Options for Repairing Decorative Concrete Driveways

Decorative concrete is strong, durable, and perfect for your driveway. But one thing to keep in mind is that with time and constant use, it’s inevitable that decorative concrete will weather and begin to damage. On top of the usual cracks and fractures, concrete can suffer from stubborn stains caused by leaking car oil, spilled paint and rust.

Here are some repair options that you should consider when dealing with your damaged concrete driveway.

Concrete resurfacing

Resurfacing is the most common way to deal with cracked concrete. With this process, the concrete is exhaustively cleaned before the cracks are filled. Then, a new surface is placed on top to completely cover up the damage. Not only does resurfacing fix the initial damage, it also allows you to use new textures, colours and designs on top of the new surface.

Concrete staining

For minor damages or blemishes, staining the concrete is a great option. You can pick a colour to match the blemish so that it starts looking like it’s part of the design rather than a flaw. With concrete staining, there’s no limit to your colour choice and finish type, meaning you’re guaranteed to find something that suits your taste and your driveway.

Recolouring

Your concrete driveway will begin to become duller and faded over time due to constant wear, as well as frequent exposure to the elements. Luckily it’s easy to recolour the concrete to restore it to its initial condition. With recolouring, you can also choose an entirely different colour which is great if you’re looking for a new look and feel for your driveway aesthetic.
