When do I need a New Driveway?

In this guide we will explain when you should look to revive your driveway and bring it back to life. Do you feel like your drive may have seen better days? Noticeable symptoms that you can spot on a driveway becoming old and in need of replacement are things like cracks or damage. Other reasons or symptoms could be drainage problems or the surface is too slippery. We have noticed customers look to replace a driveway when the existing drive is in a very poor condition. The gravel or stones are scattered and scruffy. The surface could no longer be level and areas could start to rise depending on the age and material of the driveway. If you have a concrete driveway, the most noticeable signs of a needed replacement will be large cracks, missing chunks of material or it could simply come down to visual appearance. With new products like resin being introduced, a new driveway is becoming a main investment for most homeowners in Leicester. These products offer so much variety and benefit. Resin can be an affordable option to replace the driveway with something porous and long lasting.  Some driveways can become a risk and unsafe if left for years without proper attention. You would need to replace your driveway every 30 years. If you keep the driveway clean and well maintained it could last longer. Other times your driveway might just need some TLC and a bit of a spruce up. A few repairs and added extras can also help transform a driveway outside a home.

Commercially speaking, in areas with high traffic and lots of heavy cargo could be subject to replacement every 5-10 years. These areas for maintenance management purposes should be well kept, clean and supervised. Public areas or parking spaces need repair or attention every 8-10 years. When a large exterior landscape has been artificially surfaced with concrete, tarmac, resin or any other material, replacement and repairs are bound to be needed. Many requirements of large commercial areas with lots of transportation and movement have been subject to specialist material and  techniques to optimise risk of damage , health and safety and appearance.
