What’s new in concrete trends?
Concrete is no longer just a boring gray surface accentuated by some larger aggregate stone or angular concave lines to let water run off.
Now concrete can be used in many applications with patios, pool decks, basement floors and counter tops.
More and more home owners, designers and contractors are turning to concrete to create incredible stone looking patios that are not only weather resistant but beautiful.
With new concrete concepts you can decide the look and feel of your concrete project. Whether it’s a kitchen island or a wraparound pool deck it’s up to you to call the colour and finish.
Why not give Hardscapes Inc. a call to find out how concrete can change the look of your home or back yard.

Modern concrete is designed to last 60 to 120 years but lack of maintenance and environmental conditions can greatly reduce those numbers.
Many city practices like salting city streets in the winter can lead to pitted and stained concrete driveways. As snow plows push the snow from the street onto sidewalks and driveways it also sends any vehicle waste like oils and engine fluids that have made their way to the street along with city particulates like salt and or grass control chemicals along with it.
Any or all of these waste products can have an effect on your sidewalks and driveways leaving them even more susceptible to the wear and tear of extreme weather and the fluctuations in temperature that cause cracking and flaking.
Hardscapes Inc. has solutions to every concrete restoration need and years of experience to make a repair that is beautiful and long lasting.
This gorgeous basement floor was created by engraving the existing concrete and applying an acid stain over the entire floor. We then went back over the floor with an accent colour to highlight the pattern. The satin finish makes for very natural looking and easy care floor.
How to cure concrete.
Stopping freshly poured concrete from drying out too quickly is called curing. If left to dry out of its own accord, concrete will not develop the full bond between all of its ingredients. It will be weaker and crack mill crack more. The surface might not be as hard as it should be.
Preparing concrete is harder than it looks. A professional in the field is always a good idea. Hardscapes Inc. has the experts and can help you with all your concrete ideas.
Popular home, garden and construction suppliers would like to make you think that concrete repair is easy and needs no special skills other than a few tools and a strong back.
They like to tell you how satisfied you’ll be doing a concrete repair yourself.
They don’t tell you how unsatisfied you’ll be when you discover that even though you followed all the instructions on the packaging the patch didn’t dry the same colour as the rest of the concrete around it. They also didn’t mention that the repair only lasted for six months before weather and ground shifting pulled the repair apart and left a bigger mess of cracked and broken concrete.
Save time and money. Hire an expert.
Coloring, mixing and implementing a concrete repair is an art.
Hardscapes Inc. is all about the art.
