Boulder sees strong chinook winds, spring hail and quick swings between warm days and freezing nights.
Freeze-thaw cycles and spring hail are the main enemies of concrete in Boulder. Air-entrained concrete, good drainage and a sealer help it last.
Anything in the public right-of-way, like a driveway approach or the sidewalk, needs City of Boulder approval. A good contractor will handle the permit.
Common questions
Is stamped concrete slippery?
It can be when wet. Ask for a slip-resistant additive in the sealer, especially around pools.
How long does stamped concrete last?
Decades for the concrete itself. The colour and sealer need refreshing every few years to keep it looking new.
How long before I can drive on a new driveway?
Usually about a week for a car, longer for anything heavy. Your contractor will tell you for your mix and the weather.
