Why Choose Harrow Driveways
What Is Imprinted Concrete?
Imprinted concrete is a decorative concrete surface that is poured on-site, coloured, and then stamped with patterned moulds before curing. This process allows the concrete to replicate the appearance of materials such as block paving, slate, cobblestone, or natural stone—without the need for individual joints or blocks.
Once sealed, imprinted concrete forms a solid, continuous surface that is resistant to weeds, movement, and heavy vehicle use, making it ideal for driveways, pathways, and patios.

Our Imprinted Concrete Installation Process
At Harrow Driveways, we follow a precise installation process to ensure exceptional results on every project.
1. Site Survey & Planning
We begin with a full assessment of your driveway area, discussing pattern choices, colour options, drainage requirements, and usage. This ensures the final design complements your property and meets practical needs.
2. Ground Preparation
The existing surface is removed where necessary, and the ground is excavated to the correct depth. A strong sub-base is installed and compacted to support the concrete and prevent future movement.
3. Formwork & Reinforcement
Timber or metal formwork is installed to define the driveway shape. Reinforcement may be added where required to improve strength and load-bearing performance.
4. Concrete Pouring & Colouring
High-quality concrete is poured evenly across the prepared area. Colour hardeners are applied to achieve the chosen finish and enhance surface strength.
5. Pattern Imprinting
While the concrete is still workable, specialist patterned mats are pressed into the surface to create the desired design. This stage requires skill and precision to achieve a consistent, realistic finish.
6. Sealing & Curing
Once cured, a protective sealant is applied to enhance colour, provide slip resistance, and protect the surface from weathering and staining.
