Project Overview

A meandering river of inset natural stone creates a stunning centerpiece for this custom stamped concrete driveway in Puyallup. The main surface presents a large stone texture, colored with warm, earthy tones that complement the varied hues of the rock inlay. This central feature guides the eye along the property, adding organic movement to the design. A clean, lighter-colored border defines the driveway's curving edges, providing a crisp visual separation from the surrounding landscaping and lawn. The large stone pattern is consistently applied to the integrated concrete steps, creating a unified transition from the home's entrance down to the main paved area. Strategically placed saw-cut control joints are worked into the pattern, demonstrating a technical approach to long-term durability by managing natural expansion and contraction.

Things to Know

01

How is the color maintained on a large stamped concrete driveway with significant sun exposure?

Color longevity is achieved by using integral color mixed into the concrete and applying a high-quality, UV-resistant sealer. This sealer protects against fading and should be reapplied every 2-4 years, depending on traffic and weather, to keep the surface vibrant and protected from the elements.

02

What are the potential disadvantages of embedding natural stone into a stamped concrete driveway?

The primary challenge is ensuring a durable bond between the two different materials. If not installed correctly, differential movement from temperature changes or moisture can lead to separation. Proper base preparation and using a polymer-modified grout or mortar are critical for a lasting installation.
