Elevate your property with a beautifully crafted concrete driveway, installed by our specialized in-house Twin Cities crews.
When it comes to upgrading your home's exterior, a concrete driveway is a premier investment that offers incredible longevity and structural support. As a highly experienced concrete driveway contractor in the Twin Cities, ACT Asphalt Specialties knows exactly what it takes to build a rigid, reliable pavement designed to withstand Minnesota's harsh climate.
We believe in educating our customers throughout the entire process, ensuring you get a beautiful surface and the knowledge needed to protect it. From the initial pour to the final curing stages, we are committed to doing our job the right way so you get exactly what you pay for.
Concrete offers a distinct advantage due to its rigid durability and its versatile design options. Whether you want a traditional look or a highly customized entrance, the ACT Asphalt Specialties' concrete driveway installation process is built around precision and aesthetic appeal.
Concrete is a rigid pavement that provides exceptional load-bearing strength. A properly installed concrete driveway is incredibly long-lasting and requires less routine maintenance than other paving materials, making it a high-value upgrade for your home.
Concrete stamping allows us to imprint beautiful patterns and textures directly into the surface, mimicking the high-end look of stone, brick, or slate. This adds massive curb appeal and a unique architectural element to your property.
Gone are the days of only having plain gray concrete. Concrete staining infuses the surface with rich, lasting colors. To protect these customized looks, we use special sealers that bring out the colors and textures of colored or stamped concrete, which should be reapplied every second year.
Because concrete will naturally shrink and shift during curing, we strategically saw-cut or tool control joints into the surface. This helps encourage any natural cracking to occur at the bottom of these weakened joint areas, though some random cracks may occur.
The "C" in our name stands for "Concrete", and for over 40 years, we have been a trusted paving partner across the five-county Twin Cities metro area. We deliver exceptional results and peace of mind for every residential project. From asphalt paving to concrete repairs, our crews are specialized to perform the exact service you need.
You must wait 24 hours before walking on your new concrete. For vehicle parking and truck traffic, you must wait 7 to 10 days to allow the concrete to cure properly and gain sufficient strength.
Upon installation, we apply a curing sealant that is good for the first year. For colored, stamped, or exposed aggregate surfaces, a special sealer needs to be applied every second year to protect against surface defects and keep the colors and textures vibrant.
Concrete is a rigid pavement and is guaranteed to crack due to ground movement or material shrinkage during curing. However, we saw-cut or tool joints into the concrete at pre-specified intervals so that cracking occurs in those hidden areas rather than randomly across the surface.
No, you should never use salt on your new concrete. Ammonium Nitrate or Ammonium Sulfate salts can react chemically with the concrete and cause surface scaling. Using salt will void our warranty.
