A concrete driveway does not have to be a solid, unattractive expanse
Concrete is a cost-effective material to use for driveways. It can be cast as one enormous slab / surface, but there are alternatives to make sure that your concrete driveway is an attractive feature of your home.
Using individual concrete slabs
You can have your driveway cast in any number of slabs, which could be arranged in a pattern to give an aesthetic appeal. You also do not need to think of a concrete driveway as necessarily being the usual grey colour of dry concrete.
