Concrete Staining

Concrete staining is used to add color to concrete by penetrating the surface and reacting with the material itself. Stains create natural, variegated tones that become part of the concrete rather than sitting on top of it.

Concrete staining is ideal for:

  • Driveways

  • Patios

  • Walkways

  • Pool decks

Because stains soak into the concrete, the finish won’t peel or flake and offers a long-lasting, natural look.

Concrete Antiquing

Concrete antiquing is a decorative process typically applied to stamped or textured concrete. Over time, the antique wears off, and the surface will need reapplication. Antiquing highlights surface details, textures, and patterns by adding contrast and depth, giving the concrete a more natural, stone-like appearance.

First, the concrete is washed. Then, the new antique is applied. Lastly, the concrete must be sealed again before you can enjoy your new patio.

Antiquing is commonly used on:

  • Stamped concrete

  • Decorative patios

  • Walkways and entryways

This 3 step process enhances the details of the concrete rather than changing the base color, making patterns and textures stand out.
