Broom Finish vs Stamped Concrete Driveways

When homeowners think about driveway design, finish is usually the first question.

Broom Finish

This is the most common choice—and for good reason.

Why homeowners choose it

  • Good traction, even when wet
  • Lower cost
  • Minimal maintenance
  • Clean, classic look

Downside

  • Not decorative

Stamped Concrete

Stamped concrete is about appearance.

Why homeowners choose it

  • Decorative patterns
  • Color options
  • High curb appeal

Things to consider

  • Higher upfront cost
  • Needs regular sealing
  • Repairs are more noticeable
  • Can be slippery if not textured properly

For most homes, broom finish makes the most sense. Stamped concrete works best when appearance is the top priority and maintenance isn’t an issue.
