Slabtown Driveways | Portland, Or

Your driveway is one of the first things a visitor sees when they pull up to park in front your home. Is yours cracked, crumbling and oil-stained? 

This winter has been hard on roads and sidewalks in the metro area. It hasn't been easy on your driveway either.
A cracked driveway slab can be a tripping hazard.

As the snow melts, you may be seeing new and enlarged cracks in your parking area, sidewalk or concrete patio. As the water on the surface of your slab (the builder's term for your concrete driveway, sidewalk or patio,)  and in the soil underneath freezes, it expands- forcing what were hairline cracks into large fissures. 
If your driveway is in bad shape, it may be time for a new slab.

If the thaw has uncovered unwelcome cracks in your driveway or sidewalk, there's no need to wait. Even in colder weather a newly poured slab (the builder's term for your concrete driveway, sidewalk or patio,) can be ready for foot traffic or parking on within a few days.
Same driveway, new slab.
