Decorative concrete is a type of concrete enhanced through various techniques to provide aesthetic appeal along with traditional functionality. Some of its benefits include:
Aesthetic versatility — Decorative concrete can mimic other materials like brick, natural stone or even wood, providing countless design options.
Durability — Like standard concrete, decorative variants are incredibly durable and suitable for high-traffic areas.
Low maintenance — Unlike natural wood or stone, decorative concrete requires minimal upkeep.
Cost-effectiveness — It is often more affordable than other paving or flooring options, especially for larger areas.
Customisation — Decorative concrete can be tailored to fit specific design needs and personal preferences.

The cost of decorative concrete depends on several factors, such as the complexity of the design, the types and quality of materials used and the scale of the project. Basic staining or simple stamping patterns are generally more affordable, while intricate designs and advanced textural effects may cost more.

Typically, our decorative concrete solutions can last anywhere from 25 to 30 years or more. To ensure the longevity of your decorative concrete, make sure to do the following:
Regular cleaning — Sweep and wash the surface regularly to prevent dirt accumulation.
Apply a sealer — To protect the surface against moisture, stains and wear, apply a sealer every few years. This is especially important for exterior concrete.
Avoid harsh chemicals — Use gentle cleaning products specifically designed for use on decorative concrete to avoid damaging the surface.
