Acid stained concrete driveways<\/span><\/a> will surely be beneficial. This will transform your driveways into eye-catching pavements.<\/p>\nUsing Stamped Overlays<\/h3>\n
A stamped overlay is another easy way of transforming your driveway into a more attractive and textured driveway. Stamped overlays give your driveway the look of having a lot of natural stones placed side by side with each other. You can still install stamped overlays in your existing driveway using a two-part process.<\/p>\n
First, pour a thin layer of new concrete over the existing one. Stamp your overlay designs into the still-wet concrete. Repeat the process until all the driveway is covered with the pattern. There are a lot of stamp patterns to choose from, and you can purchase them at different decorative concrete supplies stores.<\/p>\n
Using Knockdowns<\/h3>\n
Knockdown uses an acrylic concrete coating that is sprayed in random patterns onto existing concrete pavements. After the application, a trowel is used to “knock down” to level the high points of the sprayed concrete to produce a slip-resistant surface.<\/p>\n
The advantage of a knockdown concrete pavement is that the increased surface area produced makes the pavement less slippery and, therefore, safer.<\/p>\n
Trowel On<\/h3>\n
Trowel on is a technique of creating additional texture to your pavement by adding a thin layer of water-resistant concrete to your existing pavement and creating ripple-stone patterns using the trowel. If you are artistic and skillful enough, you can add different colours to different batches of new concrete to get a multiple-coloured pavement.<\/p>\n
Painted<\/h3>\n
The least amount of effort that you can transform your old driveway into a decorative one is to paint over it. You can choose different colours for your driveway, depending on your sense of style.<\/p>\n
However, it is best to consult with professionals from decorative concrete supplies stores about the type of concrete paint that will be effective for your driveway.<\/p>\n
If you think that your existing driveway does not match the overall appeal of your home, then do something about it. Transform your pavement into a decorative concrete driveway.<\/p>\n
