Resurfacing is a cost-effective option for homeowners whose driveways have some wear and tear but don’t need to be fully replaced. Unless there are significant problems with your driveway’s foundation, having it resurfaced is an excellent way to enhance your curb appeal. During resurfacing, professionals remove the topmost layer of the asphalt or concrete and replace it with a fresh one. As a result, your driveway will look brand new but for just a fraction of the cost of what you’d pay to have it fully replaced.

The service is available for both asphalt and concrete driveways, but the latter option offers more room for creativity. Specifically, having your aging concrete resurfaced opens up the following options:

• Overlays: You can incorporate flagstone or brick overlays to enhance the visual aspect of your concrete driveway and update your exterior.
• Etching: Through this inventive technique, patterns are impressed into the surface of your driveway. The result creates the illusion of a stone or brick driveway, without having any actual stones laid. Etching is a more affordable alternative to overlays.
• Patterns: You can request saw cut patterns to be incorporated into your driveway. Choose symmetrical options for a precise, geometric look, or opt for random patterns instead.
• Exposed Aggregate: An exposed aggregate driveway features tiny stones fixed into the surface. Not only does it add aesthetic value, but it also gives your driveway more traction to prevent slips.
• Traditional: Lastly, if you prefer a simpler style, you can always have your concrete driveway resurfaced without any of the add-ons listed above. It will still add beauty to your exterior since you’ll no longer have any cracks or noticeable imperfections.
