Driveway concreting comes in many options such as plain concrete, coloured concrete and decorative concrete.
Driveways in plain concrete usually is a more practical option. A driveway in plain concrete is the traditional look. Plain concrete is also optioned to create a minimalist look for modern homes.
Driveways are also available in a wide range of concrete colours. Usually to match the colour scheme of your home. It makes such a difference to your home aesthetically and it improves the overall presentation of your home.
Concreting a drive with colour concrete is where the colour is pre-mixed into the concrete. The colour is added to the concrete before it is delivered onsite. There is no need to add additional colour during pouring. Colour concreting with this method is a good option as the colour is all the way thru the concrete. This ensures the longevity of the colour.
Colour concreting is great as you get to pick a colour for your driveway for a custom look. The concrete colour chosen can emphasis the driveway or can highlight your home. These are usually the main two considerations and can assist in deciding which colour to choose for your driveway.
The chosen concrete colour is ordered specifically for your driveway prior to pouring. At Concreting Sydney we have a large range of colours to choose from to get the right look for your home.
Building driveways is usually associated with concreters who have many years of experience in the industry. Driveways have many types of concrete construction and finishing methods. For complete driveway implementation, an experience concreter professional can incorporate many structural, practical and decorative concrete options.
Combining these elements creates unique driveway results tailored to suit your property. Driveway design is flexible. It achieves a custom end result as you can include as many concrete design elements as needed.
Concrete for your driveway can incorporate other features on your property. Designs tends to suit the characteristics of your land. It can also include designing concrete to complement your garden. Creating a flower bed around a driveway adds an architectural element and is one of many ideas that you can include.
The concrete for the driveway acts as a garden bed. The driveway edge eliminates the need to box up a garden bed with timber. This creates a cleaner garden bed look. Plants are more prominent as they can be landscaped to match with the level of the drive.
Garden beds for plants are usually located near the front door to soften the entrance. Another commonplace for a driveway edge gap is along the fence line. A concrete edge works well along a sunny fence line as most plants like a sunny position to grow. A driveway edge plays an important part to differentiate different landscape elements.
A concrete driveway edge provides an outline for your lawn. The edge stops your lawn spreading to other parts of the garden. A concrete edge gives your lawn its own space for it to grow and this helps create a robust lawn. It also speeds up mowing time.
A concrete edge acts as a border so you are only cutting the lawn with the mower. The edge can be designed to be higher or lower than your lawn cutting height. Most people preference the edge to be a little higher than the lawn cutting height. A driveway edge built this way helps keep dirt off the concrete drive. This is especially the case during wet weather. It is a simple and effective barrier.
During construction, the layout is marked out to build the body of the drive. A benefit of building with concrete is that the layout of the driveway can be changed during the construction phase. We can reposition the layout onsite so you can decide what works best.
This is part of the personalised building experience that you get with concrete. Driveways are built to suit your property and lifestyle needs. As the majority of the building process is onsite, concrete gives you a high level of customisation compared with other materials.
Style-wise, concrete driveways tend to be built to suit and enhance the appearance of homes. Driveways vary greatly from one home to another and usually address site-specific needs. Driveways are sometimes influenced by the nature of the land it is built on. Most of the time concrete driveways are influenced by the prominent colours on your home.
