"I recently had the pleasure of working with Sensible Home Products to install a patio in my backyard, and I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with the results. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and exceeded my expectations in every way. Of course I shouldn't have been surprised because five years ago they completely transformed the outside of my house, including siding, windows, gutters, doors, lights and garage doors, and the result was simply stunning. First and foremost, Jeremy, the owner of Sensible Home Products was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He took the time to listen to my ideas and visions, and then provided expert guidance and suggestions to enhance the design. His attention to detail and commitment to delivering a high-quality product was evident from the very beginning. The installation crew was punctual, efficient, and respectful of my property. They worked diligently to ensure that every aspect of the patio was installed flawlessly. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were truly remarkable. The team paid attention to even the smallest details, resulting in a patio that is not only beautiful but is built to last. The final result of the patio is absolutely stunning. It has completely transformed my backyard into a functional and inviting space. The quality of the materials used is top notch, and the design perfectly compliments the overall aesthetic of my home. I have received numerous compliments from friends and neighbors, all of whom are impressed with the craftsmanship and attention to detail. Overall, I cannot recommend Sensible Home Products enough. Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to customer satisfaction are truly commendable. If you are looking to enhance any aspect of the outside of your home, look no further than Sensible Home Products. They will exceed your expectations and deliver products that you will enjoy for years to come."

Think of cement as the glue and concrete as the finished product. Cement is a powdered mix of heated limestone and clay. When you blend that powder with water, sand, and gravel, it hardens into concrete—the strong, durable material used for driveways, patios, and foundations. In other words, every concrete slab contains cement, but cement on its own isn’t strong enough for a driveway.
The price to install an asphalt driveway is $7 to $13 per square foot, slightly less than concrete. However, asphalt requires more maintenance than concrete and does not last as long. This shortened lifespan and increased need for maintenance make concrete a more economical choice in the long term, but ultimately, the choice is up to each consumer.
Most residential driveways do fine with a four‑inch slab. If you’ll park heavy trucks or RVs, bumping up to six or even eight inches adds strength and wards off cracks. Thicker concrete costs more up front, but it can save you repair bills later by standing up to bigger loads and freeze‑thaw stress.
Concrete driveways and asphalt driveways differ in material composition and performance. A concrete driveway is engineered for lasting durability and versatile design options, while an asphalt driveway is more economical initially, yet demands increased maintenance over time. Concrete surfaces provide extensive aesthetic choices and an extended lifespan, making them a strong investment for high-traffic areas.
A concrete driveway endures for 25 to 30 years with proper maintenance and installation. A concrete driveway lasts long because its durable composition and robust construction provide excellent resistance to wear and weather. High-quality installation, regular cleaning, and timely sealing all contribute to extending its lifespan and maintaining performance over decades.
