Structure
So, you’re wondering whether you need to pour a new driveway, or if you can simply restore it? Consider the structure of your concrete and the surrounding area. Has it got potholes and cracks? Are there drainage issues? Is the surface uneven or weathered? All these elements are important to consider as they can help you choose the system that is best for you, and indicate if you need a completely new driveway or not. 
Cracks
It is common to find cracks in driveways that can be easily repaired. It is important to meet with a professional applicator so they can assess the state of your driveway who can make a suggestion as to which system will be best. Get in contact with us here, and one of us can put you in touch with an experienced applicator in your area.
Hairline and shrinkage cracks are usually not of great concern; however, they can look unsightly. Most often, these cracks are easily repaired. If they can be repaired, CCS Stylepave Overlays or CCS Colour Master Sealer are ideal options to update your driveway.
For the larger cracks and potholes that may be present in your concrete, it may be of more structural concern. These can be referred to as settlement and structural cracks. Often in the case of these cracks, you may need to replace the concrete. In this case, you can add pigment with our Full Depth Coloured Concrete. You can also choose which finish will be right for you. From exposed aggregate, honed, broomed or stamp concrete and even adding Stylepave over the top of your new pour, the freedom you have is near endless.
Drainage Issues
Drainage issues are a problem that many of us Aussie’s face, especially over the summertime. As every driveway is different, it is essential that you discuss with your applicator the approach you need to take.
