Decorative concrete that looks good and stays put

Decorative concrete is concrete with color, texture or shine worked into it, such as a stain, colored concrete, a stamped pattern, exposed aggregate where the stones show, or a polished face. Most calls we get are about a plain patio, walk or pool deck, or a concrete retaining wall someone would like to match.

We can pour a new slab or lay an overlay, a cement-based layer, on what's there. If your old slab is cracked or sinking, I find out why first, because a pretty surface over a slab that's still moving tends not to hold. Price turns on that repair, the size and how many finishes you combine. Timing turns on weather and curing, the wait while concrete hardens before you use it.

Your choices for decorative concrete

Get a quote
  1. A new decorative slab

    This suits a new patio, walk or pool deck, or a slab too far gone to save, because the color and texture go in from the start.

  2. Overlay on old concrete

    This suits a slab that's sound underneath but plain or worn, since a new top layer can carry color and texture without tearing anything out.

  3. Stain or integral color

    Integral color is mixed into the whole batch, and a stain colors only the top. A light coat of topical sealer, put on at the right time, deepens either one.

  4. Stamped, exposed or polished

    A stamped pattern or exposed stones suit outdoor slabs, while a polished face suits indoor work such as concrete floor installation.
