Decorative Concrete Finishes
Stamped Concrete
Stamping concrete otherwise known as textures or imprinted concrete, is such a simple yet elegant process in which you can get your creative juices flowing. With different types of rubber stamps and colour options, it really is up to your imagination on what you can do with stamped concrete. With this combo you can have you concrete look like brick, cobblestone, limestone, slate, and even tiles. It is the perfect option to give some extra appeal to your driveway, floors, pathways, and your patio. One of our favorite looks is to combine stamped and exposed aggregate together to create some truly unique designs. A driveway with exposed aggregate in the middle bordered by a brick like stamped design can look incredible.

Exposed Aggregate ConcreteExposed aggregate concrete, a finish that has been around for quite some time, is a simple yet elegant option that creates a visually appealing surface that resembles a sea of small stones and pebbles. This finish is achieved by using a concrete mix with a higher sediment content, resulting in a higher surface of rock content. Once the concrete is poured, the top layer is removed to reveal the aggregate underneath. This technique offers a wide variety of surface types as different types, shapes, and sizes of rocks can be used in the concrete mix. Additionally, the texture created by the stones makes exposed aggregate a great option for surfaces such as driveways, pathways, stairs, pool decks, and patios.

Concrete StainingConcrete staining is an effective way to enhance the appearance of new or existing concrete surfaces. Unlike traditional methods, such as painting or applying acrylics, staining penetrates the concrete and creates a translucent effect, similar to the way wood is stained. This not only gives a luxurious feel to the concrete, but also creates a more durable and long-lasting finish. Additionally, staining concrete allows for a variety of unique designs and finishes, such as the appearance of polished marble or natural stone, or the color of stained wood. In contrast, paint or acrylics may peel over time, requiring costly maintenance and ultimately costing more in the long run.
