What is the first thing a potential home buyer sees when they view a property? The driveway. They will either park in it or walk up it as they approach the home. If you think a cracked and pitted driveway doesn’t matter to a potential buyer you would be wrong.
Here is what one agent had to say.
“A new concrete driveway will greatly increase your home’s curb appeal. Better curb appeal can speed the sale of your home. It may be an upgrade that will not increase the value of your home but without repair it might cause your house to not sell at all.”
Hardscapes Inc. is expert at repairing cracked and pitted driveways and garage floors. Don’t wait until your house is up for sale to get the job done.

No matter how much care you take with your concrete driveway it will eventually start to wear.
If your home was built in the last fifty years your driveway, and probably your walkway, are built with concrete. These outdoor features of your home need to be made of materials that are durable and long lasting, and concrete fits the bill.
What do you do when signs of aging start to appear? Whether it’s pitting due to oil or other petroleum products leaking from vehicles onto the surface, or from shifting soil that leaves cracks in the cement where grass and weeds can grow, your driveway can become an ugly welcome home.
If your driveway is looking like it may need to be jack-hammered out and re-poured that can be a big expense.
Here’s the good news, don’t just put a bandage on it, there is another solution. Concrete resurfacing is a way to bring those aging concrete walks and drives back to life.
Its spring and we all know what that means, time to pull out the lawn furniture and clean up all the stones, mud, salt and whatever else your vehicle has deposited over the winter.
That’s not the worst part though. What are you going to do about those nice big cracks in the concrete left from the big temperature swings here in Alberta?
Don’t try to patch them up with some concrete sealer you got from the local hardware store. Save time and money and call Hardscapes Inc. for an estimate on how to beautify, protect and fix your nasty garage floor.

Stained concrete has been around for a long time and it will never go out of style. It’s still a classic look for a cozy basement. Warm colours with some gorgeous mottling for character. With many colour options and combinations, every floor is a “one of a kind”
These concrete floors can even be heated providing not only a pleasant surface to walk on but can help keep your home warm on cold winter nights.
This cracked up basement floor was beautifully restored by Hardscapes Inc.
After grinding and patching, the floor received an overlay of Elite Crete’s thin Finish. Once dry, it was stained for a gorgeous titanium mottling. Top coated with Elite Crete E100 PT1 epoxy and a satin polyurethane, this floor will stand up to the daily abuse of kids, toys, pets etc.
Ever wonder what stains your driveway more, oil or transmission fluid?
Quite honestly it doesn’t really matter. Either one will leave a nasty stain. If you leave it too long or you have a chronic problem with you vehicle it may be imbedded in the cement permanently.
These two fluids left un-attended can also lead to pitting in the concrete. Small divots that will let water sit and will eventually crack the surface.
If your drive way sounds like the one above you might consider re-surfacing. Hardscapes Inc. has a surface solution for every driveway situation. Fast and professional, get your driveway looking brand new in no time.
