Concrete Driveway Design Options

Traditional Grey Concrete Driveway 
Traditional grey concrete driveways are the most common design option that homeowners choose. As far as driveway costs go, it is typically the least expensive driveway option, but it looks great and is extremely durable. A broom finish is applied to the surface to help ensure good traction. Control joints are either tooled into the concrete during the finishing process or saw cut in after the driveway has cured. A sealer is also applied to help with durability. The process to remove and install the new concrete driveway can take as little as one day so you can avoid the hassle of not being able to use it for weeks on end.

Grey Concrete Driveway with a Decorative Concrete Border
Grey concrete driveways with a decorative concrete boarder are a great option for homeowners who want to add a more design focused element to their driveway. It's a great option to add some great curb appeal, and works especially well with a decorative concrete walkway and concrete step in the front of the house. The border is typically installed at the same time as the grey concrete driveway, so there's no added time to the project. There are a wide variety of options for border designs. Staining or stamped and color concrete are most common.

Stamped Concrete Driveway 
Stamped concrete driveways are ideal for homeowners who really want to bring in beauty and elegance to their home's exterior. There are endless options for stamp patterns and concrete colors. You can go with a consistent color and stamp pattern throughout the entire driveway, or pick a main color and stamp pattern with a complementary color and stamp pattern boarder. Stamped concrete driveways are just as durable as traditional grey concrete, but will give you the ability to compliment the aesthetics of your home's exterior.

Concrete VS Asphalt and Driveway PaversWhen deciding on replacing your driveway there are many different options for materials that you can select from. Most commonly homeowners in Minnesota choose concrete, asphalt or pavers for their new driveway. When selecting which material is best for you, make sure to consider the benefits of each.
When it comes to durability and longevity, concrete is going to last the longest and handle the most use. Concrete also has the most design options, and can be custom designed to fit your individual wants and needs. The cost of installing a blacktop driveway is comparable to a traditional grey concrete driveway, and the cost of installing a paver driveway is going to be comparable to stamped concrete. |
