A new era in concrete driveway

By James Gray


You may be thinking of a dark black or gray surface that is often cracked, seamed and unappealing whenever you are thinking of a Denver concrete driveway. You can achieve impressive finishing by adding variety to Denver concrete driveways. With everything from replicating paver bricks and flagstone to stamped designs that create a one of a kind look - there is a design option for even the most discriminating Denver homeowner.

In today's Denver real estate market, implementing elements to improve the curb appeal of a Denver home is essential for the homeowner. Putting your own personal stamp on your home gives it the flair to stand out from the rest, even more so if the design of the nearby houses is much like yours. Adding color to your Denver concrete will attract attention.

To analyze the best look for the homeowner a Js Denver concrete professional visits the home. A mix of color is introduced into the concrete after the driveway is prepared for pouring. To replicate stone it can be colored in gray or light brown, for brick it can be colored in burnt orange or dark brown and field stone in a light tan color thus it can be colored often.

There are abundant possible designs that can be used for a concrete driveway in Denver. Finding a Denver contractor who also has artistic skill as well as a generous portfolio is a must before diving into a project. If you would like to personalize your concrete, you can use the technique of acid etching to create designs and lettering. One of the designs a lot of people love is stamping. After pouring the concrete, a stamp is stuck in the mixture, then pushed aside and separated. Appearance of rock salt paver brick replicates, grooved designs, field stones, brick, swirls, circles and squares are some of the common designs in which it can be laid. Stenciling and stamping leave interesting design effects. Custom made logos and initials can be centered in a concrete driveway to create a strong focal point.

It can be expensive to implement custom-made paver brick or stone or carved rock for a driveway. For those on a budget or would rather put their money into other home beauty projects, replicated designs are the way to go, especially when it comes to Denver driveways.

The beauty of concrete is that it is inexpensive and versatile to bring into an outdoor design. Replicated hexagonal pavers made from concrete are a great design element that is perfect for a pristine Denver home. In order to match the outside color of the home, you can add color tint. Driveways in a faux stone molded concrete suggest a European style; they are ideal for a Tuscan-look or Colonial style home.

Exposed aggregate is a popular Denver driveway option for many Denver homeowners. This kind of design can be created by only a specialized contractor. That process means the concrete needs to be poured on the driveway. Designs under the concrete will be apparent once the surface is buffed and polished. What results is an almost marbled surface with a sheen that is sleek. It looks great in many newly constructed Denver homes as well as in exhibit homes as it adds style and substance to the homes.

For a regular Denver concrete driveway, the cost is generally reasonable. A typical concrete driveway measuring 100 by 20 feet will cost somewhere between $2500 and $3000, depending upon some variables. If you desire the concrete to be stenciled or etched, an additional $2500 should be budgeted. The prices can increase as design work and details increase. An affordable alternative to stone or brick is exposed aggregate, which features decorative designs. Know with certainty that Js Custom Concrete will create a gorgeous Denver Driveway, at a cost you can afford!
