Decorative Concrete Overlays Open Up A World Of Decorating Possibilities

Sometimes you just have to know the right people. For incredible decorative concrete transformations, all you need to know is Concrete Craft®! From outdoor patios, driveways, and pool decks to interior floors, as well as vertical surfaces like accent walls, retaining walls, and fireplace surrounds, our craftsmen can work wonders in transforming your spaces without the need for demolition and replacement of ugly, damaged, or severely outdated concrete.

Four incredible before-and-after projects will show the versatility and beauty that is decorative concrete and how it can completely transform your home or business with authentic-looking faux stone, wood, and artistic finishes to your concrete surfaces.

Time-warp transformation for a front porch and entryway

This older family home was showing its decade with the outdated design at the entryway. The concrete planters were discolored and ugly from years of grime and deteriorated tile, and the planters restricted the usable porch area to a single walkway to the front door. Concrete Craft of Columbia, SC, stripped decades away with a modern design that expanded the porch and gave new life to the vertical planter walls with a decorative concrete faux stone design. And no demolition is required! 

• The remaining tile and glue were removed, the planters filled, a moisture seal applied and vertical concrete resurfacing to the outside surface with a stamped and hand-carved stacked stone design.
• The expanded porch floor received a resurfaced concrete overlay, a stamped decorative concrete Ashlar slate pattern, and custom concrete stain.
• The overall sealed surfaces will give years of beauty and functionality with minimum maintenance requirements to keep the porch and entryway looking like new.

Enhance curb appeal with a resurfaced, decorative concrete driveway

A long driveway is only enchanting if it’s in good condition. This driveway’s surface had failed after only six months and was rescued and restored by Concrete Craft of Knoxville, TN, transforming it into a showpiece in the neighborhood.

• The failed broom finish was resurfaced with a decorative concrete overlay to cover discoloration, uneven spots, and cracks.
• The new overlay was then hand-cut into a flagstone pattern and custom-colored to create an authentic-looking faux stone driveway.
• The attention to detail in individually carved stones and hand-applied stain gives the appearance of real grouted stone, but the continuous, sealed surface eliminates any pesky weeds popping up in the grout lines.

Vibrant colored concrete can change your world

This homeowner’s million-dollar lake and golf course views were spoiled by a previous concrete finish that had yellowed out on their patio and pool deck, creating an uninviting ambiance. She wanted an outdoor area that enhanced the views, not detracted from them. Concrete Craft of Sarasota, FL, gave her the elegant and sophisticated design she desired with stamped concrete.

• The dingy, dirty pool deck was brought up to speed with a decorative concrete overlay that presented a fresh, new finish.
• The overlay was stamped with an Ashlar Slate pattern and stained in a warm, classic gray for the pool deck area.
• The Roman slate texture was stamped in adjacent covered patio areas and stained a vibrant Sarasota Blue to complement her existing hardscapes and décor, keeping ambiance and views beautifully intact.

Unbelievable creativity knows no bounds

Concrete Craft of Brentwood, TN, created a commercial patio finish that is ideal for the county music vibe of nearby Nashville. The apartment complex wanted its unique guitar-shaped patio to have some real pizzazz without altering the traction of the original concrete slab.

• A custom stencil was created to mimic the look of strings tied into a pickup and the concrete was engraved to create the look of a real guitar.
• Challenges included a product that could withstand the scorching summer sun of Tennessee without the colors fading, and without the need for constant resealing.
• An industry-tough penetrating concrete stain used for amusement parks and water parks created a surface that can withstand the full summer sun without changing the texture and traction of the patio’s surface.
