In the recent past, concrete driveway options consisted of a textured or super smooth finish. But today, you can easily customize your driveway and enhance your home's curb appeal through more concrete options. Many Raleigh residents still prefer a simple approach to driveway design. But others seek the look of natural stone, brick or other paving materials recreated using concrete. You can even choose from a wide range of artistic designs imprinted into your driveway or borders, along with an endless array of colors and stains.

A stamped concrete driveway, just like a stamped concrete patio, pool deck, sidewalk or other surface, is concrete imprinted with a specific design. It is sometimes crafted to look like natural stone, brick, tile, wood or slate. This surface can also contain specific designs. With TrulyHome Concrete's help, you can choose your surface imprint and custom color.
Stamped concrete provides a luxurious look at a much lower cost than natural stone, slate, tile, brick or wood. Through custom coloring, your driveway or other surface can look like real stone or other natural elements. You can also color match to the surrounding environment, your home exterior or any other design inspiration. With TrulyHome Concrete's help, you can make your stamped concrete driveway a statement piece, complementary to the natural environment or cohesive with your building architecture.
Obviously, there are many reasons to choose a stamped concrete driveway by TrulyHome Concrete. The three most common reasons for our customers choosing stamped concrete for their driveways include:
There are few materials used for driveway paving that prove as sustainable and durable as concrete. In essence, your concrete driveway is both green and friendly to the environment. Below are some of the reasons why a concrete driveway is the smart choice in terms of environmental conservation:
A concrete driveway is constructed of renewable resources.
Asphalt driveways contain nonrenewable petroleum. Your concrete driveway, on the other hand, contains only widely available and sustainable resources. These ingredients include natural rocks and sand, primarily limestone cement and water. Limestone is the most abundant mineral on our planet.
Concrete driveways can include recycled materials.
Concrete for your driveway can include recycled concrete and waste byproducts. Common as partial cement replacements are fly ash, silica fume and ground blast furnace slag from steel mills, power plants and other industrial environments. Some concrete mixes and reinforcing steel also contain recycled aggregates.
Your concrete driveway reflects light to brighten your environment at night and save energy.
Asphalt driveways absorb heat and light, reflecting only five percent of the light hitting it. Concrete reflects up to 27 percent of the light cast onto it, creating a brighter environment at night. This can help you save energy by reducing the amount of outdoor lighting you need. Using light colored paving like concrete driveways also reduces urban area heat-island effects.
Concrete driveways last longer.
When TrulyHome Concrete installs your driveway, you can expect this surface to last for several decades. This is two to three times longer than you could expect from an asphalt driveway. Because they prove so durable, concrete driveways require less frequent replacement and resurfacing. This means you take less raw materials from the environment for your driveway paving.
Concrete driveways are fully recyclable.
If you decide to replace or remove your concrete driveway, the materials are fully recyclable. These materials are crushed and used as granular fill for new paving or as a concrete aggregate.
Whether you need a short driveway or one that weaves through your property, concrete driveway paving is the best choice. TrulyHome Concrete in Raleigh can acquaint you with your design and coloring options for a well-crafted and durable driveway designed to last for decades.
