How to Resurface Concrete Driveway Spray On

Concrete driveways are widely used because concrete is durable and relatively hassle-free. However, the concrete can become damaged either by stains, cracks or holes and can need to be resurfaced to maintain the appeal and value of the house. Nowadays, there are a variety of decorative touches for driveways, including a textured look. The texture is applied by spraying concrete polymer onto the driveway.
