Concrete Driveway
Spacer
Gone are the days where you had gravel or pebble driveways. Today, concrete driveways are growing more in popularity and many people are looking towards texture stained driveways as an alternative to paved driveways made with brick, stone pavers or natural stone. These stained driveways provide a very good looking and low maintenance solution while giving the appearance of a paving or pebbles.

Why choose a Concrete Driveway?

A driveway paved with bricks, while hardwearing and attractive, can be very costly due to the amount of materials and labor required. Stone driveways are also hardwearing but are high-maintenance due to the need to re-apply a top-grade sealer regularly to protect the stones, thus making them costly. Concrete has now become the most popular driveway material. It's hardwearing, weather resistant and easy to maintain. You can have a myriad finishes including acid stained concrete patterns, pebble and stone patterns, as well as customized colors. You will also need to apply a sealer to concrete but much less regularly than stones. So, you can see that concrete is the most attractive and easiest to maintain driveway surface, with the most variety of options available.

Solid Beauty
Spacer
From cobblestone to flagstone or ancient Roman tiles, paving stones come in scores of shapes and colors to create exactly the right personality for your home. Other paving materials, such as brick, asphalt or stamped concrete, may crack chip or fade. Paving stones won't. In fact, they're proven to be several times stronger than poured concrete and are an excellent choice for patios, driveways, retaining walls and pool areas. Download a When installed properly, paving stones can offer a lifetime of enjoyment. Our workmanship, and the stones we install, are guaranteed. You can choose from multiple colors and installation design. Paving stones, however, are sometimes twice as costly as regular cement.
Our Installation Process:

1. We remove the existing surface down 9 1/2" to 11 1/2"
2. Then we install 6"-8" of crushed aggregate base to create a firm but flexible foundation.
3. Next we add a 1" layer of bedding sand. 4. Individual Paving Stones are then placed by hand into the bedded sand, to ensure a perfect fit. Then a plate vibrator is passed over the stones, locking them into place
5. Finally, a layer of sand is swept over the Paving Stones. We pass the plate vibrator over the surface a second time, forcing the sand into the joints from the top. This completes the permanent interlocking process. We also place our unique concrete bond beams to protect the Paving Stones from shifting.
