On a driveway and patio the concrete is installed to a depth of 100mm. The concrete is fibre reinforced and air entrained.
On a driveway we dig down 200mm. On a patio it’s 150mm.
Concrete should never be installed when the temperature drops below 3 centigrade in the daytime or below -1 centigrade at night as it can affect the durability and strength of the concrete. We also never install pattern imprinted concrete when rain or showers are forecast as it will impair the finish of the concrete imprint.
Pattern imprinted concrete can be slippy when installers finish their project with a high gloss sealant and no anti-slip is added. We finish our projects to a satin finish and anti-slip is added to the sealant for maximum grip.
This all depends on wear and tear but we recommend every 30 to 36 months. We include a discounted Reseal with all of our installations.

Patios are a low maintenance area that will stay looking great with very little care. Regular sweeping and the off hosing down will help to keep your patio clean. Should any dirt or grime build up over time then you could always consider a jet wash or patio cleaner to bring the life back into it.
