Decorative Concrete - Borders

Borders add dimension and depth to a decorative concrete piece and vary significantly. You can go from a basic saw cuts to intriquet details on both patterned stamped concreta and seamless textures. To make the border stand out even more, many times people will stain the outer saw cut a different color or even multiple colors. Again, it depends on your design aesthetic and what you envision your decorative concrete patio, sidewalk, driveway, interior, etc to look. Below are a few of the many options that are possible.

Decorative Stains

Artistic Statemens From Mild to Wild

Decorative Stains react with existing concrete to produce a patine or mottled natural stone look. You have the flexiblity to create a calming look of earth tones or a bold vibrant look with color.

Decorative staining any surface turns your plain concrete into our artistic canvas. In addition, you can combine stamping, decisiong scoring, polishing, and precast systems to create a beautiful, breathtaking finish to your surface.
