A concrete driveway is one of the most durable surface investments you can make for a Bend home — properly installed, it should last 30 or more years with minimal maintenance. We install new concrete driveways and replace failing asphalt or old concrete across Deschutes County.
What Goes Into a Quality Driveway
A properly installed concrete driveway in Central Oregon starts with adequate base preparation — grading, compaction, and drainage planning. In Oregon's wet climate, drainage away from the structure is critical. We pour at minimum 4-inch thickness (5-6 for heavier vehicles), use appropriate mix design for our climate, finish with a broom texture for traction, and cut control joints to manage cracking patterns.
Concrete vs. Asphalt in Deschutes County
In Deschutes County, both materials work, but concrete has a longer service life (25-40 years vs 15-20 for asphalt) and does not require sealing or resurfacing on the same cycle. The higher initial cost is typically offset by lower maintenance over the life of the surface. We give honest comparisons so you can make the right choice for your situation.
