Offering An Alternative to Decorative or Stamped Concrete - Here's Why...

Decorative Concrete Maintenance

It's definitely not fun, but it's a fact of life for every homeowner - maintenance. Every spring, you make repairs to get ready for the warmer months. One of the most important maintenance tasks to complete on a regular basis is often times overlooked, i.e. caring for your home's driveway, walkways, and patios.

For years we've been led to believe that concrete is indestructible and maintenance free. Unfortunately, many homeowners learn the hard way that concrete does fail and repairing or replacing it isn't cheap. In fact, the average homeowner will spend approximately eight dollars a square foot when replacing existing concrete.

There are many problems that relate to basic concrete or stamped concrete issues, along with problems when it comes to decorative concrete. Some examples of these problems might be: surface cracking, broken or chipped edges along pattern lines, inconsistent color, and several others. While these problems can be fixed, they can become expensive and can create more work than you want to put in.

Another big disadvantage is that you will always see the repair marks, ALWAYS. There is no way to patch concrete without seeing that it has been patched.

A perfect and attractive alternative to decorative concrete for your drive, patio, and walkways would be paving stones. Compared to concrete fixing a problem is much easier. If there is a crack in one of your paving stones it can simple be removed and replaces, whereas replacing a slab of decorative or stamped concrete is far more costly, cumbersome and time consuming task.
