ENHANCED YOUR CURB APPEAL WITH A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY.

Concrete driveways are a very popular choice among Minnesota homeowners due to the durability the surface offers in hot summer months as well as harsh winter conditions. Not only can concrete driveways last 3-4x longer than asphalt and gravel driveways, but they also require less maintenance making the long-term cost of ownership cheaper.

OUR PROCESS

At Kali Concrete, our goal is to make your experience as straightforward and hassle-free as possible. Here’s what you can expect when working with us:

INITIAL CONSULTATION

We start with a brief phone call to understand your project. Tell us about your vision—size, purpose, and the desired style. Once we have a clear idea of what you’re aiming for, we’ll suggest practical solutions and provide a preliminary estimate. If everything looks good, we’ll set up an in-person consultation.

IN-PERSON MEETING

During this meeting, we’ll dive deeper into the specifics, answer your questions, and show you various color and style options available for your concrete driveway. We’ll take detailed measurements of the space, provide you with an accurate quote, and once approved, we’ll schedule your project’s start date.

CONSTRUCTION PHASE

Before we begin construction, we’ll confirm all your choices regarding color and style, addressing any final questions you may have. Then, our team will get to work: preparing the site, laying rebar, pouring concrete, applying your selected pattern or texture, and finishing the surface with a durable sealant.

FINAL WALK-THROUGH

Once your concrete driveway is complete, we’ll do a final walk-through to ensure you’re completely satisfied with our work. We’ll also explain warranty details, making sure you’re all set to enjoy your new concrete driveway.

CONCRETE DESIGNED
TO PERFORM.

MIDWEST APPROVED

To ensure the maximum lifespan of your new beautiful concrete driveway, Kali Concrete uses a distinct concrete mixture that can withstand Minnesota’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles.

SAFER SURFACE

Another added bonus is that concrete surfaces stay much cooler than asphalt surfaces in the summer heat. So if you have children or 4 legged friends, their feet and paws will thank you!

TEXTURED BORDERS

One of the most popular design options customers choose is utilizing a texture stamped concrete border with integral color that surrounds concrete with a traditional broom finish.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR CONCRETE.

Concrete driveways offer ultimate flexibility when it comes to style and aesthetics. From exposed aggregate and stamped patterns to integral colors and textures, you can design your concrete surface to match the style of your home.

BROOM FINISH

A traditional broom finish offers a uniform brushed texture to your concrete surface. This is a great option for homeowners who are looking for a slightly rough finish with some extra traction.

INTEGRAL COLOR

Color your concrete driveway to match your home’s aesthetic. Our integral color add-on is a fairly simple process where we add pigment to the concrete mixture, allowing us to adjust the final color of your concrete driveway. With a wide variety of colors to choose from, you can easily match the color scheme of your home.

TEXTURE STAMP

Concrete texture stamps are an excellent way to add unique, large format textures to your driveway. Stamps are often combined with integral colors to create a beautiful surface that resembles large slabs of slate or other decorative stone surfaces.

TEXTURE PATTERN

Texture patterns are best for creating complex, small format patterns resembling brick, pavers, or cobblestone. These patterns are commonly combined with colored pigments to create a high end finish at a fraction of the cost.

EXPOSED AGGREGATE

Exposed aggregate offers a unique, glossy finish that accentuates the small rocks of the concrete. This unique style is achieved by spraying a retarding agent on the surface after its poured, then covering it with a sheet of polyurethane. Once it is cured, we clean the surface with an acid wash to expose the aggregate. Once the surface is clean, we apply a high-gloss sealer to achieve the final glossy look and extend the life of the surface.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW MUCH DOES A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY COST?

The cost of a concrete driveway primarily depends on the size, style, and shape of the surface. A large circular driveway with integral color stamps will be significantly more expensive than a standard straight concrete driveway with no modifications to the color or surface texture.

HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY?

Concrete driveways require minimal maintenance but there are a few things you should keep in mind to maximize the life of your new driveway.

In the winter, it’s important to avoid using harsh chemicals and de-icing agents. When you shovel your driveway, we recommend using a plastic shovel or plow to prevent any chipping of the edges. While these are the same general rules for most driveway surfaces, we want to give you the best advice to maximize the life of your driveway.

The only maintenance task that is unique to concrete driveways is to apply a concrete sealer every 2-3 years to protect against moisture intrusion and reduce the chance of cracking during freeze-thaw cycles. Reapplying sealing is a little more important if you select a stamped, textured, or colored concrete surface.

HOW LONG SHOULD A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY LAST?

Your concrete driveway should last 20-30 years with the proper maintenance. Minnesota’s harsh winters and hot summers can take a toll on concrete surfaces, but this goes for virtually all common driveway materials. The key to maximizing the lifespan of your concrete driveway is to take care of cracks early. Letting a small crack go untouched through a Minnesota winter will almost certainly result in a significantly larger crack in the spring. Taking the time to apply a sealer over the cracks will ensure your concrete driveway reaches its full lifespan.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY TO CURE?

The curing time of your concrete driveway can vary due to size and composition differences of each surface, but in general you can walk on it within 48 hours and drive on it with standard vehicles after 7 days. Please refer to the chart for a complete breakdown of concrete driveway curing times.
