Driveways, Walkways and Patios

​Concrete's strength, ease of maintenance and long service life have long made it the best choice for driveways. Adding Prairie Pure Color and other decorative options makes it an even better choice for creating beautiful effects that can enhance the value of your home. Concrete driveways are practical and economical, too.

​​Concrete driveways offer a number of benefits:

  • Strength and durability. With the proper installation and yearly maintenance your driveway should last more than 30 years. Prairie concrete is designed to resist the effects of freezing and thawing as well as extreme heat.
  • Cost effectiveness. The initial cost of concrete is compatible with other pavements. And its durability and low maintenance save money in the long run.
  • Easy maintenance. Simple spray sealers once a year and the occasional power wash will be enough to keep the concrete in great condition. Avoid using chemical de-icers during the winter months, especially the first year. Use sand for traction.
  • Environmentally sound. Concrete is made with renewable resources, can use recycled and waste materials, requires less energy to light and can be totally recycled at the end of its service life.
  • Long lasting beauty. Stamped and colored concrete can turn your concrete driveway into an essential part of your landscaping plan.
How well your driveway looks and performs long-term is largely related to the quality of workmanship and materials that go into it. We have compiled some tips for hiring the right contractor.

Walkways and Patios

Back yards are being transformed into outdoor living spaces that have become extensions of the house. These stay at home resort areas are becoming the new favorite room to relax, entertain, and cook in during the summer months. And the heart and soul is the concrete patio.

Because they are often connected to the house, concrete patios provide an opportunity to blend the interior with the exterior living areas. Using Prairie Pure Color concrete with stamping techniques, you can get the look of flagstone, tile, brick and many other patterns that will complement the style and look of your house patio without the expense of installing individual stones or bricks.
