What is Architectural Concrete?

Architectural concrete is a specialized form of concrete that blends aesthetic appeal with structural integrity, making it distinct from both traditional and decorative concrete. While traditional concrete is primarily valued for its durability and strength, and decorative concrete focuses on visual enhancement, architectural concrete uniquely combines both of these aspects. Architectural concrete is an ideal choice for homeowners looking to create outdoor spaces that are both beautiful and functional. By combining the best qualities of traditional and decorative concrete, it offers a unique solution that enhances the aesthetic appeal of your home while providing the durability and low maintenance benefits you need. Whether you're looking to design a patio, walkway, driveway, or pool deck, architectural concrete can help you achieve a luxurious and lasting result.

Benefits of Architectural Concrete

Architectural concrete combines aesthetic versatility and practical benefits, making it an ideal choice for enhancing your outdoor space. It offers a wide range of finishes, colors, and patterns to suit various design styles, ensuring a unique and visually appealing result. Despite its focus on aesthetics, architectural concrete retains the durability of traditional concrete, providing a long-lasting solution that withstands weather conditions and heavy use. Its low-maintenance nature means minimal upkeep and easy cleaning, while its eco-friendly properties offer sustainable and energy-efficient options that reduce environmental impact. Additionally, the cost-effectiveness of architectural concrete lies in its longevity and minimal maintenance needs, providing value over time. The high level of customization allows for unique, personalized designs that cater to individual tastes and preferences, making architectural concrete a superior choice for transforming your outdoor space into a functional and beautiful work of art.

Types of Architectural Concrete Services We Offer

Smooth Concrete

Smooth concrete provides a sleek, polished look that is both modern and timeless. This finish is achieved through meticulous troweling, resulting in a surface that is smooth to the touch and visually appealing. Ideal for surfaces like patios, walkways, and pool decks, smooth concrete offers a minimalist aesthetic that enhances the clean lines and open spaces of contemporary landscape design.


Coloured Concrete

Coloured concrete enhances your space with a variety of hues that can match any design vision. This technique involves adding color to the concrete mix or applying color to the surface, creating vibrant and long-lasting finishes. Whether you want subtle earth tones or bold, eye-catching colors, coloured concrete offers endless possibilities for customization.


Exposed Aggregate

Exposed aggregate involves removing the top layer of concrete to reveal the natural stones embedded within it. This process creates a distinctive, textured surface that is both visually appealing and slip-resistant. Exposed aggregate is ideal for driveways, walkways, and pool decks, providing a unique and attractive finish that enhances the overall look of your property.


Acid Etch Finish

Acid etched concrete creates a unique, textured surface by applying acid solutions that lightly etch the surface of the concrete. This technique enhances the visual appeal while providing a slip-resistant finish, making it ideal for patios, walkways, and pool decks. This type of concrete adds character and sophistication to any project.


Sandblasted Finish

Sandblasted finish is also known as limestone finish. It adds texture and depth to your concrete surfaces by blasting them with sand. This process removes the top layer of concrete, revealing the underlying texture and creating a matte finish. Sandblasted finishes are suitable for both decorative and functional applications, offering a unique look that enhances the visual appeal of your project.


Broom Finish

Broom finishes create textured, non-slip surfaces that are perfect for outdoor areas. These finishes are achieved by dragging a broom across the surface of the wet concrete, creating fine lines and patterns. Broom finishes are commonly used for driveways, sidewalks, and pool decks, providing safety and durability.


Custom Concrete Designs

Customized Patterns and Textures

We offer tailor-made patterns and textures to suit your style and preferences. Our custom concrete designs can replicate the look of natural stone, brick, or even wood, allowing you to create unique surfaces that reflect your personal taste. These customized designs add a distinct touch to your landscape, ensuring a one-of-a-kind result that enhances the overall beauty and functionality of your outdoor space.


Engraving and Etching

Engraving and etching techniques allow you to personalize your concrete surfaces with detailed designs, patterns, and messages. Using specialized tools, we can create intricate engravings and etchings that add an artistic element to your concrete. This customization option is perfect for adding logos, monograms, or decorative borders to your concrete features.


