Let’s take a look at our most popular concrete services in Elk Grove:

Colored Concrete 

When you want your concrete to stand out with more than just old-fashioned gray, colored concrete is the best solution. Colored concrete costs only a little bit more than standard concrete and can be prepared and applied quickly. It comes in a full range of colors – nearly anything you can imagine, from the most vibrant hues to the most subtle neutral shades. The color never fades and the concrete is easy to clean and maintain.

Stamped Concrete 

Northern California stamped concrete is popular for a decorative concrete option that works well with both residential concrete and commercial concrete projects. Stamped concrete is both cost-effective and very low maintenance. It can simulate materials like marble, tile, and wood to add a touch of luxury at a much reduced cost per square foot. The secret is the combination of base colors and accents to give a textured appearance.

Exposed Aggregate Concrete 

What is concrete made of? Northern California concrete is usually mixed with a natural “aggregate,” such as stones, pebbles, or shells. This adds bulk and strength to the concrete mixture, can it can also do more. It’s a terrific way to give your concrete character by ensuring the aggregate layer is exposed. This adds texture and contrasts the usual appearance of concrete while still providing for a strong, slip resistant surface.

Salt Finish Concrete in Elk Grove

Salt finish is one of the most sought after concretes for pathways, sidewalks, patios, and pool decks. With its distinctive speckled appearance, it provides a much more luxurious look that you may have seen at hotels or resorts in the past. It has a noticeable texture as well. It is more subtle than exposed aggregate but just right for safeguarding your family and guests against slipping and falling, thanks to pits and indentations.

Acid Finish Concrete 

A fast and efficient way to change the natural properties of concrete is to use the appropriate finish. One of the best finishes for concrete is the acid finish. Just as with other materials, acid interacts with the topmost layer of the concrete. In the case of concrete, this provides a marbled effect utterly unlike anything else available. Every acid finished concrete slab is different, based on the age and composition of the underlying concrete.

Basic Broom Finish Concrete 

The basic broom finish is the right fit for most driveways but can also be used for walkways and patio surfaces. It is created by dragging a specialized broom over the concrete while it is still in the setting process. This has a similar effect to polishing the concrete, making it especially easy to clean and care for while giving it a subtle grip.
