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.
