Concrete is often pictured as dark warehouse floors. Concrete can do a lot more than that. Concrete stamped with concrete can look like any stonework. There are many different colors that can be used, making each "paver," look totally natural. Concrete can be used to make artistic designs. You can do anything with our team.
After you've cleaned your driveway, check it for cracks and deeply spalled areas. If necessary, patch any damaged areas with patching compound. The driveway should be hosed down to saturation. Next, use a broom for removing any standing water. This cools down the slab, and prevents any mixing water from getting out of the concrete resurfacer that you are going to lay. Take a moment to think about the weather. For the concrete resurfacers to cure, temperatures should be above 50°F for 8 hours and above freezing 24 hours. It's safe for you to move on to the next step as long as these conditions are met.
Cracks can happen for many reasons. Improper subgrade preparation, poor concrete mixes, or shrinkage during curing are all possible causes of cracks. Cracking and other surface issues can also be caused due to weather events like freeze-thaw cycles.
Concrete is porous so it easily absorbs liquids. This can result in unsightly stains, freeze-and–thaw cycle damage, and even a loss of concrete. It's crucial to seal concrete that may be exposed to liquids or weather outside.
This driveway demonstrates the impact that one design and one color can create. The driveway was integrally stained with silver pigment and accented in charcoal powdered releases agent. The European cobblestone patterns complement the red brick sidewalks.
This stamped concrete driveway perfectly matches the style of this brick home. The entire project featured a seamless granite design, with the borders and bands. The main concrete blocks were colored with walnut release agent and a sand-color hardener. The decorative borders, however, were custom colored to match shutters and trim.
It's not easy to enjoy a space or walk when it isn't level, uneven, or too small. Our team can make this a reality.
