Levelling and colouring patterned concrete

You can see the levelling process that ensures the concrete is perfectly laid.

The colouring is then spread over the freshly laid concrete so that it is permanently absorbed for the life of the installation.

If you thought that concrete drives were grey and ugly, you need to check out how using coloured imprinted concrete can transform the look and feel of your home.

Patterned imprinted concrete driveways allow you to get a perfect look for your driveway whatever design you want. There is a wide range of colours available and unlike other options these don't fade over time. The colours are totally UV resistant so they won't change colour - the design and colour you choose today will still look the same for years to come.

Imprinted concrete driveways are an affordable way to improve the external look of your house whether you're planning to sell your house or stay there for years to come.

Popular concrete driveway patterns include rustic brick, English slate or even cobblestones. The pattern is stamped into the concrete giving a realistic finish without the imperfections that are found in natural materials.

Because the concrete colours are applied to the concrete whilst it is drying, you can choose the colour that precisely matches your vision for your driveway and blends perfectly into the overall design of your home, enhancing its value.

Unlike traditional bricks, paving slabs, tarmac or gravel, a pattern imprinted concrete driveway has no gaps for weeds to grow through. It doesn't dip over time either and there are no individual blocks to come loose or break.

Unlike gravel, there are no loose stones to spread out onto the road or get traipsed into the house.

This makes patterned concrete a low maintenance driveway option that will last for many years to come. Check out the picture of a driveway laid 18 years ago that is still looking as good as the day it was laid: http://www.traditionalpaving.co.uk/key-advantages.html
