When you want a versatile, low-maintenance paving option for your outdoor surfaces, consider pattern imprinted concrete. This type of paving offers a vast amount of styles and colors to complement your home and create a beautiful looking driveway at a similar cost to block paving and natural stone block paving.

Pattern imprinted Concrete gives you many choices when it comes to design. Whether you prefer the look of stone or cobbles, brick or tile, it can be applied to your project for a unique and beautiful finish. Pattern imprinted concrete may also be used to create curves and shapes to accent your outdoor area and form a space you’ll enjoy spending time in.

For surfaces such as driveways that require durability, pattern imprinted concrete can be a better choice than some other paving options. When professionally laid and sealed, it has the strength to stand the test of time and weather. Only light maintenance is required to prevent cracks or wear and keep it looking its best.

Our installations are superior to most other systems due to their unique qualities:

  • Frost resistant, water impervious & totally weed free.
  • Fibre mesh reinforcement throughout the concrete which bonds the driveway together.
  • All concrete is QSRMC (Quality Scheme for Ready Mixed Concrete) through the National Accreditation of Certificated Bodies and adheres to a quality system in accordance with BS5750 Part 1.
  • A choice of 24 colour hardeners making the surface six times more wear resistant then standard concrete.
  • A vast range of patterns – cobblestones, brick, tile, slate, stone etc.
  • A special sealant is applied to seal in the colour and prevent oil stains.

Specifications for installation

  • Excavate up to 200mm and remove all waste materials from site
  • Lay 100mm of Type 1 granular sub base and compact

Even whimsical garden paths can be laid with pattern imprinted concrete.

The addition of modern shapes to the paving design makes for a more visually eclectic outdoor space.
