How to keep new concrete driveway clean?

[zoozbuh78]

I just got a stamped concrete driveway with dark color added, and I really want to keep it looking nice. I've seen some light tire marks already, are those normal?

I also want to put some big planters on it, but I'm worried they might leave stains from water or rust. Would plastic risers help protect the surface? I think my brother have some TimberTech scraps I could use. Any suggestions are welcome

Absolutely, it's totally normal to see light tire marks on stamped concrete. To avoid any stains or rust marks, it's a smart move to use plastic or rubber risers underneath your planters

Light tire marks are pretty common, especially on darker finishes. Sun and rain usually make them fade, and a soft wash helps. For the planters, plastic risers or TimberTech pieces should work great. I used some under mine and they stopped rust and water stains.

Light tire marks are pretty normal, especially early on and a good sealer can help them fade
