Drives that owners keep and landlords look after
Owners live in 284 of Valley Mills' 409 occupied homes, about 69%, in the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 survey estimates. For an owner who plans to stay, the Illinois Ready Mixed Concrete Association says concrete driveways stand up to traffic "often for over 30 years."
Part of getting there happens below the slab. One published guide names improper subgrade preparation as one of the most common reasons residential slabs on grade fail early, so the ground is dug out, soft spots are replaced and the base is compacted before any forms go in.
For a rental, upkeep comes down mostly to sealer. The same publisher suggests resealing about every two years, or once the finish starts to show wear, and says that, by type and exposure, a sealer lasts anywhere from 1 to 3 years. A penetrating sealer leaves no gloss and doesn't make the surface slippery.
A pattern can be pressed into a new drive (stamped concrete in Valley Mills), and one sunken panel may need only leveling rather than a new drive. Our Valley Mills concrete services cover the rest.

Driveway questions from owners and landlords
Is concrete worth it over asphalt for a rental's driveway?
On life span, the numbers lean to concrete: one published guide expects a properly installed and maintained concrete driveway to last 30 years or longer, against a service life of about 15 years for asphalt. Upfront cost is the other half of the decision, and the free estimate prices the concrete side of it.
Can just the broken part of an old driveway be replaced?
Yes, where the damage is local, and the rest of the slab stays. The catch is color, since new concrete can be hard to match to the old. Once a driveway is past the 30-year mark, the same guide says a full replacement is the most cost-effective option and the best-looking one.
How soon can a new driveway be sealed?
About a month after the pour. One published timeline calls 30 days a good time to seal, and the Michigan Concrete Association says penetrating sealer is fine to apply once the slab is 30 days old and usually wants a fresh coat every three to five years.
