The Star of the Show: Your Driveway
We reckon driveways are a bit like curtains – pretty important but too often an afterthought. That is, until you’re bumping down your potholed driveway or on a nudie run from bedroom to bathroom, hoping the neighbours aren’t looking! We can’t do anything about your curtains, but we can give you a driveway that’ll take your property from blah to brilliant.
More than mere access from A to B, your driveway has the potential to play a starring role on your property. From basketball to skating or chalk art to outdoor movie nights, once the cars are parked, your driveway can be your playground!
However, for those of us who live life at a more genteel pace, your driveway can also be the red carpet to your home, the catwalk for your wheels, your very own VIP parking spot.
Not just a car corridor, a good driveway can change your life!
Driveway Chic: Styles that Turn Heads (and add Value!)
When kerb appeal counts, your driveway plays an important role in adding value to your property and we’ve got all the tricks for enhancing your home with a swoon-worthy driveway. In fact, why settle for a plain (but perfectly functional) asphalt driveway when we can get creative on your behalf, usually at a cost-effective price point:
Concrete cutting is a firm favourite, with the look of decorative tiles at a fraction of the cost. From borders replicating a high-end Winkelman look to diamond tile patterns, cutting has the potential to add interest and an architectural element to your driveway.
Colour goes a long way and there are numerous tints, additives and sealants we can use to create the wow factor. There are the neutrals – beautiful browns, soft greys and barely-there greens – that subtly elevate your driveway. Or there are sandstone and terracotta tints, colours that pack a bit more punch. We have deep charcoals, bright whites, and for the boldest of clients, we can even make your driveway blush with vintage rose tints!
Of course, texture never goes out of style and we love the timeless look of decorative mixes and exposed aggregate. However, for anyone with champaign taste and a beer budget, the most cost-effective option for texture is a brushed concrete finish. Also known as a broom finish, a brush is dragged across the surface of freshly poured concrete before it fully sets, resulting textured surface that enhances traction.
Importantly, your driveway design should complement the style and architecture of your home and we can support you through this process.
Drainage Drama? Not on Our Watch!
Mat Austin’s said it before and he’ll say it again:
‘Like anything, it’s about having the correct base. Any surface will look good for a period of time, but if the base isn’t good, it’ll fail.’
Because we get the base right, you’ll have peace of mind that your driveway will drain well and stand the test of time.
