Patios & Back Yards
Whole yards taken from dirt to a finished slab, scored on a grid and pitched so the water leaves the house.
All eight services
What we pour
The surface is what you look at for forty years.
Stamped flagstone, integral colour, salt and trowel finishes, and sealer that brings the colour up: the visible one percent of the job, done properly.
How we do it
The job behind the photograph.
Two identical slabs part ways in the last hour of the pour. The finish is a timing trade: every pass (float, trowel, broom, stamp) has a window, and the window is read off the concrete, not off a watch. That is why the finisher who quotes the job is the one standing on it when that hour comes.
Stamped work is flagstone, slate or stone textures pressed into the surface with colour released into the joints, then sealed so the colour reads wet. Integral colour goes into the mix at the plant, so the colour runs the full depth of the slab, so a chip shows the same colour, not grey. Between those sit the quiet finishes: a fine broom laid in one direction, a salt finish for a soft mottled texture, smooth steel trowel where grip is not a concern.
Sealer is the maintenance conversation nobody has until the gloss goes: stamped and coloured work wants resealing every few years, and we tell you that before you choose it, because the right finish is the one you will still be glad of when the sealer is due.

Honest advice
Included
If a finish is wrong for the spot (a slick trowel around a pool, say), we say so.
