tough freeze-thaw cycles, air-entrained Concrete is the right choice. Air-entrained Concrete resists cracking that comes from temperature changes and de-icing salts. This type of Concrete has many tiny air bubbles inside it. These air bubbles relieve pressure from freezing water, which stops surface damage to the Concrete. Progressive Concrete Solutions always uses a high-strength Concrete mix, usually 4000 PSI Concrete, to make sure it stands up to our Needham winters and heavy traffic. Proper Concrete sealing after the Concrete cures also adds another layer of protection for your Concrete.

To keep your Needham concrete from cracking, the most important steps are proper Concrete Sealing and regular cleaning. We recommend sealing your concrete every 2 to 3 years. This protects it from moisture penetration and also from the de-icing salts that are common here in Needham. You should avoid using metal shovels or harsh chemicals when you clear snow and ice from your concrete surfaces. It is important to address any small concrete cracks quickly with a quality sealant. This will prevent them from spreading and stop water from freezing inside the concrete. Progressive Concrete Solutions provides Concrete Sealing services for homes in Needham, MA.
