CONCRETE DRIVEWAYS INSTALLED THROUGHOUT MELBOURNE

One area of renovations that is often overlooked is that of the driveway. Homeowners take great pride in the exterior of their home. A concrete driveway has become a crucial aspect of a landscaping plan that gives an inviting image. The driveway is the welcome mat to your home.

Concrete’s great range of colour, texture or patterns offers up a wide variety of design options. This allows you to create something unique. A concrete driveway is highly durable and will require little maintenance. A well constructed concrete driveway will last for around 30 years.

COLOURED CONCRETE
The simple use of colour allows your driveway to complement your home and its features. You may choose to have colour on the concrete where colour is trowlled into the surface or integral colour where the colour is added at the mixing plant. Both options produce great results.

STAMPED IMPRESSION
This is the decorative effect where concrete is given the appearance, colour and feel of slate, tile, stone or brick.

EXPOSED AGGREGATE
The upper layer of the concrete is washed away to expose select river stones or crushed quarry rocks. If you are after something soft underfoot then a river stone mix would be the way to go. Or for something with more traction a crushed rock aggregate.

Along with the aggregate the colour of the cement can also be customized to fit your home.

GRIND AND SEAL
The top layer of the concrete is grinded away revealing a smooth surface, showing off any aggregates that are within. This can be a simple grind or a premium polish.

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
Resealing is the most common form of maintenance for a concrete driveway. This will breathe life into a dull driveway and improve its resistance to the elements. A non slip sealer is an option.

Colour can be enhanced with a coloured sealer. Or for a complete colour change a pavecoat can be applied. This works especially well on old Stamped Impression driveways.
