Show Your Logo

Show Your Logo
Concrete floors, like in your corporate office foyer or in your garage, can easily be used to promote your business or display your logo or club colours. With today’s digital technologies high resolution images can be added to almost any surface. You can also engrave or stencil concrete for a different effect.

Really the options are finite so why not put that blank canvas to work and add an image or logo to your bare concrete.

Summer Concrete Project

backyard basketball courtOk, Christmas is over and we are already half way through the first month of the New Year. Time to start thinking of that outdoor project you promised the kids last fall.

Was it a new basketball court or maybe a tennis court? Possibly a new concrete patio to accent last year’s new deck.

Whatever your concrete project for this summer season, now is the time to put your plan in place.

Hardscapes Inc. can give you all the information you need for your new outdoor concrete project to make sure it looks great and lasts a lifetime.

Concrete Heaving

concrete heavingFrost can damage concrete in many ways. Two of the most prominent are, having the frozen ground heave because of ice crystals forming in the soil, and collapsing due to these ice crystals thawing in the spring. When the weather becomes cold in the winter, frost penetrates the ground and freezes water trapped in the pours of the earth. Water flows from wet to dry so water from below th frost line is drawn up. As it reaches the frost line it freezes. This eventually creates a thick layer of ice. The expansion caused by the freezing ice creates a layer that heaves the ground an equal distance of that layer. Finally the pressure below the concrete can no longer sustain its integrity and cracks.

Filling these cracks can leave ugly jagged lines in your concrete drives and walkways. Professionals like Hardscapes Inc. have many methods of repairing just this kind of winter damage and bring you concrete outdoor surfaces back to their original beauty.

Polished Concrete Floors

Treating concrete with a chemical densifier and then grinding it with progressively finer grinding tools can create beautiful basement and garage floors. Progressively finer grits of diamond polishing pads are used to achieve a slick polished surface. Often the surface is either stained or dyed but branding and logos can also be added along with scoring, borders and other design features to make a concrete floor come to life.

Hardscapes Inc. specializes in these types of floors and can make any concrete surface become a focal point at home, work or garage.

Sealing Your Concrete

Textured ConcreteIf you recently had concrete work done outdoors like a stamped or textured driveway or sidewalk but didn’t get a chance to have it sealed before the weather turned cold, what should you do?

With unsealed concrete there is always a chance of freeze or thaw damage in colder weather. If the mix was correct you shouldn’t have any problems.

If you get a couple of warmer days it is advisable to get the concrete sealed but the concrete has to be dry for 24 hours before you seal it.

If the temperature remains cold you will have to leave it unsealed until the weather warms and allows for it to be properly sealed.
