Services
Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete transforms ordinary surfaces into elegant designs mimicking stone, brick, or cobblestone. Our experts apply this technique to patios, driveways, and pool decks using durable, slip-resistant materials. With over 20 years of proven longevity, our stamped concrete solutions combine aesthetic appeal with low maintenance requirements.
Outdoor Kitchens
Custom outdoor kitchens feature built-in grills, countertops, and storage tailored to your entertaining needs. We integrate high-quality materials like stamped concrete and stone to create functional, weather-resistant spaces. Our designs maximize usability while enhancing property value through seamless indoor-outdoor transitions.
Fireplaces & Fire Pits
Custom fireplaces and fire pits provide year-round outdoor enjoyment using brick, stone, or gas-powered designs. Our installations include fiber-reinforced concrete fire bowls with protective sealers for durability. Options range from traditional wood-burning to modern gas systems with adjustable heat output.
Pergolas & Arbors
Wooden pergolas and arbors add architectural interest while providing shade for patios and gardens. We construct freestanding or attached structures with customizable roof coverage and beam designs. These elements enhance outdoor comfort and create defined living spaces within your landscape.
Landscape Design
Our landscape design integrates hardscape elements like patios with softscape features such as plants and trees. We collaborate with clients to develop cohesive plans that balance aesthetics and functionality. Services include material selection, 3D visualization, and implementation of sustainable, low-maintenance designs.
Questions
What thickness do you recommend for concrete patios and driveways?
We specify 4 inches for patios/walkways and 5 inches for driveways with steel rebar and fiber reinforcement for durability.
How do you prevent concrete cracking?
We use proper base compaction, control joints, and dual reinforcement with fiber mesh and steel rods to minimize cracking.
Why use both fiber mesh and steel reinforcement?
Fiber mesh prevents shrinkage cracks while steel rods provide structural integrity against freeze/thaw cycles in Indiana.
How long do stamped concrete colors last?
Integral colors last a lifetime with two coats of high-solids sealer to protect against fading and weathering.
Can deicers damage sealed concrete?
Properly sealed surfaces resist deicer damage, but avoid salt-based products for best long-term results.
How long does a typical concrete project take?
Most jobs complete in 2-3 days including site prep, pouring, and finishing work.
