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.

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.

Company Logo

Have you been wondering what is going to finish off that new company space. There is something missing but you can’ t quite put your finger on it.

What about your company logo embedded in the concrete floor in your reception or service area?

This is something that not only looks great but really shows off the corporate seal. It’s also something that needs to be done professionally. If not done right your company logo can become faded and worn if in a high traffic area.

Hardscapes Inc. specializes in logo-ed floors. Check out some of these awesome designs.

Too Much Water

Pitted DrivewayAdding 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. This can lead to very quick pitting and damage to your poured area especially things like concrete driveways.

Today there are is a great number of additives you can use to improve the strength of your concrete. Plastisizers, hardeners, helps it set quicker, fiberglass strands which add strength.
