Driveways

Advantage Construction installs all types of driveways!

Your driveway will only look and perform as good as the care your contractor installs it with. Advantage Construction provides the quality workmanship you demand when installing your new driveway. We PROPERLY PREPARE and compact your subgrade, ensuring uniformity in both soil composition and compaction. We place preparation on the top of the list as the most important part of your driveway installation. With this support base we ensure your driveway maintains its proper pitch for drainage and reduces the risk of cracking from climate changes or denting from the weight of vehicles.

Many Colorado homes have expansive soil which is a fact that is ignored by other contractors. It is important to remove soft spots and fill with gravel and crushed rock to withstand driveway weight requirements. The type of material you use for your driveway is another concern. If using concrete, we make sure we use a proper mix ratio for your region which will ensure proper performance and longevity for your driveway. Then of course there is correctly placed joints and reinforcement concerns. We pay attention to these details all the way down to the multi-step process we use for proper finishing.

We research and seek out only the highest quality materials whether it be concrete, macadam or pavers/stone. You can trust Advantage Construction to do the job RIGHT. Driveways text

Driveway Options & Materials


Macadam/Asphalt Driveway

Asphalt is an economical option for driveway surface material. Price of asphalt driveways can fluctuate because it is an oil-based product. Being a petroleum product, asphalt driveways are flexible and are less susceptible to the fluctuating temperatures in Colorado. The downside to asphalt is the maintenance requirements and style limitations. In extremely hot climates, asphalt can become so soft that it is actually pliable. This is not a concern for Colorado residents.

  • Economical option
  • Flexible in extreme climate conditions
  • Long lifespan
  • Relatively low maintenance costs

 


Concrete Slab Driveway

Let's not pour over the pros and cons of a concrete driveway. It's a great choice! Concrete driveways have a life expectancy of about 30 years and even longer with proper care. Maintenance is easy with regular maintenance and periodic pressure washing. Chemicals can be used while pressure washing to remove oil and tire marks. Concrete driveways can be stained different colors and poured into eye-catching patterns. Concrete can also be stamped for an enhanced faux stone look! See the next section on stamped concrete driveways.

  • Over 30 year life expectancy
  • Easy maintenance
  • Can be stained and colored in a variety of ways
  • Lots of custom design options!

 


Stamped Concrete Driveway

It's proven that concrete last longer than any other driveway material. Cracks don't usually occur for a long time and potholes are nearly impossible to appear. A huge draw for concrete driveways is its ability to be stained in a variety of colors but most importantly, it can be stamped to appear like stone. Surface additives can even be pressed into the finished slab for a more unique and custom look. There are so many options and styles to choose from. Let one of our friendly, no-pressure design representatives help you find the perfect stamped concrete look for your driveway!

  • Long lasting & durable
  • Reduced long-term maintenance
  • Beautiful, attractive look
  • Increases resale value of property

 


Paver Driveway

Concrete may be the 'standard' option for driveways but nothing beats the classic beauty of a paver driveway. Pavers grab your attention and give your house that eye-catching curb appeal. We take the same care in preparing your driveway surface for pavers as we do for poured concrete and asphalt driveways. Sometimes even greater attention to detail is required. Take a look at some of the benefits of a paver driveway:

  • Durable and can handle the weight of vehicles without cracking
  • Beautiful - one of the paver option's strongest points
  • By properly sealing pavers, you can eliminate the possibility of stains
  • Easy to replace if a spot or portion becomes cracked or discolored
  • Variety of colors and patterns
