| DRIVEWAYS
The best choice depends on factors like climate, soil conditions, budget, and a homeowner's preference for usable space.
Standard Poured Concrete: The most common option, this involves pouring a smooth, solid slab of plain gray concrete. It's durable, versatile, and provides a clean, classic look.
Stamped Concrete: This process involves pressing a mold or "stamp" into the wet concrete to create a textured pattern. It can mimic the look of more expensive materials like brick, cobblestone, slate, or flagstone.
Exposed Aggregate: The top layer of concrete is washed away to reveal the natural beauty of the stones and pebbles (the "aggregate") within the mix. This creates a unique, highly textured, and slip-resistant surface.
Broom Finished: A broom is dragged across the wet concrete to create a slightly rough, textured surface. This is a simple and effective method for improving traction and providing a non-slip finish.
Stained or Colored Concrete: A coloring agent or stain is added to the concrete mix or applied to the surface after it has cured. This allows for a wide range of colors to match or complement a home's exterior.
Paver-style Concrete: This involves pouring concrete in a way that mimics the look of individual pavers, often with a stamped or saw-cut pattern. It offers the aesthetic of pavers with the durability and lower maintenance of a solid concrete slab.

The best choice depends on factors like climate, soil conditions, budget, and a homeowner's preference for usable space.
Standard Poured Concrete: The most common choice, involving a smooth, solid slab of gray concrete. It is durable, cost-effective, and suitable for both residential and commercial walkways and steps.
Exposed Aggregate: A process where the surface is washed to reveal the decorative stones and pebbles within the concrete mix. This provides a visually appealing, textured, and slip-resistant surface, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.
Broom Finish: A standard finish for sidewalks and stairs, created by dragging a broom across the surface of the wet concrete. The resulting texture provides excellent traction, which is a critical safety feature for walkways and steps.
Stamped Concrete: Molds are pressed into the wet concrete to create patterns that mimic other materials like brick, cobblestone, or flagstone. This is a popular decorative option that adds a high-end look.
Colored or Stained Concrete: A variety of colors can be mixed into the concrete or applied to the finished surface, allowing for a custom look that complements the surrounding landscape or building design.
Paver-style Concrete: The concrete is poured and then cut or stamped to resemble individual pavers. This gives the look of a traditional paver walkway or staircase but with the durability and stability of a solid concrete slab.
Striping or Scoring: Lines are cut or molded into the concrete surface to create a linear pattern. This adds visual interest and can also help with water drainage on flat walkways.
| POOL DECKS & PATIOS
The best choice depends on factors like climate, soil conditions, budget, and a homeowner's preference for usable space.
Broom Finish: A standard, widely-used option for its excellent slip resistance. The broom finish provides a slightly rough texture, making it a safe choice for areas that will be wet, like pool decks and patios.
Exposed Aggregate: The top layer of concrete is removed to reveal the beautiful, natural stones and pebbles beneath. This option is highly durable, non-slip, and adds a unique, decorative look.
Stamped Concrete: Molds are pressed into the wet concrete to create textures and patterns that can replicate the look of natural stone, slate, brick, or wood. This is a very popular decorative option for patios and pool decks, offering a high-end look at a more affordable price.
Colored or Stained Concrete: Color pigments are mixed directly into the concrete or applied as a stain after the concrete has cured. This allows for a wide range of colors to complement the surrounding landscape or home exterior.
Salt Finish: Coarse salt is broadcast over the surface of the wet concrete and then washed away after it sets, leaving small, shallow indentations. This creates a subtle, pockmarked texture that is both decorative and slip-resistant.
Borders and Saw Cuts: Strategic cuts are made into the concrete to create a pattern, often in a square or geometric grid. These lines can be filled with a contrasting color to create a border or a unique design.
