Broom Finish

Broom finish patios are a great way to keep things simple and also the most cost effective option. The broom finish gives it a slight texture to it, providing traction even if the concrete gets wet or it's raining outside. As you can see in the photos above, we can integrate steps or a staircase in the patio, ensuring everything matches and provising a safe walkout for elevated doorways. You can also choose to add color to a broom finish patio to have it be any color you desire! They do not have to be white in color.
Exposed Aggregate

Exposed aggregate finish has been around since the 1930's developed by John J. Early. While it is not a modern day technique, many people love the look it produces with all the beautiful colors of the peastone showing through. It is created by using peastone as the aggregate for the concrete mix and then applying a retarding agent to the surface once the patio is installed. After the base of the concrete has cured enough to walk on, the surface is washed away exposing all the natural colors of the peastone. It often is also tint sealed, meaning using a subtle colored sealer to provide an overall tone throughout. This is most commonly applied in a brown tone.
Stamped Concrete
Stamped Concrete has become very popular over the years. It allows you to control every aspect of the finished product offering multiple integrated, many pattern to choose from, and offering that high gloss shine. While being one of the more expensive options due to the amount of materials and labor that goes into making one of these artistic pieces. the flare and beauty they can provide is unmatched. Below are some pattern options along with color charts.
