There are very few materials that can meet the requirements of a driveway - characterized by high traffic, heavy loads, and exposure to the sun, wind, and rain. Other common driveway materials like gravel require maintenance, and the loose gravel can often migrate off your driveway from moving your car. Brick and pavers require skilled craftsmen, and even then, they are prone to sinking or weed growth between the paving blocks. Other alternatives, such as large format tiles, are more expensive or are not as well suited to domestic settings, which is why concrete is king for driveway construction. At Boca Raton Concrete Co we know and understand this well. We specialise in stamped decorative concrete.
Concrete is both durable and affordable. Add to that the ability to create custom designs, patterns, and colors, and you can understand why most of our clients choose concrete.

That's right, the classic option is often overlooked is to use plain concrete which is poured and then smoothed. It is quicker to install as it doesn't require any special finishing or details, which also keeps down the cost. Indeed, this is the most affordable option. Maintenance is also kept low, and after sealing the concrete, this option should last upwards of thirty years provided it is given a hose down and brush down once in a while
Here, we use special tools to introduce a more textured finish - this will give is a brushed or scalloped look. This texture provides more grip although it may also attract more dirt. Don't worry though, this is nothing you can't clean easily enough using a regular garden hose although a slightly higher psi power washer would be a better choice.
Brushed concrete is a popular choice for homeowners in South Florida - it's very durable and gives a faux industrial look that works well with the climate and style of houses common here.
If you like the look of large pavers but don't like the cost you can consider our paved cut concrete driveways. With this design we simply apply a custom patters such as a border or individual cuts in the concrete so that it resembles large format tiles. Cut concrete can be combined with other designs and techniques to create something more unique.
This is where it starts to get more creative. Using our custom stamping designs we will add shapes and patterns onto the wet concrete as it is drying, this means they can be made to look like other materials such as brick or other nature stones. You can achieve for example a rustic cobblestone effect without having to source pavers or rely on expensive contractors to fit the stones. We can also add custom stencils and designs or even a monogram to give you a personalised finish.

Here we can add solid colour stains to your concrete during the installation process to create contrasting colour schemes or colour to parts of it. You can use different colours, which can be an effective way to help your driveway blend in with your landscape such as lawn or pathways, and other surroundings such as your home exterior.
We tend to see that our customers prefer natural earth tones that mimic other materials like sandstone or darker colours for a border - but you can blend and make your own custom colors. Be sure to discuss this with us before your installation
Aggregates are small stones, gravel or even shells that when combined with the concrete produce a more textured finish with a high grip surface.
