Why Businesses Benefit From Concrete Flatwork

February 24, 2023

Commercial properties need flatwork that looks great, is durable, and easy to maintain. Concrete is an ideal material for this type of work. 

Durability 

Concrete flatwork is a strong, durable material that can last up to 30 years without requiring repair work or pouring mix. Successful commercial and industrial property owners often install it in parking lots, warehouse floors, access ramps, curbs, and sidewalks. This is because it can handle the heavy traffic that these areas experience. 

Aesthetics 

Using concrete for sidewalks, driveways and patios is a great way to enhance your business’s curb appeal. Aesthetic options for concrete flatwork include stains, surface patterns, and stamping. These can add much-needed flair to boring sidewalks, driveways, patios, and other paved surfaces. Investing in quality concrete flatwork is an investment that will definitely pay off in the long run as it helps boost your brand’s reputation. It can even help you develop a unique selling proposition or USP that sets your business apart from the rest. 

Low Maintenance 

Concrete flatwork is super easy to maintain. It is resistant to staining, doesn’t require sealing or waxing, and is a great option for high traffic areas. When it comes to maintenance, concrete is more resilient than other paving materials, like asphalt. It is also more tolerant of weather and other environmental conditions. 

Affordability 

Concrete flatwork is one of the most cost-effective options available for commercial properties. The upfront cost of installation is higher than asphalt paving, but it will save money in the long run as the flatwork doesn’t need to be repaired or replaced as often. A big factor in how much concrete flatwork costs is the size of the job. A larger project will have a higher cost per square foot. Other factors in how much flatwork costs include reinforcing, finishing and the type of work that needs to be done after it is poured. Certain depths of concrete, such as driveways and patios, may need rebar reinforcement to prevent the concrete from cracking.
