New Concrete Driveways Catalog Offers Decorative Design Ideas
Yucaipa, CA (PRWEB) May 29, 2008 -- One of the most effective ways to enhance the look of a home is by gracing it with a decorative concrete driveway. The Concrete Network has put together a new downloadable catalog on Concrete Driveways (http://www.concretenetwork.com/driveways_catalog/) for homeowners, designers and builders looking for ideas on enhancing driveways with decorative concrete.
Pages are filled with all of the necessary information to make an educated decision regarding a concrete driveway make-over. Included are full color photos, and design options in using decorative stamps, stains, sawcut patterns, color options and much more.
When homeowners build a new driveway or revamp an existing one, many turn to concrete, but not just the typical, gray concrete. Decorative concrete allows for driveways to be customized. Because concrete can be forged into a range of textures, colors, and patterns, it is a versatile part of an overall landscape design and can increase the value of a home.
"As people continue to expand their investment in real estate, the demand for beautifying these properties should continue," explains Mike Verlennich of Verlennich Masonry and Concrete. "Beautiful, durable concrete is the best choice for long-term function and aesthetic appeal."
Many concrete driveways (http://www.concretenetwork.com/concrete/concrete_driveways/) last for 30 years or more and, in the long run, may cost less than using and maintaining natural materials like flagstone, brick or slate. The catalog also features many decorative products that can resurface existing driveways without the need to tear out and replace the entire slab.

Concrete Sealers When To Use Them
Concrete is a man-made construction product made by combining cement (containing lime), sand, gravel, and water. While concrete is one of the most useful materials used today in construction it is vulnerable and should be protected. The main weakness in concrete lies in the fact that it is so porous. These pores act like tubes or canals that carry damaging substances below the surface (often through the entire structure), which creates major deterioration problems to concrete structures. A sealant very well may double the effective lifespan of your concrete surface, and one should always be thought of and kept in mind.
