Inspect Your Vehicles

Cars and other vehicles can leak all kinds of fluids. These fluids can leave some serious stains on the surface of your driveway. Stains mean having to invest in services like driveway washing. While we do recommend that you invest in such a service at least once a year to better maintain the image of your property, it can be a real pain to have to invest in such a service every time your car leaks and your garden hose isn't getting rid of the stain.

Be sure to regularly inspect your vehicles to ensure they are not only working properly but also not leaking all sorts of nasty stuff onto your driveway. In the end, your driveway and your vehicles will be much better off.

Trim Down Trees And Plants

The thing about roots is that they grow underneath things. Large roots from trees and large plants can grow underneath your driveway and push up on the concrete. This growth and movement can cause your driveway to become unsteady, unlevel, and even break due to the pressure.

In order to avoid that, make sure to trim down your greenery. Sometimes a complete removal might be in the cards to best protect the interest of your driveway.

Park Away From The Edge

Parking right on the edges of your driveway can cause those areas to break, crack, and falter under the pressure. In order to prevent any breakage, try to park as close to the center as you can. The edges of most driveways are not reinforced and can break away with enough weight and stress.
