Residential driveways require design and construction and consideration needs to be given around type of finish.
Driveway finishes can include options such as broom or exposed aggregate.
Broom Finish:
A smooth concrete surface finish will be treacherous to walk on if it is wet or frosty and evermore so if there is a slope. A light broom finish provides some skid resistance.
Exposed Aggregate Finish:
Exposed Aggregates are achieved by washing away the top layer of concrete to leave the surface layer of aggregate exposed. Pebbles for this type of finish are sourced locally from regions throughout New Zealand and each has its own unique mix and “local” look.
If you have a concrete project in mind feel free to drop us a line.

Your business needs to stand out and customers need to easily remember you. This is where business brand becomes vital.

A business brand can be seen as a representation of the business owner or reflection of an owner’s values.
A brand is a gut instinct or intuition or an immediate feeling people have about a company product or service. It’s what your customers and staff members think about your business.
On a more practical sense successful branding can be seen within the business itself through consistent and repetitive use via it’s:
Website
Business Logo
Business Cards
Social Media
Apparel
Vehicle Signage
A great brand positions a business among competitors. For smaller businesses, if done correctly, great branding can create an even playing field so to compete with larger established ones.
Arguably, all else being equal, if your brand is professional you could charge for products and services in accordance with how good your brand LOOKS. (Did we say - all else being equal)
If you are looking for customers to engage with your business and keep them coming back, Digicol can help!
We do Branding and we are good at it
Starting with logo design we can assist by selecting illustrations, fonts, photos, colours and our graphic designer can create something unique to your business.
