Concrete driveways are long-lasting and easy to maintain. They are highly durable and extremely strong, making them capable of withstanding the weight of vehicles and other heavy loads. Concrete driveways can improve the curb-appeal of a property and help you sell a property faster when the homeowner is ready to sell the property. It can increase the value of the home and provide a smooth surface that improves the safety and comfort of driving and parking at a home by reducing the risks of accidents. 

How Thick Should a Concrete Driveway Be?

Regular driveways are typically 4″ thick and capable of withstanding regular vehicles. 5″ thick concrete driveways can withstand heavier vehicles. 6″ thick concrete driveways can withstand heavy-duty trucks and commercial equipment. 4” thick concrete driveways are most common for residential properties but if you live in an area with heavy traffic or use large vehicles regularly the extra strength and durability of a thicker driveway may be necessary to prevent wear-and-tear damage and support extra weight.
