Concrete Driveways
Improve Curb Appeal with a NEW Custom Concrete Driveway from Carolina Decorative Concrete
One of the first things visitors see of your home is the driveway. A driveway can speak volumes about the homeowner. Is it old, oil-stained, and cracked? Inadequate parking spaces? Is it difficult to access? Replace that tired, old driveway with a new, beautiful custom driveway.
Step One: Evaluation and Recommendations
At Carolina Decorative Concrete, making sure the proper steps are followed when pouring and creating a concrete driveway is the number one priority! First, Lou Sullivan and his team begin by making sure the soil where the driveway will be poured is uniform and packed and will provide the essential support for the concrete slab. This also ensures that the slab will be an even thickness and prevents the structure of the slab from cracking during settlement. Sometimes, gravel or soft rocks may need to be laid to provide top-notch results.

Step Two: Preparation of the Concrete and Joint Placement
The next step is mixing the concrete and placing the joints. Carolina Decorative Concrete professionals will combine the perfect variety of cements for your home’s environment to ensure a durable, lasting driveway that you will enjoy for years.
The joints are the frame that creates a driveway’s segmented style. These joints can be placed to be simply functional or to create an intricate pattern or design. Carolina Decorative Concrete will review your options based on the slope of the land, soil type, and typical weather patterns to create a resilient and functional driveway. Steel reinforcement may need to be added to your driveway for homes with heavy traffic.
Step Three: Pouring the Concrete & Applying Decorative Finishes and/or Textures
The final steps include leveling the freshly poured concrete, applying a texture for improved traction such as a simple broom pattern, or staining and sealing the driveway. At Carolina Decorative Concrete, the options are almost limitless. Offering concrete stamping, acid finishing, and intricate designs, CDC can turn an old driveway into a work of art after it has been replaced or refinished.
