Project Overview

A bold, two-tone grid pattern defines this modern concrete driveway in Puyallup, creating a grand entrance with contrasting textures and colors. The design features large, sand-finished panels set within a dark, stamped concrete border that extends into a geometric grid. This technique provides a strong visual structure that complements the home's contemporary farmhouse architecture. The darker bands are impressed with a textured slate pattern, offering a subtle roughness that contrasts sharply with the lighter, fine-grit surfaces. To the rear of the residence, a spacious patio continues the clean aesthetic with a uniform sand finish. The area is defined by wide, curved concrete steps on two levels, providing a graceful and functional transition from the covered porch to the surrounding landscape. The consistent use of saw-cut control joints throughout ensures durability and a clean, finished appearance.

Things to Know

01

What are the advantages of using a stamped concrete border on a sand finish driveway for a modern home?

It creates sharp visual contrast and architectural interest, breaking up large surfaces. The texture adds depth, complementing modern design elements while clearly defining the space and adding a custom feel.

02

Is a sand finish a good choice for outdoor curved concrete steps regarding safety?

Yes, a sand finish provides excellent slip resistance due to its fine, gritty texture. It offers reliable traction in both wet and dry conditions, making it a safe and durable choice for steps and walkways.

03

What is the best way to maintain a large, two-tone concrete driveway with both stamped and sand finishes?

Regularly sweep or rinse the surface to remove debris. Clean spills promptly to prevent staining. Resealing the entire surface every 2-3 years is crucial to protect both finishes from wear, UV fading, and moisture.
