COLOURED CONCRETE

 

Coloured concrete driveways in Melbourne combine durability with style, making them a fantastic option to enhance a property’s charm and value.

Whether you’re drawn to soft, earthy tones or stunningly bold shades, these driveways can be the perfect blend of aesthetics and functionality for your home.

What Is Coloured Concrete?

There are two types of coloured concrete: integral colour and topical colour (called the dry shake method). Integral colour involves mixing pigment and oxide into the concrete for a rich, even colour, while topical colour applies stains or dyes to the concrete surface.

At A Better Driveway, we mix quality oxides in our integral coloured concrete to ensure the colour is permanent and does not require retouching. This omits the possibility of ‘fading’ in the future. We can create a spectrum of hues to suit any style and finish it with a high-quality sealer if you wish.

Whether you prefer dusky pinks or vibrant greens, a coloured concrete driveway can transform your driveway into a unique design feature that complements your home’s aesthetic.

Finish Options

Coloured concrete is highly versatile. It can be poured in a range of colours and finishes in 2 distinct styles: either stipple or broom. It is a highly understated finish with clear lines and superb grip, and wear & tear.

Explore a variety of textures and styles to create a coloured concrete driveway in Melbourne that’s truly yours.

Smooth Finish

Smooth finishes deliver a polished, even texture that pairs perfectly with contemporary architecture.

Stipple Finish

Stipple finish is a swirl effect and the most common type of finish. 

Broom Finish

Broom finish is finished with a soft broom while the concrete is curing and displays a very formal appearance.

FAQs

Why should I get a coloured concrete driveway?
Coloured concrete can come in an almost endless variety of hues to suit any style, which is perfect for homeowners who want a driveway that complements their house aesthetic and elevates their home’s kerb appeal.
How do I choose the right colour for my concrete driveway?
There are a few factors that you can take into account when choosing a colour, such as whether to use integral or topical colour, the colours of your home and landscaping, as well as how much sun your driveway is exposed to. Our team can provide advice and recommendations to narrow your selection down.
Is coloured concrete more expensive than traditional concrete?
While the upfront cost of coloured concrete may be slightly higher, the added durability, customisation and aesthetic value often make it a cost-effective choice in the long run.
How long does it take to install a coloured concrete driveway?
Installation typically takes 3 – 5 days, depending on the complexity of the design and weather conditions. Our team ensures a seamless process from start to finish.
How soon can I use my coloured concrete driveway after installation?
Typically, you can walk on your new driveway within 24 – 48 hours. However, we recommend waiting at least 7 days before parking vehicles on it to ensure it cures properly.
Can you help me design a unique driveway?
