Your driveway is a standout feature in your front yard. A concrete driveway,
whether plain or patterned, makes a distinct impression. Concrete is a preferred
driveway material because concrete requires very low maintenance and it is a
versatile and durable material. Best of all, concrete can be designed to meet a
homeowner ’s exact needs.
A concrete driveway is part of a home’s overall landscaping plan. A concrete
driveway imparts an inviting image and because concrete is such a versatile
construction material, your creativity is the only limit on your concrete
driveway design options.
Practical Concrete
Concrete is a cost-effective, functional and beautiful construction material.
Decorative accents in the concrete driveway can make a huge impact on the look
of the front of your home. In fact, concrete can be made to appear like brick,
slate, tile or stone. Concrete can be painted, acid-stained or texturized. In
addition, concrete can have a variety of finishes, including exposed aggregate.
Furthermore, concrete driveways are trouble-free and can last a lifetime without
needing any major maintenance work.
The Beauty of a Concrete Driveway
A concrete driveway can last 20 to 30 years if the concrete is properly laid.
The concrete needs to be at least 75 mm thick and 2.75 meters wide and in
square, or nearly square, panels. Water should run off the driveway and have
proper drainage along the side.
