A driveway is the first thing people see when they pull up to your home, and one of the hardest-working surfaces on your property. At Candor Concrete, we build driveways that look sharp and hold up to years of daily use, heavy vehicles, and Upstate South Carolina’s freeze-and-thaw cycles.
Every driveway starts with what you can’t see: a properly compacted base, correct grading for drainage, and reinforcement sized for your soil. We cut control joints in the right places to manage cracking and finish the surface to match your home, from a clean broom finish to exposed aggregate.
Whether you need a brand-new driveway, a full replacement for cracked and settling concrete, or an expansion for extra parking, we’ll give you an honest assessment and quality work that lasts.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a concrete driveway last? +
A properly installed and sealed concrete driveway typically lasts 25–40 years. We focus on correct base preparation, reinforcement, and joint placement so yours lasts as long as possible.
How long before I can drive on a new driveway? +
You can usually walk on it after 24 hours, but we recommend waiting 7 days before driving on it and about 28 days before parking heavy vehicles, so the concrete can fully cure.
Can you replace just part of my driveway? +
Yes. If damage is limited to one section, we can saw-cut and replace that area. During your free estimate we'll advise whether a repair or full replacement is the better value.
