The Process:

(click any photos to enlarge)

Step 1: Forming

We form the area we plan on pouring and stamping.


 

Step 2: Adding color

We add color to the concrete in the truck for the specified amount of color per yard as pre-measured by the bucket.

 


Step 3:
Bull floating concrete surface

We bull float and/or trowel the surface until it closes up and then we are almost ready to stamp.


Step 4: Applying release agent

When the concrete is ready to stamp, we apply desired release agent. Your release agent acts as barrier between the concrete and stamps, while giving you that antique appearance after washing off.

 

 

Step 5: Stamping concrete

The benefit of the stamp is the authentic appearance you receive.

 

Step 6: Washing off excess release agent

After three days, we use a low pressure power washer and scrub brush to remove the desired amount of release agent, leaving enough to accent your joint lines and achieving an antique appearance.

 

 

Step 7:
Sealing surface

After the surface is completely dry and free of moisture, we apply two coats of sealer. This can be either sprayed on or rolled on.


Finished Surface

What you have as a result is a beautiful surface that anyone would be proud to own.
