Concrete Services

Concrete,
reimagined.

Stamped, polished and exposed-aggregate concrete — installed with the same precision we bring to resin stone. For clients who prefer the warmth and permanence of traditional materials.

N°01 The Material

Three finishes.
One craft.

We don't pour generic slabs. Every concrete project is shaped by hand — stamped with custom patterns, polished to a satin sheen, or seeded with exposed aggregate for tactile texture. Each finish serves a different architectural intent, and we help you choose.

Freeze-thaw rated Salt-resistant Reinforced mesh
N°02 Finishes

Four ways to
finish concrete.

Each technique produces a distinct character. We match the finish to your architecture, your climate, and how you live outdoors.

Slate & Stone Patterns

Pressed while wet with custom mats — ashlar slate, random stone, cobblestone. Pigmented integrally so colour runs deep.

Best for: Driveways Slip-resistant
Polished concrete patio with satin sheen reflecting golden hour light
N°002 · Polished

Satin Polished

Ground and polished to a smooth, reflective surface. Densified for stain resistance. Contemporary and minimal.

Best for: Patios Low maintenance
Exposed aggregate walkway with natural river stone texture
N°003 · Exposed

Exposed Aggregate

Surface retarder reveals embedded stone — river rock, quartz, black granite. Naturally slip-resistant and tactile.

Best for: Walkways Natural texture

Bespoke Inlays

Saw cuts, colour bands, logo medallions, integrated drains. Concrete as a canvas for architectural detail.

N°04 Process

From excavation
to cure.

Every concrete project follows a proven sequence — engineered for Ontario's freeze-thaw cycles and finished by hand.

  1. 01

    Site Prep & Formwork

    Excavation to proper depth, compacted gravel base, and steel reinforcement mesh. We grade for drainage before a single yard is poured.

    1 day · Critical for longevity
  2. 02

    Pour & Finish

    High-strength concrete mix with air entrainment for freeze-thaw resistance. Stamped, polished or seeded while plastic. Control joints placed precisely.

    1 day · Weather-dependent
  3. 03

    Cure & Seal

    Seven-day wet cure for maximum strength. Penetrating sealant applied to repel water, salt and UV — the difference between a 5-year and a 25-year surface.

    7 days · Do not rush this
  4. 04

    Aftercare & Lifespan

    Seasonal maintenance guide, resealing schedule, and 25-year structural lifespan. We check in at one year and five years.

    25 years · Full support
01 How long does stamped concrete last?

With proper installation and resealing every 2–3 years, stamped concrete lasts 25+ years in Ontario. The key is air-entrainment in the mix (for freeze-thaw) and a penetrating sealant that repels water and salt. Every pour carries a 25-year structural lifespan.

02 Does it crack? What if it does?

All concrete cracks — we control where. Control joints are placed every 8–10 feet and at stress points to guide cracks into invisible lines. Hairline cracks are normal and do not affect structural integrity. Larger cracks are covered under our warranty.

03 Can you match my existing concrete?

Yes. We take core samples or photos of your existing concrete and custom-blend pigments and aggregates to match age, weathering and texture. Perfect for additions, repairs, or transitions between old and new surfaces.

04 When can I use it after pouring?

Foot traffic in 24 hours. Vehicle traffic in 7 days — sooner only risks surface damage. We schedule pours to avoid freeze risk (minimum 3 days above 5°C) and protect the cure with insulated blankets if needed.
