Why Install a Concrete Driveway for Minneapolis Properties​

Minneapolis seasons shift from scorching summers to freezing winters. As such, choosing the right driveway material provides reliable year-round performance. Here’s why a concrete driveway is a better choice than its asphalt counterpart:  

  • Weather-resistant: Heavy snow, ice and road salt can wear down materials. Concrete’s rigid structure resists deformation, which prevents ruts and depressions that can develop in softer surfaces. This characteristic means fewer repairs, less hassle and a driveway that stays strong through every season. 
  • Strong and stable: A concrete driveway can withstand heavy loads without shifting or sinking. Asphalt driveways may develop dips over time, but concrete maintains its level surface. 
  • Low maintenance: Concrete requires minimal maintenance. An occasional power wash and sealing every few years are usually enough to keep it in top condition. 
  • Curb appeal: Concrete elevates a property’s image. Its clean, polished appearance can blend with the landscaping. Decorative options like stamped textures and custom color finishes allow for personalized designs that boost aesthetic appeal.
  • Enhanced property value: A well-maintained concrete driveway signals quality and care. This makes a strong first impression on potential buyers and may increase property value.
  • Environmentally friendly: Concrete is more sustainable than asphalt for eco-conscious property owners. Unlike asphalt, it requires fewer petroleum-based materials, which reduces reliance on fossil fuels.
