Concrete patios in Memphis and the surrounding areas do not have to be boring and made of uniform off-white concrete. Whether you are looking to upgrade the patio at your home or business, the professionals at Surface Scapes can provide innovative methods of re-imagining the concrete surface. Attract attention with a stained concrete patio in a pretty shade or with surface designing.
Stained Concrete
Perhaps the simplest way to re-imagine concrete patios in Memphis is by changing the surface color. When most people think of concrete or cement, they picture the same white to gray color. We can add shades, hues, and colors to your existing concrete surface without replacing it. If you are planning on replacing or adding to the surface, then it is easier to add color, and our experts can tell you how a particular shade will look.
We have water-based stains offering many bright colors and little odor, and if you choose a UV stable version, they can be used outdoors. Acrylic coatings offer more durability and custom colorings. Surface Scapes also has concrete dyes that use small color particles to give concrete translucent colors. Acid stains are tricky, but the marble effect is worth it. In some cases, integral color is added to the mix to give a powerful color throughout. One of the most durable for outdoor use is a dry shake hardener, but it can only be used in wet concrete.
Decorative Overlays
Another way to re-imagine your patio is by adding a decorative overlay. This can be stained or colored concrete or more complex, such as an intricate pattern or design. A popular decorative overlay includes stamps to mimic brickwork. We are able to create a decorative overlay matching any pattern you want, given enough time to create the stamp or stamps necessary.
Resurfacing
Even if you do not necessarily want to re-imagine or upgrade your Memphis concrete patio, our team can help it look new. This can be as simple as resurfacing in many cases, and the process will even out the current patio, giving it a fresh appearance.
