Charlotte, NC – Concrete Installation Contractor
Plain and Brushed Concrete Driveway or Patios
Installing a plain concrete driveway is a great way to boost your curb appeal and add value to your home. Concrete driveways are more durable and less prone to cracking than asphalt, gravel, or pavers, making them an ideal surface for any home’s outdoor living space. Plain concrete can be installed quickly and affordably by an experienced contractor, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a new driveway in no time.
One of the main advantages of having a plain concrete driveway is its low maintenance requirements. Unlike asphalt, which needs to be sealed every two years, or gravel which requires regular raking and leveling, plain concrete requires minimal upkeep after installation. Just sweep away leaves and debris regularly to keep it looking its best.

The Benefits of Using concrete as a surface
Although plain concrete is the most affordable option for driveways, many homeowners prefer to upgrade their plain driveway with decorative treatments such as stamped concrete. Stamped concrete consists of adding texture and color to existing concrete, creating a unique look that resembles natural stone surfaces like slate or cobblestone. The cost of stamped concrete can vary depending on the size of the area being covered and the complexity of design, but it is typically more expensive than plain concrete.
For those who want an even more luxurious look for their driveway, there are options such as exposed aggregate and epoxy coatings. Exposed aggregate involves exposing larger stones within the concrete mix while epoxy coatings give driveways a glossy finish that looks like marble or granite. Both of these treatments add a polished look to your driveway, but they are significantly more expensive than plain concrete or stamped concrete.

What is the Cost?
No matter which type of surface you choose for your driveway, the cost of installation will vary depending on the size of the area and difficulty of the job. On average, it can cost anywhere from $4 to $12 per square foot for plain concrete installation. For stamped concrete, expect to pay between $8 and $18 per square foot. Exposed aggregate and epoxy coatings typically run between $15-30 per square foot. To get an accurate estimate, contact a professional contractor in your area who specializes in concrete driveways.
Overall, plain concrete is one of the most affordable and durable options for driveways. It requires minimal maintenance and can be installed quickly by a professional. If you want to add some extra style and flair, opt for stamped concrete or decorative treatments such as exposed aggregate or epoxy coatings. Whatever option you choose, you’ll have an attractive driveway that will improve the value of your home for years to come.
