Traditional Flatwork
Flatwork includes all concrete work located along a horizontal plane. This includes indoors projects like floors or concrete stairs, as well as outdoor elements like patios, sidewalks, and driveways. Concrete flatwork does not refer to vertical structures like walls or bridges. These two types of concrete work are generally divided in this manner because of the difference in skills and techniques required to successfully complete each type. While flatwork is relatively simple and requires basic tools, other concrete work is generally much more complex and may require substantial engineering and reinforcement.
Concrete Stamping
Stamped concrete is a technique that originated back in the 1950’s. You can enjoy stamped pavement for its colorful hues and intrinsic patterns which is similar to marble, stone, and wood without the huge expenses. Stamped concrete permits the mixing and creating of endless designs and hues with the combination of different concrete colors, textures and patterns. The popularity of this concrete work stems from the fact that stamped concrete offers both aesthetic appeal and heavy-duty quality. Enjoy the endless possibilities in creating and mixing different concrete colors and concrete textures with stamped pavement. Contact us today for a free quote.
Textured Concrete Patios
On top of attending to your stamped concrete needs, we also work with textured concrete – a similar yet different type of decorative concrete. Textured concrete is formed when, before the concrete dries, a trained technician lays a design into the mixture. The result is a singular unit of concrete that does not appear to be sectional. Stamped concrete, in contrast, appears to be made up of various repeating sections. You’ll wow the neighbors, that’s for sure! Textured concrete definitely stands out among the sea of uniform greys that are most concrete structures. If you’re looking to express your personality or simply gain the envy of a passerby, textured concrete might be a renovation you should consider.
Acid Stain Concrete
Staining imparts a luxurious richness that can’t be achieved by any other coloring medium. Rather than produce a solid, opaque effect like paint, stains permeate the concrete to infuse it with luminous, translucent tones that vary depending on the surface they are applied to and the application techniques used. The results can mimic everything from polished marble to tanned leather to natural stone or even stained wood. Stains for concrete come in two general categories: acid-based chemical stains and water-based acrylics. Both types of stain can be applied to new or old and plain or integrally colored concrete. They are especially effective for revitalizing dull, lackluster surfaces.
Pools
Concrete pools offer property owners plenty of surface finish options, whether it is pebbles, tiles, mosaic, or other decorative materials. The pool structure is built using strong, durable concrete, but the external surface can assume just about any design imaginable. These outstanding qualities are just some of the reasons why this is the preferred pool type of many homeowners and business owners.

Garages
Garage slabs take a lot of abuse and have to support heavy cars and trucks and resist ice, dirt, salty water, de-icers, gasoline, motor oil, antifreeze, and other contaminants. Since few garages are heated, they have to tolerate freeze/thaw conditions. But a garage slab that has been carefully planned, installed, and cured should have no trouble providing years of crack-free performance in any climate, even under the toughest conditions. Commercial concrete contractors do this kind of work every day; adopt their attention to detail and you’ll meet their high standard of quality, without having to raise your prices.
