What is Concrete?
Concrete is a widely-used material, ideal for a variety of applications, including parking lots, industrial facilities, airfields, roadways, highways, and driveways. It’s known for its strength and durability, which is why it’s often the go-to material for heavy-duty projects. The added benefit of concrete is the range of decorative options available, allowing homeowners and businesses alike to customize patios, driveways, and walkways to suit their design preferences.
Concrete is highly resistant to temperature extremes, handling the high heat of summer and freezing winter temperatures better than many other paving materials. Its ability to withstand heavy loads makes it perfect for parking lots, driveways, and areas where dumpsters or heavy vehicles are often parked for extended periods.
Howard Paving follows industry best practices, ensuring that all concrete installations are properly prepared and reinforced. We use high-quality materials that consist of water, aggregate (such as rock, sand, or gravel), and Portland cement as a binding agent. Each driveway, walkway, or patio we pave is at least 6 inches thick, providing a strong foundation that meets or exceeds industry standards.
The Paved Difference
Concrete parking lots and driveways offer significant advantages over dirt or gravel surfaces. When installed and maintained properly, concrete can last for decades. Unlike gravel or dirt roads, which shift and erode over time, concrete provides a stable, smooth surface that requires less maintenance. It’s more durable than asphalt and stands up to wear and tear from weather, traffic, and heavy vehicles.
Unpaved or gravel driveways can cause numerous issues over time, such as developing holes, ruts, and erosion. Rainwater and snow can make these problems worse, leading to further damage and costly repairs. By investing in a well-paved concrete driveway or parking lot, you’ll benefit from easier snow removal, smoother surfaces, and a polished appearance that improves curb appeal.
First Impressions Matter
A clean, well-paved concrete driveway or parking lot can dramatically enhance the appearance of your property. It provides a professional, finished look that not only integrates with the surrounding landscape but also adds value to your home or business. Concrete driveways create a seamless transition from the street to your property, boosting curb appeal and creating a welcoming entrance for visitors or customers.
For residential properties, concrete patios and walkways offer functional outdoor spaces for entertaining, dining, or relaxing. They provide an easy-to-clean, durable surface that keeps dirt, bugs, and mud at bay, making your outdoor areas more enjoyable for family and friends.

Concrete Removal
Over time, concrete surfaces can deteriorate due to weathering, erosion, and heavy use. Cracks, uneven surfaces, and frost heave can all contribute to the breakdown of concrete driveways, sidewalks, and patios. These issues not only create an eyesore but can also pose safety risks. If your concrete surfaces have reached the point where repairs are no longer effective, it may be time to consider concrete removal.
At Howard Paving, we specialize in concrete demolition and removal, ensuring your old, damaged concrete is safely cleared away, making space for new construction.
