Decorative Concrete can bring disparate concrete surfaces together

Concrete surfaces that are unevenly matched and ugly can have many causes. There are some obvious reasons and others that aren't.

• Add an extension to a concrete slab
• Mixing concrete in separate batches for a single project
• Repairing concrete that is damaged
• Use degreasers or strong cleaners for stain removal

This patio extension's new concrete will not match the old concrete. However, a decorative concrete overlay can be applied to make it look better.

Concrete can take on a variety of colors, including a blotchy appearance that shows dark or light-colored sections. This is unacceptable. Concrete must be mixed in exact proportions to ensure that the concrete matches. The final appearance of the concrete can be affected by adding more or less water and other additives. Because it is almost impossible to match color and texture, pounded concrete will always look "patchwork". Concrete can be affected by weather and time. While cleaners can remove some spots, they can also bleach sections of concrete to make them lighter than the rest. This can lead to a mismatched concrete driveway or patio, walkway, porch, porch, or deck. It is not what you want. There are solutions. Our decorative concrete solutions can make any concrete look new again!

Unifying mismatched concrete extensions

The color of a concrete patio extension will vary from that of the original slab, as shown in the above photo. To unify the space, a resurfacing decorative concrete overcoat will give them a new face. It can be stained, stamped or hand-cut in the faux stone flagstone finish shown below. The patio looks so big that it doesn't seem like it was ever there, and no one would guess that it's an extension.

For one design, decorative concrete overlays can remove all trace of mismatched concrete sections.

Restoring an old, unattractive driveway

Your driveway is the most difficult concrete surface to work with. The driveway can support vehicle traffic, bicycles, skateboards and basketball. However, it is susceptible to weather changes that could cause permanent damage. You may have patched cracks and cleaned up oil drips, dirt, and grime. Maybe you even added an extension to an older driveway. This all contributes to a severely damaged concrete driveway. The "before" driveway is a good example of all the damage that has been done to concrete driveways. It's also reducing curb appeal and the overall appearance of the house. The ugly driveway was transformed by a stamped concrete overcoat that covered all the damage.
