The options for how to design your driveway have come a long way from the standard grey concrete, with coloured concrete growing in popularity.
With plenty of different colours to choose from, and its ability to be stamped with designs, coloured concrete driveways have become the choice for people who are looking for an affordable alternative to honed concrete and exposed aggregate applications.
At Terrastone Architectural Concrete, we offer a fully inclusive service for your coloured concrete project.
From choosing the right colour for your driveway to the final clean up, our team of professionals will be there every step of the way.
We’re dedicated to creating decorative concrete applications that are of the highest standards and that will fit the vision of every client.
Thinking about adding colour on your concrete driveway? Here are a few questions and tips before you decide on the right colour for your concrete project.
Rather than using the same colour for your driveway and pathways, why not break them up with complimentary concrete colours?
The use of the same colour can create an ordinary look, whereas using multiple colours to break up your driveway can add depth and style. This also works great if you have a very large, long driveway!
While you may be inclined to choose a colour that is popular now, is it still going to be fashionable in 5 years time?
When selecting the aggregate concrete driveway colours, make sure you are selecting a pigment that you are going to enjoy for years to come. Unlike paint, concrete is a lot more difficult (and expensive) to change later.
If your new coloured concrete driveway will get a lot of sun, go with lighter over darker colours. Concrete is known for absorbing heat, and with our harsh Perth climate, it can make it uncomfortable to walk across.
We recommend choosing vivid, not dark tones that will make it pop the sun, rather than wash it out.
Make sure to choose complimentary colours to the style and colour of your home exterior, rather than ones that match.
For example, if your home is a new contemporary style home that is painted a blue shade, look at softer grey tones or even a cream colour to make your outdoor space more eye catching.
With a variety of finishes, colours, and virtually limitless concrete choices, we can create a driveway that makes your home the envy of the neighbourhood.
Engaging us as your concrete contractor is as exciting for us as it is for you. We take on every project with energy and passion that resonates in the quality of our work.
