A practical textured finish offering slip resistance and a clean appearance. A strong choice for driveways and walkways.
Reveals decorative stone aggregate for added texture and a natural appearance, especially useful around pools and slopes.
Imprints patterns such as slate, cobblestone, brick and wood while allowing integral color for a decorative finish.
Pigment is mixed into the concrete for consistent color throughout the slab and can be combined with stamping.
A subtle textured surface created by pressing rock salt into wet concrete and removing it after curing.
A hard smooth finish commonly used for garage floors and interior slabs where an ultra-smooth surface is appropriate.
Choosing the right surface material depends on budget, lifespan, maintenance and appearance. The comparison below helps Rockville homeowners weigh the options.
| Factor | Concrete | Pavers | Asphalt |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lifespan | 30–50 years | 25–50+ years | 15–20 years |
| Upfront Cost | $8–$18 / sq ft | $15–$40 / sq ft | $3–$7 / sq ft |
| Maintenance | Periodic sealing and limited repairs | Joint maintenance and unit resetting | Crack repair and periodic sealing |
| Repairability | Repairs can be visible | Individual units are replaceable | Moderate |
| Appearance | Clean with decorative options | Premium, highly customizable | Basic |
| Best For | Driveways, patios and walkways | Premium patios and high-end hardscapes | Budget-focused large driveways |
Unsuitable material is removed and the subgrade is prepared with a properly compacted aggregate base appropriate to the project.
Concrete strength, air entrainment and reinforcement are selected for the intended use and Maryland exterior conditions.
Grades and control-joint locations are planned to direct water away from structures and help manage shrinkage cracking.
Appropriate curing time and exterior sealing help protect the finished concrete from moisture, staining and freeze-thaw deterioration.
Concrete pricing varies by project type, size and site conditions. The table below provides typical installed cost ranges for common Rockville projects.
| Project Type | Cost per Sq Ft | Typical Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plain Concrete Driveway | $8–$12 | $5,000–$9,600 (600 sq ft) | Standard broom finish; base and reinforcement included |
| Exposed Aggregate Driveway | $10–$15 | $6,000–$12,000 (600 sq ft) | Decorative aggregate surface |
| Stamped Concrete Driveway | $14–$22 | $8,400–$13,200 (600 sq ft) | Pattern, color and sealant |
| Plain Concrete Patio | $8–$13 | $2,400–$5,200 (300 sq ft) | Broom or salt finish |
| Stamped Concrete Patio | $14–$22 | $4,200–$8,800 (300 sq ft) | Pattern, color and sealant |
| Concrete Walkway | $10–$18 | $1,000–$3,600 (100–200 sq ft) | Finish and site access affect cost |
| Concrete Steps | $300–$700 / step | $1,500–$3,500 (5 steps) | Formed, poured and finished |
| Retaining Wall | $30–$65 / sq ft wall face | Varies by site | Engineering and permitting may apply |
| Garage Floor Slab | $6–$10 | $2,400–$5,000 (400 sq ft) | Smooth finish; coatings optional |
| Resurfacing / Overlay | $3–$8 | $1,500–$4,800 (600 sq ft) | Only where existing concrete is structurally sound |
Driveways and slabs are reinforced according to project requirements rather than using shortcuts.
Exterior pours account for freeze-thaw cycles, drainage, curing and weather conditions.
MHIC licensed, insured and backed by a 1-year workmanship warranty.
97+ reviews and a full-service design-build team for coordinated exterior projects.
We inspect the property, measure the work area, review existing concrete and discuss finish and design options.
We review site conditions, applicable permitting and utility-marking requirements before excavation.
Existing concrete is removed when required, unsuitable soil is addressed and the excavation is prepared for the new base.
A properly graded aggregate base is installed and compacted in lifts for uniform support.
Forms are set to grade, drainage slopes are established, and rebar or mesh is positioned as required.
Concrete is placed, struck off, floated and finished to the selected broom, aggregate, stamped, salt or smooth texture.
We allow appropriate cure time, remove forms and debris, and complete sealing when the concrete reaches the recommended cure stage.
Not every damaged slab needs complete replacement. We assess cracks, spalling, surface scaling and settlement to determine whether repair, resurfacing or replacement makes the most sense.
Appropriate for isolated cracks, localized spalling and some surface deterioration when the underlying slab remains structurally sound.
A cost-effective option for structurally sound concrete with widespread surface wear that needs a refreshed appearance.
Recommended when the slab has major structural cracking, severe settlement, heaving, failed sub-base conditions or inadequate original construction.
Our team works on residential concrete projects throughout Rockville and nearby Montgomery County communities, including sloped and wooded properties where drainage, grade and site access require careful planning.
