Browse Forums Paving & Concreting 1 Jul 07, 2009 1:13 pm Hi Everyone, I was after some help please!! We are looking at getting a stenciled concrete driveway. And are tossing up between a few colours. It so hard to tell from a colour chart cos they look so different in "real Life". Can I see some pics of peoples stenciled driveway please?? We really like the look of charcoal but not sure if it will be too dark?? tossing up between- Charcoal, Blue Grey, Storm Grey. havent seen any in real life. Our facade is PGH Sand Dune bricks ( light cream colour ) and Dark Chocolate Roof. Thats why I think the Charcoal might look nice as a contrast with some nice charcoal pots to the sides. Im not opposed to having a light driveway. Just would liek to see some piccies first, thats all!! any help and pics would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe he will post a pic if he sees your thread or you could PM him.
