Driveways & Surfacing
Decorative Concrete
Across Peterborough, Spalding & Lincolnshire, and Bath, with a 20-year guarantee on every job.
Decorative concrete gives you the look of natural stone, brick or cobbles in one continuous, sealed surface with no joints for weeds to grow through. Pattern imprinted concrete is laid wet, then stamped with textured mats and colour-hardened, so a single pour can mimic riven slate, cobble setts or block paving at a fraction of the upkeep.
The difference between a decorative drive that lasts decades and one that cracks and fades is all in the base, the reinforcement and the curing. We excavate to the right depth, lay a reinforced sub-base, pour to the correct thickness, then imprint, colour and seal. Stencilled concrete and acid-stained finishes are available too.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a decorative concrete driveway cost?
It is priced by area, pattern and base condition. Over a large driveway it often works out cheaper than block paving once you factor in the groundwork. The survey is free and the written quote is fixed, with excavation and sealing included.
Does pattern imprinted concrete crack?
Properly laid concrete has control joints cut into it so any movement happens along hidden lines, not as random cracks. The reinforcement and correct thickness we use are what prevent the failures you see on cheaper jobs. It carries our 20-year guarantee.
Does it need maintenance?
Very little. An occasional rinse keeps it clean, and re-sealing every few years keeps the colour fresh and the surface protected. We also re-seal and recolour existing decorative concrete that has faded.
