Why Your Concrete Looks Old (and How to Fix It)
Your driveway or patio might seem solid and permanent, but concrete weathers just like any other outdoor surface. Over time, dirt, algae, vehicle traffic, and weathering can leave it looking dull, stained, or even unsafe.
What Ages Concrete So Quickly?
Several factors contribute to the worn look of driveways and sidewalks:
Algae and Mold Growth – Creates dark, slippery patches.
Oil and Rust Stains – Penetrate the porous surface.
Freeze-Thaw Cycles – Cause small cracks that trap dirt.
UV Fading – Makes surfaces look older than they are.
These issues don’t just affect appearance—they can shorten the life of your concrete if ignored.
