Quick facts
- Best results start with a stable, clean substrate
- Drainage and existing cracks should be assessed before application
- Main-and-border colour combinations can define the driveway
- Vehicle areas need careful preparation and application
Assess the existing driveway
A decorative surface finish will follow the condition of the base below it. Loose concrete, severe cracks, contamination and drainage problems should be addressed before installation rather than covered over.
Design with borders
Using one colour as the field and another as a border can frame the driveway or distinguish parking zones and steps. The border should be simple enough to install cleanly and should suit the shape of the space.
Plan quantities from the measured area
Measure the complete surface, including side strips and entrances. At approximately 25–30 sq ft per package, a conservative area calculation helps reduce the risk of running short during application.
Keep access in mind
Driveway work affects vehicle access while the surface is being prepared, applied and allowed to set. Installation timing should therefore be coordinated with the household before work starts.
Frequently asked questions
Can it go over old concrete?
Potentially, if the concrete is stable and properly prepared. The condition should be assessed first.
Can I use two colours on a driveway?
Yes. Contrasting borders are a common design option, subject to stock.
How do I calculate materials?
Measure the square footage and divide by the expected 25–30 sq ft coverage per package, then allow for whole packages and site conditions.
