When was the last time that you closely examined the condition of your driveway? While often taken for granted, the fact of the matter is that these surfaces are required to endure a massive amount of wear and tear. This is why they will need to be replaced from time to time.
Stone Made Drives was recently contacted by a client in Burnley in regard to a driveway that had certainly seen better days. The original concrete slabs had become discoloured and some were uneven; leading to potential drainage issues. After our hassle-free consultation concluded, we presented the homeowner with several surfacing options. Let us take a look at why they opted for imprinted concrete as well as how the entire driveway was transformed in no time at all.
The Benefits of Imprinted Concrete
Common driveway surfaces include tarmac, block paving stones and gravel. However, the use of imprinted concrete is becoming quite popular in these modern times. Here are some of the benefits that customers can expect to leverage:
- A nearly limitless number of patterns can be created.
- The tone of the concrete can be adjusted to match nearby elements (such as the exterior of a home).
- Concrete is a very low-maintenance solution.
- The installation process is straightforward.
- This style will increase the kerb appeal of any property.
We should still mention that a significant portion of this project included preparatory steps (such as removing the existing paving slabs and levelling the subsurface). The imprinted concrete was then poured into place and allowed to sufficiently cure.
A Job Well Done
While this imprinted surface immediately grabs the attention of onlookers, we chose to include additional elements of a more practical nature. Our team installed a series of drainage channels in order to prevent water from pooling during periods of intense rain. The periphery of the driveway was likewise punctuated with the inclusion of edging blocks; helping to visually tie the entire area together.
Thanks to more than 25 years of industry-leading experience, this project was completed in a flawless fashion. Note that customers can also choose from a host of additional options if they are less than satisfied with the condition of their driveway. The best way to begin is to give us a call.
