A concrete driveway is one of the most important surfaces on your property. It supports vehicles, affects drainage, and sets the tone for your home’s curb appeal. At The Art of Concrete, we design and install residential concrete driveways that are built to last — not rushed, not undersized, and never done with shortcuts.

​

We specialize in driveway replacements and new installations for homeowners who want durability, clean finishes, and long-term performance. We’ll also help you choose the right concrete finishes & colors based on how the driveway will be used and how it should age over time.

​

Why Homeowners Choose Concrete Driveways

​

Concrete remains one of the most popular driveway choices for homeowners because it offers:

• Long service life when properly installed

• Excellent performance in freeze–thaw conditions

• Clean, modern appearance

• Low maintenance compared to asphalt

• Custom finish and texture options

For homeowners planning ahead, our concrete pricing guide explains what factors influence driveway costs and long-term value.

​

Our Driveway Installation Approach

​

We don’t treat driveways as a quick pour. Every driveway is built using a proven process designed for Southern Ontario conditions.

​

Proper Excavation & Base Preparation

• Removal of old driveway materials

• Excavation to the appropriate depth

• Compacted granular base for stability and drainage

​​

Reinforced Concrete Slabs

• Steel rebar reinforcement (hand-tied grid)

• Correct concrete thickness for vehicle loads

• Control joints placed to manage cracking​

​

Professional Placement & Finishing

• Timed pours — never rushed

• Clean edges and consistent surface finish

• Finishes selected to balance traction and appearance

​​

Sealing & Protection

• Breathable concrete sealer

• Anti-slip additives where required

• Guidance on curing and care

This approach ensures your driveway performs well year after year.
