DECORATIVE CONCRETE RESURFACING

A spray-on or stencilled overlay laid straight over the slab you have already got. You pick the pattern — slate, ashlar, brick, tile — and the colour, and a tired grey driveway comes back looking like it was poured that way.

The finish is only ever as good as what sits under it. We diamond-grind the whole surface, cut out and fill every crack, prime it, then build the overlay and seal it. That is why ours does not lift after two wet summers.

Straight answers

DECORATIVE RESURFACING QUESTIONS

The questions we get asked on the driveway about this one. Anything else, ring us — you will get a person.

ASK US — 0404 859 045

How long does decorative concrete resurfacing last?

Done properly, 15 to 20 years and more. The decorative layer is not the weak point — the preparation underneath it is. Re-seal every 3 to 5 years and a resurfaced driveway will outlast the fence.

Can you resurface cracked concrete?

Nearly always. Hairline, shrinkage and settlement cracks get cut out, filled and stitched first. If the slab is heaving or has broken into pieces that move independently, we will tell you straight — that one needs replacing.

How soon can I drive on it?

Foot traffic after about 24 hours, cars back on after 5 to 7 days depending on weather. Keep turning wheels off it for the first fortnight.
