  Some Driveway Considerations We Help With:
  You may need to have a utility company move a line if it’s in the way or change the dimensions of your driveway. In designing your driveway, consider the long-term maintenance. Asphalt needs to be sealed frequently and damages easily. Concrete is the most durable, and the most versatile, as it can be colored and stamped to look like natural stone. Concrete is also the most cost effective over the long run.
  Slope a driveway towards the street so that water is directed away from the building.
  
  A Concrete Sidewalk is a Perfect Option for These Scenarios:
  To provide a suitable means to get from the backyard to the front yard without stepping on landscaping or lawn.
  To connect a porch to the street.
  To connect a porch to the driveway.
  To create a path through a garden.
  As a public walkway in front of your building.
  When designing your walkway, remember to break up solid concrete with greenery and color to make the walk aesthetically pleasing. If the sidewalk will get little sunlight to support flowers and plant growth, consider coloring and staining the concrete to keep the area from looking too drab.
  
  The typical width of a sidewalk is 3 1/2 feet across. Make it smaller to support single walkers through smaller areas, and make it larger if you want the sidewalk to hold sitting areas with benches and chairs, or you want to place planters, outdoor furniture or other accessories on the sidewalk.
  
  Concrete Patio Ideas
  Here are some concrete patio ideas to help you design your landscaping project. When choosing a patio, consider the design of the shape, the color and the pattern.
  
  Shape
  Some options to consider are circles, squares, rectangles, clover-shaped, or our favorite – a combination that gently curves and slopes to match your landscape.
  
  Here’s a tip for helping you visualize the final product: Take a garden hose or rope and place it in the form of the shape you would like your patio. Place it in the exact spot you would like the patio placed. Show it to your contractor, take a picture of it, or make a sketch of your house/building with the patio coming off of it.
  
  Color
  The most inexpensive color option is of course, no color. Concrete has a naturally whitish-grey color. This may be exactly what you are looking for; but color options for concrete are almost limitless. It is our belief it is best to stay in the neutral color category (grays, tans and browns). Although it is fun to try exotic colors, remember to think about the resale value of your home or property. Exotic colors can scare off future buyers. Also consider the colors of the building your patio will be next to. The color should complement the building.
  
  Stamped Concrete
  This is the process of imprinting a texture into the wet concrete. Once dried and sealed, the concrete often looks like a natural stone, brick or wood (depending on what you chose to texture it with).
