"They finished the driveway in two days and the surface came out level and smooth. After two winters it still looks the same as day one - no cracking, no heaving. That was the main thing I was worried about."
Mark T., Oshkosh - Concrete driveway building
"We had a clay soil problem in the backyard that three other contractors glossed over. This crew actually dug deeper and added more base material before the pour. The patio has drained perfectly every spring since."
Sandra L., Neenah - Concrete patio construction
"The stamped concrete on our front walkway looks exactly like the sample they showed us - the color stayed consistent and the pattern lines are clean. We get comments on it every summer."

Concrete should not be poured when temperatures are expected to drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit within 24 hours of the pour. In Fond du Lac, that rules out most of November through March. Pouring in cold conditions without protective measures weakens the final slab permanently.
Freeze-thaw cycles are the main culprit. Water seeps into tiny surface pores, freezes, expands, and forces those pores wider. The Portland Cement Association notes that sealing concrete surfaces every few years is one of the most effective ways to break this cycle.

In most cases, yes. The City of Fond du Lac requires permits for new driveway construction and for flatwork that changes how water drains off your property. A legitimate contractor handles this paperwork for you - if they suggest skipping the permit, that is a warning sign.
If cracks are wider than a quarter-inch, sections have shifted unevenly, or the surface is spalling across a large area, repair is usually a short-term fix. A full replacement made sense when the damage is widespread and the underlying base has moved - which is common in driveways more than 30 years old.
The gravel or crushed stone base under a concrete slab does most of the structural work. A poorly compacted base lets the slab sink, crack, or heave regardless of how good the concrete mix is. Proper base preparation is where the difference between a 10-year slab and a 40-year slab is made.
Concrete typically outlasts asphalt in Wisconsin's climate by a wide margin - 30 to 50 years versus 10 to 20 for asphalt. Concrete is not affected by summer heat softening and handles freeze-thaw conditions well when built correctly. The higher upfront cost usually works out to a lower cost over the life of the driveway. The University of Minnesota Extension covers this comparison in their residential driveway guide at extension.umn.edu.

Recurring cracks after winter usually mean the base underneath has shifted or the original slab was not built for Wisconsin's freeze-thaw conditions. Patching buys time, but a full replacement with the right base is often the better long-term investment.
Yes - and every two to three years after that. Sealing keeps moisture out of the surface pores. In Fond du Lac, that moisture freezes in winter and causes spalling. Sealing is the single most cost-effective maintenance step for outdoor concrete.
Avoid rock salt (sodium chloride) - it accelerates surface damage on concrete. Sand provides traction without chemical damage. Calcium chloride or magnesium chloride are less harmful alternatives if you need a melting agent.

Fond du Lac sits at the southern tip of Lake Winnebago, the largest inland lake in Wisconsin, and is home to about 43,000 residents. The city is grounded in manufacturing - most notably Mercury Marine, one of the world's largest outboard motor makers, which has been headquartered here since 1939. Long-term homeowners make up a large share of the population, and they invest in maintaining properties they plan to keep for decades.
A large portion of Fond du Lac's housing stock was built before World War II, with many homes dating to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Neighborhoods near Lakeside Park feature Victorian and Craftsman-style homes on modest city lots, many with original foundations that have seen eight or nine decades of Wisconsin winters. Postwar ranch-style homes fill the south and west sides of the city. Both building types share the same challenge - concrete driveways, sidewalks, and foundations that have been through hundreds of freeze-thaw cycles and need either serious repair or full replacement.
The proximity to Lake Winnebago brings lake-effect moisture and wind that accelerate wear on exterior surfaces. Clay-heavy glacial soils throughout the city hold water longer than sandy ground, meaning proper drainage design is not optional - it is part of every job we do here. Whether your home is near the waterfront or out on the newer subdivisions on the city's edges,Fond du Lac Concrete brings the same standards to every project.
