5 Tips for a Stunning Decorative Concrete Driveway

Have you been dreaming about a stunning, one-of-a-kind design for your driveway that beautifully sets your home apart from all the others? Decorative Concrete is being used by homeowners everywhere to create the perfect pièce de résistance for their home. At Unique-Crete Designs, we love helping our clients make their design dreams come true. Take a look at the five tips we’ve provided below:

1. USE A MIX OF PATTERNS OR FINISHES
Employ variation by using two different patterns or finishes in your custom concrete driveway design to create dramatic interest.

2. CHOOSE BOLD COLOR
Color is a powerful towel in generating visual appeal. If coloring the entire driveway is more than you can manage, select specific spots to highlight.

3. DIRECT THE EYE WITH A FOCAL POINT
Choose your focal point, and craft your design to clearly direct the eye. You can incorporate the intersecting points of your driveway to effectively achieve this. Favorite designs for your focal point include the compass rose, logos, monograms, family crests, address numbers, or shapes with varying stamped patterns.

4. PLAY WITH PATTERNS
There are so many different patterns to choose from! You can incorporate bold geometric shapes to make a statement, or select something a bit demure for a casual look. While  you’re at it, why not finish off your design with an attractive bordered edge?

5. INTEGRATE YOUR DESIGN INTO THE CONTROL JOINTS
In this picture, typically square control joints are instead created in an interesting pattern of geometric shapes that make up the featured design of this driveway.

This is just a small sampling of what can be accomplished with decorative concrete. For more ideas about how to create a stunning custom concrete driveway of your own without the high-end price tag, contact  Unique-Crete Designs at 615-881-6694 today, or click HERE to get a free estimate!
