A Guide to Enhancing Spaces with Decorative Concrete Finishes

Decorative concrete has become one of the most versatile ways to dress up an outdoor space, and for patios, walkways and similar areas it gives you both style and function. These are the main finishes homeowners choose from to add charm and character outside.

Stamped Concrete

Stamped concrete copies the look of other materials, such as brick or stone, and adds texture and depth to your outdoor surfaces. You can choose among different stamp patterns and colors to suit your home's architectural style.

Stained Concrete

Staining brings rich color into your outdoor concrete surfaces, and there's plenty of room to customize the colors and how they're applied.

Polished Concrete

Polished concrete gives an outdoor space a sleek, contemporary, refined look. It's low maintenance and durable, which makes it a practical choice outside too.

Exposed Aggregate

Exposed aggregate reveals the texture of the small stones and pebbles in the concrete at the surface. It's versatile, it looks natural, and it makes for a slip-resistant outdoor area.

Integral Coloring

With integral coloring, pigments are mixed straight into the concrete, so the color is consistent all the way through. It lets the concrete blend in with the landscaping and surroundings.

Engraved Concrete

Engraved concrete lets you add detailed patterns, logos or personal designs to the surface, which makes it a way to create an outdoor space nobody else has.

Overlays for Resurfacing

An overlay system refreshes existing concrete and brings a worn-out patio or walkway back to life. It's a cost-effective way to get a new look without replacing the concrete underneath.

Stamped concrete has a timeless look, polished concrete a modern one, and the rest of these finishes give you plenty of other ways to make an outdoor living area suit your taste. If you'd like help choosing a finish for your patio or walkway, contact us for an estimate.
