Concrete Driveways - Staining and Sawcutting Ideas

Length - 02:59

Scott Cohen of The Green Scene, an award-winning designer of eye-catching concrete hardscapes, shows how to transform a plain-gray concrete driveway using sawcutting and staining techniques. One of his favorite patterns -- decorative banding -- is an impressive effect that can be achieved with minimal effort. Simply cut parallel and perpendicular score lines into the concrete with a walk-behind saw, and then go over the pattern with acid-based chemical stains, applying layers of different colors. Cohen also shows you how to upgrade an existing concrete driveway with acid stains applied in contrasting bands of color.
