To say there has been an explosion in decorative concrete is quite the understatement! Homeowners are hiring decorative concrete specialists to color, stain, score, stamp, overlay, or otherwise decorate the pool decks, entries, driveways, and walkways around their homes. AMCON, located in Gaithersburg, Maryland, is seeing a large increase in pool-related projects. pontoon boat composite flooring"Many homeowners not only want a pool, but a total package - a back yard retreat in which they can escape and relax at the end of the day and on weekends." Adds Mike Boeddeker of Pristine Concrete in Paso Robles, California, "Today people want their own private vacation spot, somewhere they can retreat to every day.
" Homeowners often want an extension of their house; they want an exterior surface that flows with the indoor flooring materials they have used. Using decorative concrete as part of a homes overall design is also happening in the Staples, Minnesota area. "We have been doing large decorative driveways, 2,000 to 5,000 square feet, lakeside patios and wrap around porches. This is in keeping with the rustic and log homes found in the lake areas," according to Mike Verlennich of Verlennich Masonry and Concrete. Decorative contractors can also spruce up existing concrete. Concrete Art, located in Carlsbad, California, turns boring gray concrete into surfaces with innovative designs and vibrant colors. wpc floor decking panel product for sale"We enhance existing surfaces so homeowners don't have to go through the arduous process of replacing concrete," says company president Jeffrey Grieve.
