What maintenance does concrete require?
A plain concrete driveway shouldn’t require any maintenance. Yes, over time, the surface of the concrete will wear off exposing the aggregate underneath. That’s not necessarily a problem. Nevertheless, if you want to prevent erosion of the concrete surface, then apply a concrete sealer. Concrete sealer not only protects the surface of the cement from wearing off over time, but sealing will also provide a barrier to oil and other stains as well. Be aware that once you seal concrete the first time, you will have to continue to do so every one to two years to maintain the protective coating. The colors and texture in stamped concrete require you to maintain a coat of sealer to protect and maintain its beauty.
