Who installs colored concrete in Gainesville and Haymarket, VA?
JP Companies, Inc., family-owned since 2007 and licensed as a Virginia Class A contractor (#2705118509), installs colored concrete driveways, walkways and patios in Gainesville, Haymarket and throughout Northern Virginia. The color sits on the slab JP pours for every exposed concrete surface: 4,000 PSI concrete, 4” thick, reinforced with 6” x 6” welded wire mesh and laid over a compacted stone base. Colored concrete can be broom-finished or stamped.
Colored Concrete Driveways
A colored concrete driveway is built on our driveway slab: 4” of 4,000 PSI concrete with 6” x 6” welded wire mesh over 2–4” of compacted 21A or 57 stone, in a color other than plain gray.
The color can cover the whole driveway or only part of it. A gray driveway with a colored border, or a colored band where the driveway meets the walk, adds color without changing the whole slab.
Colored Concrete Patios, Stamped or Not
Colored concrete does not have to be stamped. A colored patio with our standard broom finish keeps the simple surface of plain concrete in another tone, and it costs less than a stamped one.
When a pattern is wanted too, see stamped concrete.
Colored or Stained?
A stain goes on concrete that has already hardened, sometimes years after the pour, and colors its surface. How we color a new slab, and whether a stain suits an older one, is a question for the estimate.
Choosing a Color
Look at a color outside, beside the brick, stone or siding of the house, before you decide.
Colored concrete can also tie new work to old: a colored walk beside a stone stoop, or a colored patio that picks up the color of the trim.
Color on a New or Wider Driveway
Color can go into a driveway being switched from asphalt or made wider. For gray with texture, there is exposed aggregate, and our plain broom finish is on the concrete driveways and concrete patios pages; everything we pour is on concrete contractors.
Where We Pour Colored Concrete
We pour colored concrete in each of these towns, Gainesville and Haymarket first. The approval depends on what is poured: outside the Town of Haymarket, Prince William County’s zoning office approves every patio and every driveway expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is colored concrete more expensive?
Yes. Color is an added material, so a slab costs more in color than in gray, and a pattern on top adds more; a colored broom-finished patio costs less than a colored and stamped one.
Does colored concrete have to be stamped?
No. A colored patio can keep our standard broom finish; when a pattern is wanted too, it can be stamped.
Can colored concrete match my house?
It can come close, but concrete color rarely matches a paint chip exactly and can vary a shade between pours. Look at the color outside, beside the house, before you decide.
Can only part of a driveway be colored?
Yes. A border, or a band where the driveway meets the walk, can be colored while the rest stays gray.
