The art of concrete flatwork
We walk on it, and we roll on it. It frames and anchors structures in the landscape. It welcomes guests, and it sets boundaries. It’s “concrete flatwork“: sidewalks, driveways, pool decks, flat architectural designs, and more.
And it’s not just about cement. We also provide masterful brick work, crushed stone and other materials, even importing stone to suit projects for which nothing will do but the real thing. Your designer and contractor should explore options, and be sure you understand the tradeoffs — such as appearance, maintenance, and longevity — before you make your decision.
The Portland Cement Association has this and more to say about concrete flatwork:
With technological advances that allow it to take on virtually any color, texture or shape, concrete is redefining its role on the residential landscape. Concrete’s design flexibility makes it a leading player in a design process that puts increasing emphasis on outdoor space.
The only material with the ability to give a coordinated look to all of the home’s exterior elements, concrete has become a powerful design tool for “homescaping.” That, combined with its affordability, durability, and top-level performance in any climate, makes it the best choice for today’s homeowner.
