If you thought that concrete was featureless and grey, you might be surprised at all the innovations that are being made in the area of concrete staining and coloration. Let AGC talk to you about your next exterior hardscape or foundation repair project.

If you have an asphalt or gravel driveway, you have already noticed the enormous amount of maintenance that these inferior surfaces require on a regular basis. Whether you are chasing gravel all over your yard, or patching cracks in your asphalt where freezing has shattered the surface, it is probably time to pave your driveway or walkway with concrete instead. Concrete is one of the most durable surfaces for heavy-traffic areas, and it is impermeable to the elements and relatively easy to stain and stamp if you want to add a bit of color or textural variety to your exterior hardscape. AGC can also work with you to find drainage solutions so your concrete driveway or walkway routes runoff into French drains or out of the boundaries of your property.

An in-ground pool represents a substantial investment, and it is intended to be the center of your backyard entertaining and lounging – but an inferior deck surface can greatly limit your enjoyment of your new pool. Stone surfaces, especially if they are made from dark colored stone, can get so hot that you have to practically hop across them to jump into the pool… and that’s not very relaxing. Concrete pool decks are virtually maintenance free, and they stay cool to the touch even when they are in direct sunlight. Concrete is waterproof, and it isn’t affected by pool chemicals like some tiles and woods would be.

If your garage floor is becoming cracked and stained, try something new with a beautiful new concrete surface. Our contractors will tear up your existing floor, and will lay a smooth and beautiful concrete surface in a matter of hours – all without damaging your existing garage features and minimizing the mess in the rest of your home and your home’s exterior. A good concrete floor will keep oil from staining the surface of your garage, while also giving you a clean and smooth surface that is easy on your tires and easy on the back of anyone sliding under your project cars to do a little tinkering.

Finally, if you need foundation work – or a new foundation built for an addition or new backyard structure, you couldn’t do any better than concrete. On its own, concrete is already a powerful material that resists compaction and settling and lasts for centuries – but it is made even stronger with iron reinforcement bars that keep the concrete structurally sound during lateral pressure caused by earthquakes or land movement. Your foundation is too important to trust to amateurs or companies without proven track records – so give AGC a call today for a quote and an accelerated plan for repairing or building your next foundation.
