Residential Concrete Services
We provide durable and functional concrete solutions that improve both the look and the value of a home. Our work focuses on strength, precision, and finishes that fit the way people use their space every day.
Driveways and Walkways
We build driveways that can handle daily use and long-term wear. A well-poured driveway prevents cracks, reduces uneven surfaces, and supports the weight of vehicles without shifting. We use high-quality mixes and proper reinforcement to extend the lifespan of the surface.
Walkways need careful planning to ensure safe and smooth access around the property. We design them to connect entry points, gardens, and outdoor areas with clean lines and proper drainage.
Our team also offers options for finishes such as broom, smooth, or exposed aggregate. Each finish changes the look and traction of the surface, giving homeowners control over both appearance and safety.
Patios and Outdoor Living Spaces
We create patios that provide a solid foundation for outdoor seating, dining, or entertainment areas. Concrete patios hold up well against weather and require less upkeep than wood or pavers.
Design flexibility allows us to build patios in different shapes and sizes. We can also include borders, steps, or integrated seating areas to fit the layout of the yard.
For outdoor living spaces, we focus on surfaces that support grills, furniture, and foot traffic without shifting or sinking. Proper grading ensures water drains away from the home, protecting both the patio and the structure.
Stamped and Decorative Concrete
Stamped and decorative concrete lets us add style without losing strength. By pressing patterns into fresh concrete, we can mimic the look of stone, brick, or tile at a lower cost.
Color treatments such as integral color or surface stains make the finish more natural and customized. This allows homeowners to choose tones that match their home’s exterior or landscaping.
We seal stamped concrete to protect against fading, stains, and moisture. With the right care, these surfaces maintain their appearance while still delivering the durability of standard concrete.
Garage and Basement Floors
We install garage floors that resist oil, chemicals, and heavy loads from vehicles and equipment. A smooth and level surface makes cleaning easier and reduces wear on tires.
Basement floors require proper preparation to avoid moisture problems. We use vapor barriers and reinforcement when needed to create a reliable base for storage, living areas, or workshops.
Finishing options include polished, sealed, or coated surfaces. These treatments improve durability and appearance while helping to prevent dust and surface damage over time.
Commercial Concrete Solutions
We provide durable concrete work designed for high-traffic and heavy-use commercial spaces. Our focus is on creating surfaces that last, meet safety standards, and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
Parking Lots and Curbs
We build parking lots that can handle constant vehicle traffic without early cracking or surface wear. Proper grading ensures water drains correctly, which prevents pooling and surface damage.
Our team uses reinforced concrete mixes that improve load capacity. This helps reduce future repair needs and keeps the lot in service longer.
For curbs, we form clean lines that guide traffic and protect landscaping. Well-placed curbs also improve safety by separating pedestrian areas from driving lanes.
We also offer striping and joint sealing as part of parking lot preparation. These finishing touches improve visibility, extend surface life, and reduce upkeep.
Commercial Flooring
Concrete flooring in commercial buildings must balance durability, safety, and appearance. We install floors that resist heavy foot traffic, machinery, and spills.
To improve performance, we often use surface treatments such as polishing, sealing, or epoxy coatings. These options add stain resistance, increase slip protection, and make cleaning easier.
We also provide flooring solutions for specific industries. For example:
- Warehouses: high-strength slabs for forklifts and shelving
- Retail spaces: polished finishes for a clean and professional look
- Restaurants: sealed surfaces that resist moisture and stains
By tailoring the floor design to the business, we ensure it meets both functional and aesthetic needs.
Loading Docks and Ramps
Loading areas require concrete that can withstand constant heavy loads and impact from trucks. We design reinforced slabs that resist cracking under repeated stress.
Proper slope and alignment are critical for safe loading and unloading. We grade ramps to meet ADA standards where needed and ensure smooth transitions for equipment.
We also install safety features like non-slip textures and edge protection. These details reduce accidents and improve efficiency during daily operations.
Our approach focuses on long-term durability. By using thicker slabs and quality reinforcement, we minimize downtime caused by structural failures or surface wear.
Concrete Repairs and Maintenance
Commercial concrete surfaces eventually show wear from weather, traffic, and heavy use. We provide repair services that restore function without requiring full replacement.
