Indoor/Outdoor Applications/Repair & Restoration

Concrete is extremely popular as an essential building and design substance for many indoor and outdoor applications. Concrete finishes are extremely durable, easy to clean, and they resist water when properly sealed.

Need a slip resistant concrete restoration?

Concrete is a standard building material. A good portion of every home built consists of concrete of one form or another.

Concrete in outside features like driveways and steps is also the material of choice for these home features, but unlike your basement floor these are exposed to the wear and tear of the elements. Constant bombardment from our Canadian weather can lead to pitting, cracking and flaking, eventually rendering the concrete unsafe or at least unpleasant to look at.

Taking down and rebuilding a heavy concrete step for example, can cost thousands of dollars, not to mention days of demolition, interruption and reconstruction. Hardscapes can show you another alternative – concrete restoration. This option may be just what you need. The cost is about half of a removal and re-installation and the result is considerably more pleasing to the eye.

If you have a restoration project you’d like to get underway give us a call at 403-547-5597. We’d be happy to provide a free quote and consultation.

A look back at a gorgeous patio project

The professionals at Hardscapes are expert at working with concrete. Their designs and colours make any backyard concrete project outstanding. Stamping and polishing features combined with our artistry can make it look like beautiful custom stonework.

Getting the concrete mix right is critical. For example, too little water and the particles in the mix won’t stick together. But, adding too much water weakens your concrete. When that happens your aggregate or rock that is in the concrete begins to sink lower in the poured area. That leaves the lighter weight cement and sand at the top which can lead to very quick pitting and damage to your poured area.

Not only that, there are a great number of additives you can use to improve the strength of your concrete. Plasticizers and hardeners help it set quicker and fiberglass strands will add strength. It’s very important to get the ratio perfect.

The images below are from a project we completed last season as part of a patio renovation. A flake broadcast over both new and old concrete to bring it all together for a gorgeous finish for outdoor entertaining.

Improving the life expectancy of concrete

Preparing concrete is much harder than it looks. Hiring a professional in the field is always a smart idea.

Stopping freshly poured concrete from drying out too quickly is called curing. If left to dry on its own accord, concrete will not develop the full bond between all of its ingredients. When concrete is not cured properly, its durability, strength and abrasive resistance are affected. It will be weaker, crack more, and not be as hard as it should be.

The form work itself, if left in place or underneath a suspended slab, stops the concrete drying out too quickly and can be a curing agent. Water is then sprayed onto the formation. A plastic sheet is laid on top of the slab to stop the evaporation process. This is one of the most efficient methods of curing concrete.

Hardscapes offers a wide variety of concrete resurfacing and overlay systems. For more information contact us at 403-547-5597.
