Cracked Or Uneven Driveway?
We’ve all been there–a beautiful new concrete driveway gets its first crack. And then another. And another. Oil or gasoline leaves stains here and there that you can’t scrub away. A few big storms come through, and the runoff erodes the soil beneath, making your formerly safe driveway an eyesore every time you pull in.
But do you need to tear up your entire driveway and spend a fortune messing up your yard and your neighbors’ yards, too? Not necessarily—The Concrete Wizard is here to show you the options available for concrete driveway resurfacing.
Get Ready For A Gorgeous, New Driveway
No one wants to go through the long and expensive hassle of concrete driveway repair. The mess in your yard, the disruption to your daily life, and the patchwork of new and old repairs make your concrete driveway look even worse. Add to that underlying issues in the ground below or slipshod work, and before you know it, you’re looking at a homeowner’s worst nightmare.
The Concrete Wizard is your #1 choice in Virginia for concrete driveway resurfacing and repair. Our team of friendly experts has been doing this for years and knows the right way to make your old, tired concrete driveway look like gorgeous again using Vuba Stone, the world’s #1 resin stone surfacing system.
What Is Vuba Stone?
Vuba Stone was created in the UK in 2009 as a durable, flexible, and UV-stable option for concrete driveway repair and resurfacing. Using natural stone sourced from Spain, Vuba Stone is an excellent way to repair your worn out concrete driveway and add beauty to your outdoor space. Since it’s permeable, it allows water to flow through the surface and drain back into the earth.
Here’s what else is unique about Vuba Stone:
01
Hard Wearing and
UV Stable
Vuba Stone can withstand significant wear and tear, making it perfect for areas with heavy vehicle and pedestrian foot traffic. When considering concrete driveway crack repair, Vuba Stone adds a surface that won’t fade or discolor when exposed to sunlight over time and resists heat buildup thanks to its natural composition and permeability.
02
Low Maintenance and
Adaptable to Your Needs
When used for concrete driveway crack repair, Vuba Stone can be easily maintained with occasional power washing, retaining its brand-new appearance for years. With a 5-year guarantee, you won’t have to worry about cracks and holes–and if you encounter issues, Vuba Stone is repairable. It won’t overtax your driveway concrete repair cost, as you can fix small spots and never know the difference.
03
Quick
Installation
Since you can effortlessly add Vuba Stone to an existing driveway concrete resurfacing project or a brand-new slab, you can upgrade your driveway quickly. Resin-based, the surface will begin to seep into the concrete within 20 minutes and be fully cured in 24-48 hours, eliminating the weeks-long curing that a traditional concrete driveway requires.
04
Curb
Appeal
With Vuba Stone’s 24 different colors, creating a show stopping driveway just got easier. The natural stone adds an air of class and sophistication to your residential driveway and walkways and increases the resale value of your property. Vuba Stone can even be customized with designs!
05
Eco
Friendly
Vuba Stone is permeable, allowing any stormwater runoff to escape back into the soil, which benefits the environment. And thanks to its longevity, you won’t be replacing it for a very long time.

Not Ready For Resurfacing Yet? Here’s How To Keep Your Concrete Driveway In Top Shape
A concrete driveway can appear to be a significant investment compared to other surfaces used for driveways, such as gravel or asphalt. But asphalt’s lower upfront cost disguises the higher ongoing maintenance cost it has. Using concrete instead offers durability and a clean, polished look to your property. When installed properly, concrete surfaces such as driveways can last up to 30 years with very little upkeep.
However, without proper care and maintenance, even the strongest concrete driveways can develop cracks over time. Here are some expert tips that every homeowner should know about keeping their concrete driveway functional and beautiful.
Start With Proper Installation
Make sure you use quality materials like a concrete mix with the right proportions of cement, sand, and aggregate. Ensure the driveway is thick enough to support the weight of your cars and any other vehicles or equipment you plan on parking there. Keep the concrete moist for at least a week after pouring to allow it to cure properly by hosing it down or setting up a rotating sprinkler. Rapid drying leads to premature cracking.
You can also create control joints, or intentional cracks, that allow the concrete to expand and contract without causing damage. Depending on the thickness of the slab, control joints should be placed at intervals of 10 feet or less and cut to at least one-quarter of the slab’s thickness to be effective.
Prioritize Regular Maintenance
Seal the surface of your concrete driveway using a premium concrete sealer every two to three years to protect against everyday wear and tear from chemicals, water, and freeze-thaw cycles. Repairing small cracks as soon as they appear prevents them from expanding–an epoxy or concrete patching compound you pick up at a hardware store is ideal for these quick fixes. Using a pressure washer and mild detergent as soon as you see stains or debris on your concrete can also keep your driveway looking its best.
Manage Load And Weight
Your home’s concrete driveway likely isn’t built to accommodate heavy trucks or machinery for extended periods of time, so make sure to keep the load stable as much as possible. If you are going to have larger vehicles or heavy loads on your driveway, you can incorporate steel rebar or wire mesh in the concrete during the construction stage to increase its load-bearing capacity.
Prevent Water Pooling
When it comes to concrete driveway repair, one of the most common challenges is water. Standing water can penetrate the concrete and make the freeze-thaw cycle especially damaging. You can maintain proper drainage by grading the area around the driveway, being strategic about your gutter and downspout runoff, and fixing any low spots where water could tend to pool.
Prepare for Extreme Temperatures
With the unsettled weather patterns of recent years, all parts of the United States are experiencing extreme temperatures. You can help your concrete driveway stay functional by adding expansion joints, which are placed around the perimeter of your slab to accommodate the movement of temperature changes. You can also invest in temporary fabric coverings or even specialized coatings on your driveway to protect it from excessive heat or cold.
Being a conscientious homeowner means taking care of the outside of your home as well as the inside. Adding these tips to your library will improve the appearance and longevity of your driveway, and keep your property safe and welcoming for family and guests alike.
However, even the most well-constructed concrete driveways will eventually fall victim to the elements and wear and tear of everyday living. That’s when it’s time to call in the professionals to help you with concrete driveway repair.
