A properly installed concrete driveway isn’t just a place to park — it’s a long-term investment in your property.

Key benefits include:

• Exceptional durability that stands up to Tennessee’s heat, rain, and vehicle weight

• Minimal maintenance compared to asphalt

• Clean, modern look that boosts curb appeal

• Adds measurable value to your home

• Custom options such as broom finishes, borders, and color tinting

Concrete is built to last decades while staying strong and beautiful with minimal upkeep.

Concrete vs. Asphalt Driveways

Homeowners often compare concrete and asphalt when planning a new driveway. While asphalt may cost a little less upfront, concrete delivers a much longer lifespan, a cleaner appearance, and lower long-term maintenance.

Concrete typically lasts 30 to 40 years, while asphalt often needs replacement within 15 to 20 years. Concrete reflects sunlight, stays cooler, and can be finished in many colors and textures. Asphalt, on the other hand, must be sealed regularly and softens in the heat.

In the Knoxville area, a quality concrete driveway costs around $9 to $12 per square foot, while asphalt usually runs between $5 and $8 — but the investment in concrete pays off for decades.

Driveway Extensions — Add Space and Convenience

If you need more parking space for guests, a boat, or an extra vehicle, a concrete driveway extension is an excellent solution. It’s affordable, long-lasting, and adds both functionality and style to your property.

Benefits of a driveway extension:

• Adds practical parking without damaging grass or landscape

• Creates a wider, cleaner approach to your garage or side yard

• Improves curb appeal with a finished, uniform surface

• Increases property value with added usability
