The various solutions that one can use for their coloured concrete driveway needs-

1. Using Coloured Stencil Patterns

When renovating your driveway with coloured concrete, the use of coloured stencil patterns is one of the best ways to get your driveway a more sophisticated look on a budget.

This technique involves using a stencil pattern and colour hardener on a freshly poured concrete surface.

We use multiple patterns ranging from Bushrock, Cobblestone, Mudgee stone, Bedrock to Crocrock to name a few design headers and patterns.

2. Oxide Add mix

This technique involves the use of adding coloured pigments/ oxides directly to your concrete before being poured.

Usually, the oxide/pigments are mixed with concrete when they are being loaded into the concrete truck thus given the pigments more time to mix with concrete before being poured on the driveway.

The main advantage of using an Oxide mix is that as it’s mixed with the complete concrete slab you need not worry about colour degeneration even on wear down or minor damages to your driveway.

3.   Spray-On Concrete Resurfacing
