Despite our beautiful extended summer weather coming to an abrupt end this weekend, it’s definitely still not too late to get your concrete garage flooring project in this fall.
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. In Canadian cities, winter climate conditions mean that road and highway maintenance requires snow melting products, so it’s very likely that salt is also responsible for some of that damage.
Hardscapes has solutions to address your garage floor issues. Our polyaspartic floor coatings are able to cure even in our cold Calgary fall/winter temperatures. 100% UV resistant, polyaspartic coating will provide years of easy maintenance and it’s non-skid texture ensures safety.
So be proactive…protect your garage floor this season. Get in touch today at 403-547-5597 for a free estimate.

Concrete is a standard building material. A good portion of every home built consists of concrete of one form or another.
Concrete in outside features like driveways and steps is also the material of choice for these home features, but unlike your basement floor these are exposed to the wear and tear of the elements. Constant bombardment from our Canadian weather can lead to pitting, cracking and flaking, eventually rendering the concrete unsafe or at least unpleasant to look at.
Taking down and rebuilding a heavy concrete step for example, can cost thousands of dollars, not to mention days of demolition, interruption and reconstruction. Hardscapes can show you another alternative – concrete restoration. This option may be just what you need. The cost is about half of a removal and re-installation and the result is considerably more pleasing to the eye.
If you have a restoration project you’d like to get underway give us a call at 403-547-5597. We’d be happy to provide a free quote and consultation.

Getting the concrete mix right is critical. For example, too little water and the particles in the mix won’t stick together. But, adding 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 which can lead to very quick pitting and damage to your poured area.
Not only that, there are a great number of additives you can use to improve the strength of your concrete. Plasticizers and hardeners help it set quicker and fiberglass strands will add strength. It’s very important to get the ratio perfect.
