New driveway in Wythenshawe
Lasting Impressions was recently asked to install a new driveway in Wythenshawe.
Having done some research into the various materials that can be used for a new driveway such as concrete, block paving and resin bound aggregate they opted for pattern imprinted concrete. They wanted a new driveway as well as a concrete path leading to the front of the house.
Pattern imprinted concrete is an innovative method that has become very popular over the last 15-20 years. Look down any suburban street and you will see lots of homeowners who have opted to have a pattern imprinted concrete. And it’s no wonder that having a pattern imprinted concrete driveway in Wythenshawe, Manchester, is so popular, it’s low maintenance, easy to clean and virtually weed proof! Living such busy lives as we all do, having a new driveway in Wythenshawe, Manchester, that is easy to look after and requires very little maintenance is a bonus!
Our client wanted a pattern imprinted concrete driveway in Wythenshawe, Manchester, as well as a path leading to the front of the house. They also wanted the driveway to follow the line of the dividing fence and skirt along the edge of the front lawn. That’s one of the advantages of using pattern imprinted concrete, it can be laid into any size and shape of space.
For their pattern imprinted concrete driveway in Wythenshawe, Manchester, our clients decided to have London Cobble for the pattern and coloured in classic grey. Think of cobbles and you might picture the cobbled streets in a Jane Austen novel or the more recent iconic cobbled street – Coronation Street, however, these days pattern imprinted concrete can replicate the look of old original cobble stones while being made from modern materials that are long lasting and robust. If you look at the photographs attached, you can see that the London Cobble pattern that we installed has gently rounded corners and a domed surface. It’s a classic choice and will suit any style and age of house. If you live in a traditional semi or a more contemporary style town house, the classic cobble with work well in either setting.
To ensure that the new driveway in Wythenshawe, Manchester complies with industry standards, we installed an CO drain. This enables surface water to flow away into the ground rather than collect in puddles on the driveway. You can see from the photographs included that we installed the ACO drain from the corner of the house because of the split fall. This drain channel is lightweight and easy to install and has anti-shunt grating so you can’t trip over it, and it stays firmly in place.
Having finished the driveway, we sealed it with an anti-slip sealant. This protects the concrete while also enhancing the colour. The new driveway perfectly complemented the white rendering on the outside of the house, nicely linking the house, driveway and path together.
