Extend the life and appearance of your concrete investment.
Concrete paving is known for its strength and durability—but like any surface, it needs routine care to remain safe, attractive, and long-lasting. Whether it's a sidewalk, curb, dumpster pad, or loading dock, proactive maintenance can save property owners thousands in repairs.
At Tibbs Paving, we’ve spent over 30 years serving the Mid-Atlantic and Northern Virginia region, delivering concrete paving solutions that stand the test of time. Here are our top tips for maintaining your concrete surfaces.
🧽 1. Keep It Clean
Dirt, oil, chemicals, and leaves can stain or degrade your concrete. Regular sweeping and power washing keeps the surface safe and looking fresh.
💡 Tip: Schedule a professional pressure wash annually to maintain a clean and uniform appearance.
🧊 2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals in Winter
While de-icers may melt snow and ice quickly, many contain chemicals that can deteriorate the concrete surface. Use sand or non-corrosive de-icing products instead.
🚫 Avoid products with ammonium nitrates or sulfates—they aggressively break down concrete.
🔍 3. Seal the Surface
Concrete sealers protect against moisture penetration, stains, and wear. Applying a high-quality sealer every 2–3 years can dramatically increase the life of your concrete.
Tibbs Paving offers sealing services as part of our long-term concrete care plans.
🕳️ 4. Repair Cracks Early
Even small cracks can grow over time, especially during freeze-thaw cycles. Quick crack filling prevents water infiltration and costly future repairs.
We specialize in concrete crack repairs that blend seamlessly with your existing surface.
🧱 5. Schedule Regular Inspections
A yearly inspection by a professional paving company like Tibbs Paving helps identify potential issues before they escalate. From joint separation to surface flaking, early detection saves money.
