Imprinted concrete driveways in Crawley
A patterned concrete drive in one sealed slab.
Pattern imprinted concrete is a single poured slab, coloured and pressed with a mould to look like brick, cobble or stone, then sealed. With no joints, weeds cannot grow through.
Things to know in Crawley
- Clay movement can crack concrete, so a thick sub-base and well placed movement joints matter
- It is not permeable, so it needs a channel and drainage at the boundary
- Resealing every few years keeps the colour
- Patches are hard to match if it is ever dug up

Common questions
Will imprinted concrete suit a new town semi?
It can look smart, but on a small frontage a plainer pattern usually works better than busy cobble designs.
What happens if a utility company digs it up?
Patching is hard to match exactly, which is why some people choose block paving instead.
