Concrete driveway adds up to 10% value to your home
A concrete driveway is a prominent feature at the entrance
of your home.
If your driveway is in good shape it has a higher perceived value as well as actual value - of up to 10% increase to your home. If considering selling in the future, buyers will compare your house to others as part of their due diligence.
Driveways are very practical too – bike riding, push chair and wheel chair access. Kids can play ball games and it can be used as BBQ area.
A vehicle parked in the driveway helps to protect it from vandals that normally lurk on the street walks at night. (like a possum, but with bad intentions).
Think about the insurance discount the insurance company will give you when you tell them your vehicle is parked off the street!
Any investment into the driveway you will get back, and some.
