Concrete driveways in Windsor: what to know.
A driveway is only as good as what's under it. Here's what matters on Windsor clay and through a Windsor winter.
Concrete or asphalt?
Asphalt usually costs less up front. Concrete usually lasts longer and doesn't need sealing every few years. A well-built concrete driveway can last 30 years or more.
Clay and the base
Clay moves with the seasons. A properly dug and compacted base is what keeps a driveway from settling or cracking.
Permits
If the work crosses the boulevard or changes the curb, the City of Windsor requires a driveway/access permit. Other towns have their own rules.
The first winter
Skip de-icing salt on a new driveway through its first winter. Plain sand gives you traction without damaging the surface.
Pick your finish
Broom finish is the standard. Exposed aggregate and stamped concrete cost more and change the look.
