Driveway Paint can significantly improve the appearance of your home.

Freshly Painted Driveway

Your driveway is the entrance to your property and is where your friends, neighbours and passers by form their opinions of your home.

If your driveway is looking worn or just needs a facelift, there are several ways to make it more appealing and increase it's value.

  • Pressure Washing.
  • Repair any broken pavers or bricks, fill any cracks.
  • Painting
  • Add a border.
  • Upgrade or replace your driveway.
  • Improve your landscaping.
  • Lighting.
  • Decorative Mailbox.


Pressure Washing

Your driveway gives the first impression of your home or business, and maintaining it in a clean, presentable and hazard free manner is crucial to it's appearance and safety. A well presented and maintained driveway has many benefits. It will present a positive impression of your home which you or your tenants can be proud of.

Having a well kept driveway is crucial for commercial or industrial property. A clean, stain free driveway projects a positive impression to potential customers, clients and staff. Maintaining  your driveway in peak condition will help ensure peak functionality and compliance with WHS standards.


Sure, it's tempting to try to clean these surfaces yourself, however, compared to a professional driveway cleaning company, it is difficult to achieve high quality results. Professionals use powerful, high quality equipment and employ experience,  expertise and well proven pressure cleaning methods. For comprehensive and effective paver pressure cleaning of concrete surfaces of all types, using a professional pressure cleaning company will always reap benefits!


High Pressure Cleaning Driveway Pavers

Repair any broken pavers or bricks, fill any cracks.

Over time, concrete and concrete tiles can become chipped, broken, cracked, loose, fall out or fade. These are just a few of the issues which affect your tiles over their lifetime. If you don't attend to them regularly these issues will continue to get worse and more expensive to repair. Most wear and tear happens around the high activity areas in your home or workplace. If left too long, repairing may not be as simple as replacing one damaged tile, often the entire tiled area needs work.

Engaging a professional, equipped with the correct tools, leading industry techniques and products, will ensure thorough treatment of damaged tiles across any surface.

Painting

A simple and cost effective way to instantly improve the look of your driveway and increase the value of your home is to have it cleaned and repainted.



A patchy and faded concrete driveway detract from the appearance of your home and will devalue its resale value. If your driveway, patio or pool area are just worn or aging, High Pressure Cleaning and Driveway Paint will bring back the sparkle.


Painting a concrete driveway with a commercial grade sealant will protect the surface. The result will help prevent moisture absorption and increase the concrete's ability to resist any weather

Improve your Landscaping

There are endless ways you can landscape around your driveway. An easy way to start is by placing large containers in strategic locations along the edge of the driveway. The key is to put them where they won’t obstruct, or damage, any vehicles using the area. It's a good idea to use pots, or containers, that are large enough to see easily. Small pots might look a bit fussy, or busy, and can be difficult to see. Be creative and use colour and shape of the pots to enhance the design. 

Driveway Landscaping

Add a Border

Add an attractive border for a concrete walkway or patio using brick pavers set on a bed of gravel and sand. With a solid gravel base, a brick border will last for the life of your house.

Installing brick as driveway edging for your home's driveway will create a neat and attractive border that separates your entryway from your lawn. This will also help to protect the concrete or asphalt from chipping or cracking.

Another benefit is that it will make mowing and weed eating easier. 

Decorative Mailbox

This is where you can let your imagination and creative juices run free. There are as many types of letterbox designs as there are houses. You can use a subtle design to match the look of your home, or you can go 'all out' and make your letterbox a feature and leave a lasting impression.

Lighting

Driveway lights will define your home's perimeter and increase nighttime visibility for driving, parking, and walking. Lights are also great for adding unique character to your home's design. 

With a little bit of creativity, you can add some style, flair, and curb appeal as well. Driveway lighting will also add safety and security to your home or business.

Here are some ideas:

  • Uplights
  • Light Posts
  • Pillar Lights
  • Spike Lights
  • Bollard Lights

Upgrade or replace your driveway.

Upgrading or completely replacing your driveway is certainly the way to transform the whole appearance of the area, but it will definitely be the most expensive option.

If price is no barrier, replacing your old driveway with a brand new driveway will enhance the street appeal of your property and give you many years of maintenance free use.

Solar panels should be cleaned when they are dirty or when the amount of dust, dirt, or other contaminants on the panels is reducing their ability to generate electricity. This can happen more frequently in dry, dusty areas or areas with a lot of pollution in the air.

If you are planning to paint your driveway yourself, you can expect to pay around $14 to $20 per litre for concrete paint. Add to this the cost of the tools required for your painting project. Your driveway paint should also seal the concrete against water. You can also add your favourite colour and apply a texture as well.