Common repairs include:
- Crack sealing to stop water intrusion
- Surface patching for chipped or spalled areas
- Joint repair to prevent shifting and uneven surfaces
We also offer scheduled maintenance programs. These include inspections, cleaning, and resealing to extend the life of concrete surfaces.
By addressing small issues early, we help businesses avoid costly structural problems and keep operations running smoothly.
Custom Concrete Design
We provide options that let property owners shape concrete surfaces to match both style and function. By adjusting appearance, color, and finish, we create results that look polished while staying durable for daily use.
Color and Texture Options
We offer a wide range of colors and textures that allow concrete to blend with existing architecture or stand out as a design feature. Standard gray is common, but many clients choose warm earth tones, cool grays, or even bold shades.
Textures add depth and character. We can apply smooth finishes for a clean, modern look or more textured surfaces for slip resistance and visual interest. Popular textures include broom finishes, stamped patterns, and troweled surfaces.
To help with selection, we provide samples that show how colors and textures appear in natural light. This makes it easier to see how the finished surface will look in driveways, patios, or entryways.
Concrete Staining
Concrete staining adds long-lasting color that penetrates the surface instead of sitting on top. This creates a finish that resists fading and peeling. We use both acid-based and water-based stains depending on the desired outcome.
Acid stains react with the minerals in concrete, producing natural variations in tone. These are ideal when a more organic, stone-like appearance is preferred. Water-based stains, on the other hand, give us more control over uniform color and a wider palette of shades.
Stained concrete works well for both indoor and outdoor spaces. It can highlight walkways, enhance patios, or add a custom look to interior floors. We also apply protective sealers to improve durability and make cleaning easier.
Exposed Aggregate Finishes
Exposed aggregate finishes reveal the natural stones and pebbles within the concrete mix. This creates a decorative surface that is both attractive and slip-resistant. We achieve this by washing away the top layer of cement paste to expose the embedded materials.
The type of aggregate used affects the appearance. For example, smooth river stones create a softer look, while crushed stone gives more texture. Clients can choose from different sizes and colors of aggregate to match the surrounding landscape.
This finish is especially popular for driveways, walkways, and pool decks because it combines durability with traction. It also requires minimal maintenance once sealed, making it practical for high-traffic areas.
Concrete Installation Process
We follow a clear process that ensures concrete surfaces are durable, level, and built to last. Each phase focuses on accuracy, proper timing, and the right materials so the finished result performs well in both residential and commercial settings.
Site Preparation and Planning
We begin by evaluating the area where the concrete will be placed. This includes measuring the space, checking soil stability, and removing debris or vegetation. A solid base is essential for preventing cracks and uneven settling.
Next, we grade and compact the soil to create a stable surface. In many cases, we add a layer of crushed stone or gravel to improve drainage and support.
We then set up forms, which are sturdy barriers that shape the concrete and hold it in place while it hardens. These forms also help us control the exact thickness and edges of the slab.
Before moving to the next step, we double-check measurements, slope, and alignment to ensure water drains away from buildings and walkways. Proper planning at this stage reduces long-term maintenance issues.
Pouring and Finishing
Once the site is ready, we mix and pour the concrete into the prepared forms. We distribute the mix evenly to avoid air pockets or weak spots.
We then use tools such as screeds and floats to level the surface. This step ensures the slab is smooth and consistent across the entire area.
For certain projects, we may add reinforcement like rebar or wire mesh. This provides extra strength, especially for driveways, foundations, or commercial slabs that carry heavy loads.
After leveling, we apply finishing techniques based on the project needs. Options include a smooth trowel finish, a broom texture for slip resistance, or decorative patterns for patios and entryways.
Curing and Sealing
Curing is the process that allows concrete to gain strength over time. We keep the surface moist and protected during the first several days to prevent early cracking.
We monitor temperature and weather conditions to make sure the curing process happens evenly. Skipping this step can lead to weak or brittle concrete.
After curing, we often apply a sealer. Sealers protect against moisture, stains, and surface wear. They also make cleaning easier and extend the lifespan of the concrete.
Depending on the use, we may recommend resealing every few years. This helps maintain both the appearance and performance of the surface.
