Pattern imprinted concrete comes in a massive array of colours and patterns to make each seperate, driveway totally unique. The finished surface is 25-30% stronger than traditional concrete and virtually maintenance-free. The surface is sealed to repel dirt, stains, weeds and plant growth.

The driveway is laid on a substantial sub-base to eliminate cracks, sagging and susidance. There are also hidden expansion joints to allow the finished concrete to move freely in the extremes of hot and cold. The driveways are truly built to last a lifetime and whenever they are resealed that immediatel take on that 'just laid' appearance.

This Bromley Cross driveway was laid in five distinct phases.

First the survey levels were checked to ensure the falls were correct and any rain water would run away from the house! If not deco drain or aco drain must be installed to preserve the property from damp.

There was the excavation of the area for the new surface and the laying of the sub-base. This is of identical material used in the construction of roads and motorways. The drainage was installed and new manholes set.

The concrete was poured, levelled and coloured. A secondary colour covers the area for two reasons: one is aesthetic; the other is to protect the print. As the pattern imprint is set when wet, so the release preserves the print when the mats are lifted and the unique pattern is imprinted.

Expansion joints were installed on a return visit.

You can see a decorative circle impressed in the concrete and an unusual inset flowerbed.

Finally the driveway was sealed and cleaned. This gives a lasting finish and completed the trasformation of the property.

The colour and pattern of the driveway is permanent and this can be cleaned and resealed at any time to give that 'just laid' appearance. .
