A driveway is the toughest slab you own

Everything that damages concrete happens on a driveway at once.

Full UV, all day

No cover, no shade, maximum exposure.

Hot tire pickup at its worst

Tires arrive off a scorching road and sit parked in the sun for hours.

Weight and turning loads

Wheels turning in place grind against the surface in a way nothing else does.

Freeze-thaw and slab movement

Clay soil underneath, weather on top.

Oil and fluid drips

Right where the car sits, every day.

We'll tell you if a coating is the wrong answer

Plenty of contractors will coat any driveway you'll pay them to coat. We won't — because on a driveway a film-forming coating is fighting UV, heat, and turning loads simultaneously, and on a slab in poor condition it's going to lose.

Sometimes the honest answer is stain and seal instead of coat. Sometimes it's repair and seal, with no color at all. Occasionally it's that your driveway needs concrete work before it needs a finish. We'd rather say that at the walkthrough than warranty something we know is going to fail.

What we do when it is a good candidate

Diamond grinding or shot blasting for profile. Crack and joint repair as line items. UV-stable materials sized to the exposure. Control and expansion joints honored rather than coated over, so the slab can move where it's designed to move.

Acid-stained concrete driveway in warm tan and amber tones — A stained driveway — the colour is in the slab, so UV can't fade it and hot tires have no film to lift.

Choosing your system

We usually recommend

Concrete Stain — The color is in the slab, not on it — so UV can't fade it and there's no film to peel or lift under hot tires. It handles the slab movement a driveway sees. Refresh the sealer periodically and the color stays.

Also consider

Flake Epoxy — With a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat, where you want a uniform finished look and the slab is in good shape. It's a bigger investment on a driveway and we'll be straight with you about that.

We won’t install

Metallic Epoxy — on a driveway. Direct sun destroys the clear coat that makes the effect work.

Common questions

My driveway is cracked. Is it worth doing?

Depends on the cracks. Hairline is normal and manageable. Structural cracking, heaving, or significant spalling should be addressed as concrete work first. We'll tell you which you have.

How long before I can park on it?

Typically 48 to 72 hours for vehicles, longer in cold weather. Exact times at walkoff.

Will it fade?

Stain won't — the color is mineral and UV-stable. The sealer over it is the wear layer and gets refreshed periodically, which is far cheaper than recoating.
