Fantastic Transformation Using Pattern Imprinted Concrete!

With holidays abroad again looking unlikely this summer for most families, why not invest in your home and garden. It is the perfect time to re-style the outside of your house, maximising its potential for alfresco dining and entertaining friends. You can transform your external space with a stunning new patio, but why stop at that, improve the front and side of your home with a new driveway in Manchester and a new path.

That’s what some recent clients did. They decided to improve the appearance of the front of their house as well as increase the potential for parking by having pattern imprinted concrete for their new driveway in Manchester.

For the pattern they opted for the timeless elegance of country cobble in platinum. They combined this with paths down both sides of the house and a patio across the back which they had printed in reclaimed timber pattern and classic grey colour. While the two different patterns defined the areas, having similar colours for both the driveway, paths and patio created a cohesive feel joining the front and back of the house together. The platinum and classic grey provided just enough of a subtle difference while perfectly complimenting each other.

We also incorporated steps at the front and side doors and one across the French doors at the back of the house, all covered in the same pattern imprinted concrete and all sealed in a mid-sheen seal with anti-skid.

In addition, we used sleepers to retain the grass. The great thing about pattern imprinted concrete is that it can be laid into any shape, so rather than straight angles we used a curve to distinguish the grass from the patio area. We also used Wallcrete render to create a textured skin planter. You can see examples of the sleepers and planter in some of the photographs included.

To ensure the patio, paths and driveway were SUDS compliant we included an ACO drain at the back and side of the house which gives surface water somewhere to flow to. We are thoroughly conversant with government guidelines and will ensure our work always adheres to these.
