Our Projects

Concrete can be used as flooring, benchtops, planter boxes, floating entry treads…and so on. It is a cost effective natural material which is readily available. It has a low embodied energy with minimal wastage which is particularly appealing for clients who prioritize sustainability.

The possibilities are only limited by your imagination when it comes to concrete.  The examples of our work below are sure to inspire and motivate you to dream up your own perfect oasis.  Share it with us to make it a reality!

Plain Concrete with Broom Finish

The broom finish of the concrete is a rough textured finish obtained by dragging a broom on the troweled surface of the concrete while the concrete is still fresh.

Dragging the broom over fresh concrete surface creates small ridges that provide for traction control and slip-resistance.

Exposed Aggregate

The construction of exposed concrete finish is to have leveled concrete floor surface, distribute aggregate evenly, and keep air voids to as minimum as possible.

An exposed aggregate finish gives a stylish appearance and great traction for foot paths, steps, driveways, and more!

Stamped Concrete

The stamped concrete finish is obtained by pressing the required patterns on the freshly leveled concrete. This type of concrete finish, after completion of their construction, looks similar to stones such as slates or flagstones, brick, tile or, with proper skill, they can look similar to wood.

Stamped concrete finish is a very intelligent and innovative innovation in concrete widely applied for flooring in patios, porches, driveways, sidewalks and even interior garage floors.

Combined Finishes

By combining concrete finishes for different elements of your project we can achieve something truly unique and awe inspiring.
Like the examples below, you can have the versatility and polished look of natural stone by using stamped and coloured concrete on edges and accents without sacrificing safety by using exposed aggregate, or brushed plain concrete on those high traffic surfaces like your walkways and driveway.  Functional, durable, head turning accents to your home's landscape that fit into any budget.
