Save Your Walkways and Driveways

Preserving the Longevity of Your Concrete Walks & Driveway

Tips from All Pro Construction and Restoration in Sussex County, Delaware

Concrete is a smart, long-lasting investment for any home, but like anything exposed to the elements year-round in Sussex County, it needs a little care to keep it looking its best and performing for decades. At All Pro Construction and Restoration, we help homeowners protect and preserve their concrete walks and driveways with these simple, proven strategies.

1. Seal the Surface

A high-quality concrete sealer acts as a barrier against moisture, road salt, and stains. We recommend sealing every 2–3 years, especially in coastal Delaware where moisture levels run high and salty air can accelerate wear.

Pro Tip: We use commercial-grade sealers designed to withstand freeze-thaw cycles and UV damage.

2. Keep It Clean

Dirt, algae, and spilled materials like fertilizer or oil can slowly break down your concrete. A gentle power washing once or twice a year keeps buildup at bay and reveals potential issues early.

Bonus: Ask us about our soft-wash concrete cleaning services.

3. Watch the Edges

Cracks often start at the edges. Consider using curbing or concrete edge restraints to reduce breakage and maintain a neat border.

Pro Service: We install custom edge solutions that blend with your landscaping.

4. Repair Small Cracks Early

Don’t wait! Water and freezing temperatures can expand minor cracks quickly. Sealing them early prevents bigger problems.

We offer: Quick-patch repair services to keep things under control.

5. Redirect Water

Standing water weakens concrete. Proper drainage can extend the life of your surfaces and avoid costly repairs.

Solution: We offer regrading and trench drain installation for long-term protection.

6. Don’t Salt the Concrete

Salt can degrade concrete over time. Use sand or calcium-based ice melt designed for concrete instead.
