Text Box: Concrete

Concrete is rigid pavement that is used for sidewalks, curbs, dumpster pads, and sometimes entire parking lots. For optimum performance, concrete should be placed on a solid foundation of crushed stone.

The design life of concrete pavements are generally between 25 and 30 years. During this time, it will not be maintenance free, however. Caulking, spot repairs, removal and replacement of broken sections, and drainage modifications may all be necessary to ensure that the concrete performs as it is intended to. Concrete sidewalk and curb systems almost never get to the point where entire removal and replacement is necessary, unless aesthetics are a major factor.
