Concrete Lasts

Holland Landing LocksConcrete lasts a long time. The East Humber River system was going to be an extension from Lake of the Trent waterway system. Essentially linking Lake Simcoe with Lake Ontario. The waterway was in construction from 1906-1912 when the project was shelved due to the outbreak of World War One.

This partly finished lock system can still be found in and around Newmarket and Holland Landing Ontario proving that concrete really lasts.

These days new technology can enhance the use of concrete making it a perfect medium for floors and beautiful counter tops and sinks.

If you want a product that lasts check out some of our concrete designs and give us a call for more information on how concrete can work in your home.

Driveway Damage Stops Sale

Drieveway-CrackWhat is the first thing a potential home buyer sees when they view a property? The driveway. They will either park in it or walk up it as they approach the home. If you think a cracked and pitted driveway doesn’t matter to a potential buyer you would be wrong.

Here is what one agent had to say.

“A new concrete driveway will greatly increase your home’s curb appeal. Better curb appeal can speed the sale of your home. It may be an upgrade that will not increase the value of your home but without repair it might cause your house to not sell at all.”

Hardscapes Inc. is expert at repairing cracked and pitted driveways and garage floors. Don’t wait until your house is up for sale to get the job done.

Against The Storm

When hurricane Odile hit the coast of Baja California many luxury homes and condos as well as thousands of Mexican families and businesses were effected. Everything that wasn’t nailed down was swept away. What was left was made of concrete and as rebuilding began concrete was the building material of choice. Now two years later the building continues and so does the use of concrete.

Beautiful Kitchen Floor Reno

This kitchen received a quick flooring makeover on a budget. With the primers available today, we were able to do a self levelling concrete topping right over the old kitchen tiles. Once that set, we installed an elite crete reflector floor. The metallic finish really modernizes the space.

Industrial Floor Finish

The process begins with surface prep. It’s always the key to a successful floor installation. This old floor has been used for many different businesses over the years. We started with a deep grind using a 32” machine that weighs more than 1500lbs. The combination of weight and the correct diamond tooling insures a nice deep grind to fully remove all surface contaminants.
We also ran a shotblaster over the rougher areas to insure a clean floor down in any divots and depressions.

Once a good clean floor is achieved, we skim the floor out with a floor patching material to fill and smooth the depressions and other deficiencies prior to coating. Once that has dried, a light grind over the patch and we are ready to begin the coating process.

Our base coat of epoxy goes down nice and even with a squeegee and back roll before we broadcast the flake. This client chose a grey and white mix with 7% silver micah for a unique look that will have a gorgeous finish.

Once the base coat has cured, we remove the excess flake, scrape it down and sand it before the applying the two topcoats of polyaspartic.

The final product is a gorgeous showroom finish that is extremely chemical and abrasion resistant. This floor will be home to an extensive car collection.
