After searching for a heated driveway solution, these Minnesota homeowners were pleased to find County Materials’ large selection of concrete paving stones available in a shot blasted finish. Shot blasting provides additional texture, which gives the stepping surface a more reliable tread for walking and driving in wet and icy conditions.
Elements™ Paving Stones in Dream with a shot blasted finish were specified to be installed over the driveway heating system. To enhance the visual interest of the driveway, smaller Elements Paving Stones with a Smooth Fine finish, which have a slightly darker color, were spaced intermittently between the larger shot blasted paving stones.
The clean aesthetic and slightly chamfered edges of the Elements Paving Stones create a luxurious appearance that matches the elegance of the home.
Concrete pavers are a durable material that requires minimal maintenance and can preserve its appearance for many years. Strong enough to withstand heavy car and foot traffic and manufactured to resist freeze/thaw cycles, concrete paving stones are a proven choice for driveways.
The project involved excavation, leveling the base, installing the driveway heating system, and laying more than 3,000 square feet of pavers. The contractor, Keenan & Svieven, completed the installation within eight weeks.
The homeowners look forward to many winters of relaxing inside watching their stunning driveway melt the snow.
