Concrete Driveways

Your Driveway Deserves the Best

Your driveway is one of the first things people notice about your property. A well-built concrete driveway not only improves your home's curb appeal but also provides a durable, long-lasting surface that can handle daily use for decades. At EverSet Morgan Hill Concrete, we specialize in building driveways that look great and stand the test of time.

We've been serving homeowners and businesses in Morgan Hill since 2024, and we understand what it takes to create a driveway that performs well in our local climate. From the initial site preparation to the final finish, we handle every step with precision and care.

Why Choose Concrete for Your Driveway

Concrete driveways offer advantages that other materials simply can't match. Here's why so many property owners in Morgan Hill choose concrete:

• Durability that lasts: A properly installed concrete driveway can last 30 years or more with minimal maintenance. Unlike asphalt, concrete won't soften in hot weather or develop ruts from heavy vehicles.
• Low maintenance requirements: Concrete driveways don't need regular resealing like asphalt. An occasional pressure washing and simple crack repair keep your driveway looking good for years.
• Better load capacity: Concrete handles heavy vehicles better than most other driveway materials. If you have trucks, RVs, or multiple vehicles, concrete provides the strength you need.
• Improved property value: A new concrete driveway is a smart investment that increases your home's resale value and creates a positive first impression for visitors and potential buyers.
• Design flexibility: Concrete offers more options than you might think. We can create smooth finishes, exposed aggregate, stamped patterns, or colored concrete to match your home's style.

How We Build Driveways That Last

The difference between a driveway that cracks within a few years and one that lasts decades comes down to proper preparation and installation technique. We don't cut corners. Here's what goes into every driveway we build:

Site preparation and grading: We start by removing any existing surface and preparing the ground beneath. Proper grading ensures water drains away from your home and prevents pooling on your driveway. We compact the soil to create a stable foundation that won't settle unevenly over time.

Base material installation: A solid base is crucial for a long-lasting driveway. We install several inches of compacted gravel or crushed stone to provide drainage and support. This layer prevents the concrete from shifting or cracking due to ground movement.

Forming and reinforcement: We set precise forms to ensure your driveway has clean edges and proper dimensions. For added strength, we install steel reinforcement or wire mesh within the concrete. This reinforcement holds the concrete together and prevents cracks from spreading.

Concrete pouring and finishing: We use high-quality concrete mixed to the right specifications for driveway use. Our experienced crew pours and levels the concrete, then applies your chosen finish. Control joints are cut at strategic locations to direct any cracks to these predetermined lines rather than randomly across your driveway.

Proper curing: Rushing the curing process leads to weak concrete. We protect your new driveway and allow it to cure properly before you drive on it. This patience pays off with a stronger, more durable surface.
