How Do You Increase Traction On A Concrete Driveway?
Increasing traction on a concrete driveway is best done during the finishing process, right after the driveway has been poured. By choosing a finishing process that increases the non-slip nature of the driveway, you can make the surface provide more resistance, increasing its traction for both foot and vehicle traffic. While working with a freshly poured slab is preferable, you can increase traction even on older driveways, layering the driveway with additives that can increase the traction greatly. Pour the driveway slab and strike off the surface with a screed, dragging the wooden stick along the surface to level it. Use a bull float on the surface to smooth it and pull moisture to the top. Wait for the water to evaporate. Run a concrete broom along the surface of the concrete to raise a rough texture on the surface. Pull the broom toward you, perpendicular to the slope of the driveway. The rough texture created by the broom increases the traction of the concrete. Cure the concrete s
