At S & N concrete we provide our customers with the highest grade and quality of concrete as opposed to just a basic mix. Our high performance mix may cost a bit more per square foot initially than a basic mix, but in the long run it could save you the expense and headaches of repairing cracks and other problems caused by an inadequate mix design. Keep in mind that your driveway will be subject to vehicle traffic, freeze/thaw conditions, and possibly deicing chemicals and salts. You'll need a durable, low-permeability mix to withstand these conditions.
- A compressive strength of at least 4000 psi.
- An air content of around 6%. In cold climates, air entrainment (which involves adding an air-entraining admixture to fresh concrete at the we batch plant to cause the development of microscopic air bubbles) allows any moisture that does enter the concrete to expand in the air pockets during a freeze-thaw cycle instead of putting internal pressure on the concrete
- A water-cement ratio below 0.50, to improve concrete durability and strength (see Use a Low Water to Cement Ratio
