Looking for perfect concrete structure?

Even though concrete is a substance that can be easily mixed, you can really run into problems if it is not worked properly. These issues include scaling, discoloring and shrinkage to name a few. Discoloration or discolouring is one of the most common.

If you are using the same materials, mix and batch your concrete should have a consistent colour. Changes in concrete colour can occur just by using two different cements or if a chemical from a job site gets added to the mix. Even different water sources can change the colour of the concrete.

Solving discoloration problems:

  • Discuss your tolerances with the supplier
  • Water must be completely evaporated before concrete can be finished
  • Make sure the entire surface is uniformly cured
  • Use a consistent form release agent

The experts at Hardscapes create perfect concrete structure every time. If you have a concrete project you’d like to get under way this summer, give us a call at 403-547-5597. We’d be happy to answer all your questions and give you suggestions.

Instantly improve your garage

We install showroom quality, non-skid, durable, easy maintenance garage floor coatings

Some experts claim that the fluids that drip from your vehicle and are left unattended are what cause all the pitting and damage to the concrete surface of your garage floor. Here at Hardscapes we can restore your garage floor’s appearance and life span.

We use polyaspartic coatings which are incredibly strong and resistant providing years of optimum wear & tear. These non-skid textures improve safety and are exceptionally easy to clean and maintain.

Introduced in the 1990s polyaspartic became a new class of coating. Because polyaspartics can be formulated with slower reaction rates, they can be roller-applied or spray-applied with conventional paint sprayers without the use of solvent. Polyaspartic coatings are 100% UV resistant and will not age or yellow and have a non-skid texture which promotes safety.

Thinking about resurfacing your garage floor this spring?

The devil is always in the details. In the case of resurfacing your garage floor, the most important detail is preparation.

It doesn’t matter whether your garage floor is fifty years old or part of a million dollar lottery home, if you’re going to update the concrete you have to prepare the surface properly.

Hardscapes Inc. has a reputation for making sure every surface turns out like a million bucks.

Grinding the floor removes paints, glues and any other contaminants, as well as opens up the pores of the concrete to ensure a great bond.

This garage looks great with the rich, dark nightfall colour flakes.

Concrete Resurfacing

BandageNo matter how much care you take with your concrete driveway it will eventually start to wear.

If your home was built in the last fifty years your driveway, and probably your walkway, are built with concrete. These outdoor features of your home need to be made of materials that are durable and long lasting, and concrete fits the bill.

What do you do when signs of aging start to appear? Whether it’s pitting due to oil or other petroleum products leaking from vehicles onto the surface, or from shifting soil that leaves cracks in the cement where grass and weeds can grow, your driveway can become an ugly welcome home.

If your driveway is looking like it may need to be jack-hammered out and re-poured that can be a big expense.

Here’s the good news, don’t just put a bandage on it, there is another solution. Concrete resurfacing is a way to bring those aging concrete walks and drives back to life.
