Signs You Need a New Driveway
Your driveway takes a beating day in and day out. Over the years, even the toughest surfaces start showing wear. Here are some signs it’s time for a refresh:
- Cracks and potholes: These can damage tires and make for a bumpy ride. Plus, they don’t exactly look great.
- Drainage issues: If water pools on your driveway or runs toward your house when it rains, your current driveway grading and drainage aren’t up to snuff.
- Discoloration or stains: Whether from oil leaks or sun fading, a blotchy driveway detracts from your home’s appearance.
- Sinking or uneven areas: These problems signal a hidden underlying cause like poor soil compaction during installation, water erosion over time, or tree roots growing under the driveway. When one section of concrete lifts above another, it not only looks uneven but also creates a tripping hazard.
- Dated appearance: Driveways don’t last forever. Styles change, as do standards for what makes a driveway practical and safe.
Custom Driveway Design Options
At Lake Norman Custom Scapes, we don’t follow a one-size-fits-all approach. Here are some of the ways we can custom-design your new driveway:
- Plain concrete is affordable, long-lasting, and easy to maintain. You’ll enjoy clean lines and a minimalist vibe.
- Stamped concrete adds texture and style, mimicking brick, stone, or tile without the cost or upkeep.
- Stained concrete brings bold or subtle hues that last for years, even in direct sunlight.
- Exposed aggregate designs show off the gravel inside the concrete for a natural, rugged look with built-in slip resistance.
- Driveway pavers are versatile and stylish. Choose from countless shapes, sizes, and colors to fit your home’s aesthetic.
Driveway Grading & Drainage
Driveway design isn’t just about what you can see. Without the right slope and surrounding drainage, rainwater could stick around, which leads to cracks, erosion, and foundation problems. Proper grading is the key to a long-lasting driveway. We measure and adjust every detail to ensure water flows away from your house, not toward it or under the driveway. Our team evaluates the lay of your land and installs drainage solutions that can handle North Carolina’s unpredictable weather.
