Kemiko Cola stained pool deck. Staining this pool deck was a cost-effective way to add color and beauty.

This pool deck was a remodel of an existing deck. The original flagstone coping was flaking and falling apart. Stamped concrete was used to replace the coping.

Winner of a 2012 ASCC Decorative Concrete Council Award - First Place Certificate in Concrete Artistry, Under 5000 SF.
This project consisted of 800 sq. ft. of new concrete poured to extend a 150 sq. ft. existing pad into a beautiful outdoor area. The new section included building 2 sitting walls that followed the curve of the outside edge of the patio. A vine-like design flows throughout the space and wraps around the sitting walls. A black acid stain heavily diluted was used as the base color with a full strength black acid stain on the vines and a slightly diluted black on the leaves. A dark walnut acid stain creates the illusion of shadows underneath the vines and leaves. The patio was sealed with a UV stable solvent-based sealer.

This pool project in Yorba Linda, CA. features 30% precast concrete and 70% hand sculpted concrete to create this realistic water feature. A 30 foot slide was incorporated into the rock feature. R-Crete semi transparent stone stains and seals were use to give the rocks their color.

Residential pool deck incorporating three looks to create a unified design. The first look is a stamped border. The second look is heavy sand blasted bands that intersect the deck. The third look is basic concrete with light sand blasting.

Existing residential pool deck and patio overlayed with integral color and a tinted sealer.

This is a residential driveway that was overlayed on an existing concrete surface, stamped with a textured pattern and saw cut with a border and diamond pattern.

Project Highlights: 2500 square feet, multiple levels, stamped and colored

Project Highlights: Acid stained, custom blend of pigmented sealers

The unique texture on this pool deck at a residence in Mason, OH was created through slate textured stamps. The colors used were Adobe buff hardener and Terra cotta release. The cantilever coping was also textured and colored to match the decking.

This unique three-tiered pool is surrounded by an earth-toned, salt-finished, concrete pool deck.
