Paterson Concrete Works has been the premier concrete driveway contractor in the area for many years. We take pride in our ability to bring both functional quality and visual appeal together in the creation of your new concrete driveway.

To ensure the long-term performance of your driveway, we use advanced fiber-reinforced mixture systems combined with top-quality sealers to create a driveway surface that is resistant to cracking and aesthetically pleasing for decades to come.

We treat each driveway installation as a one-of-a-kind project, taking into consideration the dimensions and finishing style required to best fit the architectural characteristics of your property. We manage each phase of the process – including excavating the site, compacting the sub-grade, and completing the final broom or decorative finish to ensure that your driveway is free of movement and settling. If you’re looking to replace an old, crumbling asphalt driveway or want to install a new custom entrance, we’ll provide the structural strength and professional aesthetic that Paterson residents have come to expect.

Why Choose a Concrete Driveway?

A concrete driveway is more than just a place to park. It’s the first impression of your home, a durable surface for daily use, and a canvas for creative design. Our concrete driveways are engineered to withstand Paterson’s varied climate, from summer heat to winter freeze-thaw cycles.

  • A Longer Lifespan & Much Stronger Than Asphalt: A concrete driveway will last much longer than asphalt, particularly due to the heavy loads of SUVs and delivery trucks today. The high-PSI mixtures we use are also designed to be resistant to pitting and rutting commonly seen on lower-PSI pavement surfaces throughout Paterson’s humid summer months.
  • Low Maintenance: Besides occasional cleaning and sealing, a concrete driveway is virtually maintenance-free for decades. This makes it a great option for busy Paterson residents seeking a high-quality, low-maintenance entryway.
  • Increased Home Value: The clean, professional appearance of a properly poured concrete driveway will instantly boost the curb appeal of any home in the Silk City. This is a long-term investment that all potential buyers can see as a testament to the quality and structural integrity of the driveway.
  • Design Flexibility: We offer a number of finish options, including classic broom texture finishes to intricate stamped pattern finishes mimicking natural stone. This flexibility gives our customers the ability to personalize their driveway to fit the aesthetic style of their particular neighborhood in Paterson.
  • Durability Through Climate Extremes: Our installation method incorporates various expansion joints and reinforced sub-base designs to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations found in Northern New Jersey. These design elements prevent the surface from heaving, buckling, or cracking when the ground freezes and thaws.

Concrete Driveway Designs: Unleash Your Creativity

We offer a range of concrete driveway designs to match your style:

Classic Smooth Finish

A smooth finish that will give you a clean, modern look; this is a timeless look that is clean-lined and polished, and can add value to any contemporary Paterson house. It is also easy to keep up and has a bright, even surface that will highlight the clean lines of your home’s architectural design.

Stamped Patterns

Patterns that mimic the look of brick, cobblestone, or slate through stamping are decorative designs that will provide you with an upscale look of real stone as well as the durability of reinforced concrete. Our artists use precision molds to replicate the texture of the real thing, which immediately adds charm and sophistication to your Paterson entrance way.

Exposed Aggregate 

An exposed aggregate finish that has a textured, slip-resistant surface—this finish incorporates the beauty of river rocks or gravel into the surface of the concrete itself for an earthy-toned finish. The exposed aggregate surface gives your sloped driveway in New Jersey additional traction when it is cold and icy, and therefore provides both function and visual appeal.

Custom Colored Concrete

Colorful concrete to coordinate with your home’s exterior—we incorporate high-quality integral pigments and stains to enable us to customize the color of your driveway to be consistent with the color of your siding or masonry. This will enable your new driveway to be a seamless addition to your home’s current color scheme and to resist fading from sunlight.

Our team works with you to bring your concrete driveway ideas to life, whether you prefer sleek modernity or timeless elegance. We ensure that every design choice is backed by the structural reinforcement necessary to handle the daily demands of life in Paterson.

Our Concrete Driveway Installation Process

We follow a rigorous technical workflow to ensure that every driveway we install in Paterson is built for maximum longevity. By maintaining strict control over each phase of the project, we deliver a finished product that is as structurally sound as it is visually appealing.

  1. Site Evaluation & Preparation: The first part of our driveway construction process includes evaluating the stability of the soil at your Paterson location and cleaning up any pre-existing debris or failed asphalt/old driveways from your Paterson property site. This will allow us to start with a solid base to avoid future shifting/settling of your new concrete driveway.
  2. Proper Grading & Drainage Planning: We will then grade the site properly and create a strategic slope for proper drainage and runoff during those heavy rainstorms we get here in New Jersey. Proper drainage planning will prevent water from collecting near the foundation of your house, as well as potential ice formation on your driveway surface.
  3. Setting Forms & Placement of Reinforcement: Next, we set the forms (wooden or metal) to create the outline of your driveway and place the heavy-duty rebar/wire mesh for internal strength. It is essential to have this type of reinforcement to handle the weight of multiple vehicles and the expansive nature of the earth.
  4. Pouring High-Quality Concrete & Finishing: We will be using high-quality, industrial-grade concrete mixes specifically designed for the climate of northern New Jersey to give you a beautiful, strong driveway finish. Once poured, we will then apply your desired finish (broomed, troweled, or stamped).
  5. Final Curing & Sealing Process: After the concrete has had an adequate amount of time to cure, we will apply a professional-grade sealer to protect it from staining caused by oils and salts. This final step will lock in the color of your driveway and keep moisture out during those harsh freeze-thaw cycles.

We handle everything from initial quotes to the final touches, ensuring a smooth process and excellent results. Our goal is to provide a stress-free experience that leaves you with a beautiful, high-performance driveway that serves your home for decades.

Concrete Driveway Overlays: Refresh Without Replacing

If you have an old driveway that has some structural issues, however is still good underneath, then you may want to consider a concrete driveway overlay. An overlay will allow you to get a fresh face on your driveway; it will be just like getting a new driveway at a fraction of the cost and in a lot less time compared to ripping out your old driveway. The overlay is a specialized polymer-modified layer placed directly on top of your existing concrete slab. This will essentially cover all the cracks, pits, and discolorations that are visible on the surface of the old driveway.

An overlay is a great way to get a new look for your driveway without having to spend a fortune to do so. In addition to getting a new look on your driveway, you also have the option to get decorative stamps or custom stains added to the overlay. If you do decide to go with an overlay, you will have a long-lasting surface that will stand up well to the weather conditions found throughout New Jersey.
