What the job involved

Single-width drive replaced from street to garage
Large-format ashlar stamp, toned to the roof and shutters
Graded to carry water off the surface and away from the house

A narrow lot leaves no room for a driveway that reads as a slab, so this one is stamped in a large-format ashlar pattern that gives the surface scale and grip without the maintenance of a jointed material. The tone was kept close to the grey of the roof and shutters rather than competing with the white brick.

Stamped concrete suits a drive like this one: a single continuous pour with no joints for weeds to find, textured enough to keep its footing in a wet Northern Virginia winter. The run is graded to carry water off the surface and away from the house rather than toward the foundation.
