When can I drive across my new driveway? Featured

Written by  Diane Steele
The question comes up often. "When can I drive on my new driveway?" The answer is once it if finished curing. Curing is a very important step for new concrete.  Curing increases the strength and durability immensely.  How long to cure depends upon the type of concrete used.  Length of time to cure depends upon the type of concrete used:hours.

  • 4000 PSI - The most common type of concrete used is 4000 PSI, which needs to set for 7 days before being driven on. (4000 PSI is recommended for residential drives due to asthetics).
  • C4: Needs 3 days to cure.
  • M4: Needs 24 hours – is a product that cures quicker, but costs more.
As you can see, time and patience are necessary when waiting for concrete to set!
