Maintaining your concrete driveway in Lubbock involves: 1) Cleaning regularly with water and mild detergent, 2) Sealing the surface every 2-3 years to protect against moisture and stains, 3) Avoiding deicing salts in winter, as they can damage the concrete, 4) Promptly removing oil or chemical spills, and 5) Checking for cracks and addressing them early. Proper maintenance extends the life and appearance of your driveway.

Concrete offers significant advantages over asphalt for driveways in Lubbock's climate. Concrete typically lasts 30+ years compared to 15-20 years for asphalt, handles extreme temperature fluctuations better with less softening in summer heat, provides better resistance to the chemicals and salt used during winter months, offers more design options, and generally adds more value to your property. While concrete has a higher initial cost than asphalt, its longer lifespan and lower maintenance requirements typically make it more economical over time.