Applications of Architectural Concrete


Driveways and Walkways

Enhance your property's curb appeal with durable and stylish driveways and walkways. Architectural concrete provides a variety of design options, from stamped patterns to exposed aggregate finishes, ensuring your driveways and walkways are both functional and visually appealing.


Patios and Outdoor Living Spaces

Create beautiful and functional outdoor spaces for relaxation and entertainment. Whether you want a cozy patio for family gatherings or a luxurious outdoor living area, providing a perfect retreat for relaxation, entertaining guests, and enjoying nature, architectural concrete can be customized to suit your lifestyle and design preferences.


Pool Decks

Design safe and attractive pool decks that withstand water and weather. Architectural concrete is slip-resistant and durable, making it an ideal choice for pool decks. Choose from a range of finishes and colors to create a stunning and practical poolside area.


Our Process


Step 1: Design

We will work with you to design a custom decorative concrete plan that suits your vision and style. During this initial meeting, we discuss your project goals, design ideas, and budget. Based on this information, we provide you with sketches, drawings, 3D models, or samples to help you visualize your project. We collaborate with you to choose the perfect type of decorative concrete, selecting the right colors, patterns, textures, and finishes that represent your style and complement your home's design. Once the design is finalized, we review it with you for approval, making any necessary adjustments to ensure it meets your expectations.


Step 2: Site Preparation & Excavation

We inspect and excavate your site in preparation for installation. This process generally includes removing weeds or old pavement, leveling and compacting the soil, and laying a gravel base.


Step 3: Installation

The installation phase involves building the framework for the concrete before mixing and pouring it into place. Our skilled installers follow the approved design, carefully placing and finishing the concrete elements to achieve the desired look and function. During this stage, reinforcements, including expansion joints, are added where necessary to ensure stability and durability.


Step 4: Finishing

All decorative concrete is finished with architectural control cuts to redirect cracking, increasing the longevity of the concrete. The decorative concrete is then treated with appropriate sealers, coatings, or treatments to protect and enhance the surface. For those seeking a limestone finish, acid-etching is performed at this stage to achieve the desired look.

While traditional concrete is known for its strength and resilience, architectural concrete provides these same benefits with the added advantage of enhanced aesthetic appeal. Both types of concrete are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, heavy use, and environmental stresses. However, architectural concrete includes additional treatments and finishes that can further protect the surface and prolong its lifespan. When properly installed and maintained, architectural concrete can last just as long as, if not longer than, traditional concrete, making it a valuable investment for any outdoor space.

Testimonials

Whatever I thought that I wanted for my backyard, was not even close to what I am now enjoying! You guys are absolutely amazing and my expectations are totally exceeded. Just an excellent job in every sense. From plants to sod to steps. Thank you for the great suggestions and the superb workmanship. Can't wait to see how much higher my property is now valued. I've received compliments and requests for referrals no less than 5 times already in the past week. And we have happily recommended Precision each time. Best regards!

Precision Landscaping is a company I would highly recommend to do business with. Steve is a talented designer when it comes to helping you get everything you can out of your yard space. Both Steve and Martein are super responsive, respectful of your time, and knowledgeable in whatever it is you might ask them. Their crew was fantastic, on time, worked hard, cleaned up every day before leaving. Our project took 10 days to complete and we are completely satisfied love it how it turned out. Precision Landscaping gave is the exact space we were hoping to have.

Steve and his crew are great. Our back yard was a muddy, scrubby weed patch. They cleared it out, levelled it, put in a slab for my new hot tub, and installed an awesome paver patio complete with stone benches and a big fire pit. It turned out way nicer than we were hoping for. What was essentially wasted space is now a great backyard hangout area. And we have to note Steve did a great job of suggesting ideas, since we started out a bit unsure of what we wanted the end result to be. We've already recommended them to a couple friends, and we will continue to do so. And in the meantime we'll be cooling off in the backyard.
