What is Pattern Imprinted Concrete?
Pattern imprinted concrete (also called pressed concrete driveway or concrete imprinting) is a decorative method where concrete is poured, coloured, and then stamped with patterns. This creates a hard-wearing surface that looks like stone, brick, or slate - ideal for driveways and patios.
It’s strong, weather-resistant, and easy to maintain (avoiding additional costs in the future). Thanks to modern techniques, your new coloured concrete driveway will look stylish for years with very little upkeep.
How We Install Pattern Imprinted Concrete
We follow a careful step-by-step process to make sure your concrete imprinted driveway or printed concrete patio is built to last:
-
Site preparation – We start by digging out the area and laying a strong sub-base for proper drainage and support.
-
Concrete pouring – Fresh concrete is poured evenly across the prepared surface.
-
Colour application – We add surface colour and hardener to give the concrete its final tone and extra strength.
-
Pattern imprinting – While the concrete is still wet, we stamp it with your chosen design. This creates the patterned concrete look.
-
Finishing touches – We clean the surface, cut in control joints to prevent cracking, and allow the area to set.
-
Sealing – Once dry, we apply a durable imprinted concrete sealer to protect against stains, moisture, and weather conditions.
The result is a clean, stylish surface with the feel of stone or tile, at a lower overall cost and with far less maintenance.

Driveway Repairs & Resurfacing
Pattern imprinted concrete is built to last, but even the best driveways can need attention over time. Cracks, faded colour, or surface wear can all affect how your driveway looks and performs. At Drive Tech UK, we offer a full range of repair and resurfacing services to bring your driveway back to life.
We specialise in fixing pattern imprinted concrete. If your surface has small cracks, uneven areas, or damage from oil or frost, we can help. Our team will assess the condition and offer honest advice on the best fix. Sometimes it’s a small repair. Other times, concrete driveway resurfacing the entire area gives a better result.
Resurfacing is a smart option if your driveway still has a solid base. We clean and prepare the surface, reapply colour if needed, and add a fresh sealant. This helps restore the look, add protection, and extend the lifespan of the concrete. It’s also more cost-effective than starting from scratch, considering the difference in materials and labour costs.
We also offer driveway resealing for concrete imprint driveways and other pattern imprinted surfaces. Sealing adds a weather-resistant layer that protects against stains, water, and wear. It also boosts the colour and gives a clean, finished look. We recommend resealing every few years to keep your driveway looking its best.
Whether your drive needs a small repair or full resurfacing, we’ll make sure it’s done properly. You’ll get a clear quote, friendly service, and long-lasting results. We cover Wolverhampton and nearby areas including Bushbury, Willenhall, and Sedgley.
If you’re unsure what your driveway needs, get in touch. We’ll inspect the surface and let you know if repair, resurfacing, or resealing is the right option.
