Installation

The Installation Process


Here are the steps we take when installing pattern imprinted concrete...


When you decide to have a pattern imprinted concrete pathway installed you want to know exactly what will happen and want assurance that it will be installed by the best possible team of professionals.

 

  • Excavate your existing driveway.
  • Lay M.O.T. (hardcore) down and run a whacker plate over the top compacting the material together.
  • Lay any steps, drainage or manholes which may be needed.
  • Shutter the driveway off using timber or plastic radius for any curves needed. 
  • Lay concrete down then throw a colour hardener over the top and trowel in.
  • Throw an antique release agent down and imprint using the mould's and tools needed.
  • Two days later we will come back to wash 75% of the release agent off, then 25% of it penetrates into the concrete leaving you with a two-tone antique effect. 
  • Cut expansion joints in the concrete for any ground movement.
  • Last of all come back to seal it
