5 Creative concrete ideas for driveways and walkways

1. Ashler slate with cream border

Durable, stain and oil resistance, slate pattern pave is achieved by stamping slate textured mats into newly poured concrete which has been coloured and trowelled. In this example a brick edge stamp (that looks like a tile) was chosen to frame the stamped concrete paving and match the house colour and style, lightening the overall look of the driveway. Contrasting stamped concrete works well together without the weeds!

2. Coloured concrete combinations

This is an example of how you can use coloured concrete to create sections on a driveway with pattern pave (stamped concrete), creating dimension and interest and being cost effective at the same time.

3. Tiled borders on exposed aggregate

For this contemporary home, exposed aggregate was laid in the driveway and we used a tiled border in matching tones to the house but contrasting to the exposed aggregate mix. The border creates an attractive and subtle frame for the driveway.

4. Coloured concrete borders on slate pattern pave

On this walkway which swept around this commercial office, we discussed a few ideas to suit the building and decided on decorative concrete paving. The client chose a slate stamped pattern pave with a coloured concrete border to the lawn.

5. Coloured concrete and exposed aggregate combinations

This is one of our commercial developments along Adelaide’s coastline. In the middle of the pathway we laid coloured concrete and we added a wide border of exposed aggregate concrete. In consultation with the council we chose colours and textures that matched the tones of the seaside.
