Driveways
There’s a reason that concrete is the most popular material for driveways. It’s long-lasting and durable, it looks fantastic, it doesn’t require a lot of maintenance, and it is an affordable choice. Baker Enterprises, Inc Concrete and Excavation has poured hundreds of concrete driveways for Iowa homes and businesses. Our team of knowledgeable and experienced concrete workers can handle your driveway project from beginning to end.

Why Concrete Driveways?
There are a couple of reasons why our customers choose concrete driveways. If you’re on the fence and thinking about going with pavers, gravel, or asphalt instead, here are some reasons why concrete is the superior choice:
- Durable—Concrete is more durable than some of the other driveway material choices. It can hold heavy loads, it doesn’t get potholes or ruts, and it can easily last for 25 to 50 years with the right installation and maintenance!
- Low maintenance—While cleaning and sealing will help your concrete driveway to last longer, in general, concrete doesn’t require much maintenance.
- Looks attractive—Nothing beats the clean, crisp lines of a concrete driveway against your lawn.
- Easy to remove snow—Many of our rural customers make the switch from gravel to concrete to make it easier to plow snow in the winter.
- Great for children—Your kids or grandkids can ride their bikes and draw with sidewalk chalk on a concrete driveway. You can’t say the same for all the other materials.
