The advent of decorative concrete in South Haven has given homeowners many additional options for decorating their yards. Before, no decoration was possible. Homeowners either had to deal with concrete white or asphalt black, with their accompanying textures. Matching yards and houses to driveways was challenging, to say the least. On the other hand, now that homeowners are presented with so any possibilities, it may be a challenge to know where to start. One good strategy is to match the theme of the home (as compared to the yard).

Homeowners understand that creating a total look for their property concerns coordinating the look of their front yards with that of their homes. Often homeowners will choose a striking contrast. This could be having a white wood house to sit behind their lush green lawn. Other homeowners will match rather than contrast their yards with their homes. One attractive example is to match a Spanish stucco-style home with a rock garden, both done in varying shades and textures of light brown. Interestingly, the first homeowner may choose a concrete driveway, with an off-white color that somewhat fits the décor. The second homeowner may choose asphalt to fit in best with the brown tones. Now imagine if both homeowners had access to a driveway material that had exactly the colors and textures they wanted. Now, the first homeowner may choose a light green to match the lawn. The second owner could choose a shade of brown with a contrasting pebble texture to fit perfectly with his stone yard. This is the power of decorative concrete in South Haven.

Now homeowners can design their driveways as an integrated part of their home décor. They can choose any color for decorative concrete in South Haven, either to match the yard or to match the home. The concrete can be textured in any way desired. Some homeowners choose to create grooves that give the driveway the appearance of flagstones. Others choose a rough texture to create the impression of tarmac. Still other homeowners roughen up their driveways just to provide a safer surface during wet or snowy weather. A thin veneer of aggregate can be added to create a pebble or sand-like surface to create a gorgeous effect. In each of these cases, the driveway can be finished with a protective coating that not only extends the lifetime of the driveway, but can also provide a glossy look to the surface.
