Concrete Driveway Styles

Updated: Mar 24, 2021

Stamped Concrete Driveways

Concrete is placed, with the color integral in the mix or "dusted on" at the job, then stamped. A wide variety of patterns are available to emulate bricks, stones, pavers, or flagstone.

Colored Concrete Driveways

A wide variety of colors are available. Colors are often chosen to match stone or other elements around the home. Colors are often combined with stamped concrete. Concrete colors are either added to the concrete at the ready mix plant, or "dusted on" at the project site.

Concrete Engraving

While concrete engraving is often done on existing driveways- it produces a look like elaborate brickwork at a fraction of the cost. So a plain gray driveway can be poured, then stained and engraved to look like brick.

Stained Concrete Driveways

Chemical stains penetrate the concrete surface to create beautiful color tones in existing concrete. Stains react directly with the concrete's minerals and produce uneven, mottled, and variegated color effects. Chemical stains can be used for both interior and exterior applications and are often used on concrete that had already been colored integrally or with the dry shake method.

Exposed Aggregate Finishes

3/8" colorful pebbles are placed in the concrete at the plant or "seeded" into the concrete at the jobsite. At the right time during the finishing operation, the top layer of cement paste is washed off the surface leaving the tops of the pebbles exposed.
