			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pattern imprinted driveways were first stared in the 1950’s in America and are extremely popular today. They are very popular for many reasons and have become people’s first choice over decking, lawn and plain concrete driveways.<span id="more-14"></span></p>
<p>With pattern imprinted driveways you can be creative and imaginative by using different colours and unique patterns. Patterns or effects can include; cobble, flags and granite. These patterns are developed and made by stamping moulds and adding colours into in-situ concrete.</p>
<p>Driveways are one of the first things that people notice when looking at your property so having a beautiful looking driveway is always beneficial for good impressions. Pattern imprinted driveways can be very aesthetically pleasing and can add value to your property, not just when selling but on people’s first impressions as well.</p>
<p>They are easily maintained with minimal care needed, as weeds rarely grow through them and stains can also be washed off easily with very little effort.</p>
<p>Overall, pattern imprinted driveways make your home more aesthetically pleasing and add value to your property making it a pleasure to have.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have the most beautiful house in the neighborhood. You personally chose the colors of the paints used to finish the walls inside and outside. The windows are also your hand-picked design including the roof and everything else that is seen about the house. But you should not forget that you must also pay much attention to your driveway’s paving because it is through it that your visitors will enter your house.<span id="more-7"></span></p>
<p>There are two commonly used styles of driveway paving. The pattern imprinted concrete paving and the slab paving. While both are effective in creating driveways, the pattern imprinted concrete paving stands out as the better choice between the two. Let us explain by describing both.</p>
<p>Slab paving is when large sizes or slabs of stone are used in making a driveway. There are many types of stones that can be utilized and this process provides a solid look and feel for a driveway. But the problem lies when the driveway is mainly used for vehicles. Large slabs of stone cannot properly support the weight of a vehicle since all the force is concentrated on the tire and correspondingly, on just one point of contact with the slab. This creates too much force causing the slab of stone to eventually crack.</p>
<p>Another thing is that there are fewer choices for patterns when slab paving is used.</p>
<p>A pattern imprinted concrete paving on the other hand is more durable. It is created by stamping molds and the colors are later added in the concrete. Since these are smaller in sizes, there more patterns available using this process. The imagination is the limit when it comes to the designs possible with a pattern imprinted concrete paving.</p>
