Decorative Concrete

What This Service Involves

Decorative concrete lets you achieve the look of stone, tile, or custom color at a fraction of the maintenance, and we finish it to survive our wet climate. Integral coloring, staining, and specialty textures are applied during the pour or onto existing surfaces, then locked in with sealers rated for freeze-thaw and UV exposure. The right sealer is critical here, because unprotected decorative work grows moss and loses color under Puget Sound's persistent damp. We match the finish to your home and grade for drainage so beauty does not come at the cost of function.

Benefits

Wide range of colors, patterns, and textures to choose from; Sealed surface resists moss, staining, and moisture; Costs less than natural stone or pavers; Slip-resistant finishes available for wet conditions; Custom look that complements your home and landscaping

Our Process

1) Review design options, colors, and finish samples; 2) Prepare or pour the base concrete surface; 3) Apply color, texture, or decorative treatment; 4) Seal for moisture, UV, and freeze-thaw protection

What Affects the Cost

Overall square footage of the project; Complexity of the color and pattern selected; New pour versus overlay on existing concrete; Number of sealer coats and protective additives; Surface preparation and design detailing required

Best Time of Year

Warm, dry conditions in summer produce the best color development and sealer bonding, since damp or cold weather interferes with curing and finishing.
