Concrete Driveways

The term concrete driveways use to conjure the idea of a simple grey driveway covered in oil stains. Now, however, the options have changed. The new designs, decorations, stains, and patterns used on concrete driveways at present offer an affordable means of turning what was once a simple grey slab into a fashionable and chic driveway with the appearance of other natural stones or wood.

The curb appeal availability with concrete designs will enhance the value of any home. With coastal style homes, the exterior concrete driveway serves not only as a means of elevation, but needs to be able to withstand high winds and salty air. Lower maintenance with high durability are key, with concrete staining in blues or beige most suitable. Stamped concrete flatwork can create patterns that appear like flagstone.

Country homes, cabins, or farmhouses are often accented with rustic appeals desperately seeking natural wood or stone materials to match. Warmer browns, reds, and forest greens, combined with stamped patterns which appear like slate are most suitable. Spanish-style homes are best suited for concrete which can withstand and insult against sun. Stamp patterns or stencil patterns added to the concrete driveway offer complimentary colors combined with tile and flagstone appearances.

No matter what the style of your home, the concrete driveway can be utilized through a plethora of decorative styles of exposed aggregate, textured finishes, or even stamped patterns. Engraving and etching use special tools to engrave upon the concrete you already have. While overlays and stamps are a viable option, engraving is permanent, carved into the concrete instead of applied on top. Chemical stains are a chemical reaction with the minerals contained in the concrete, creating a varied colorful effect. Whether used in conjunction with staining or stamping, or on its own, concrete driveways can also be enhanced through saw-cutting patterns, diagonal lines, or squares.

No matter which option is selected to enhance your concrete driveways, maintenance is priority when it comes to the durability of your choice. Cleaning the driveway is necessary on occasion. By resealing your driveway every two years, you can protect against wear, vehicle traffic damage, and weather damage.
