Types of Concrete Patio:
We offer three main types of concrete patios to our customers. These include:
- Poured Concrete
- Stamped Concrete
- Concrete Pavers
Installation of both poured and stamped concrete start with a foundation that is built on the ground.
For the poured concrete patio, Eternal Rock Construction Inc prepares a wooden framework based on your chosen design of patio. It will lay out its final design. We, then pour concrete in the frame, and once it is dried and cured, the frame will be removed.
In the stamped concrete patio, the same frame is used, but we add a design to the top of the wet concrete. You can choose any of the concrete patio designs like natural stones or any other pattern. A designed mold is pressed on the top of the wet concrete that presses the design to it. If you like to have colored concrete, we can add the desired colored when the concrete is still wet, or we can also apply a colored mixture to the surface before it dries out.
Other than poured concrete and stamped concrete, concrete pavers are another option. These pavers are small pieces of concrete that come in various designs and colors. Some pavers also resemble natural stones and wood. To install pavers, we first dig out a trench and then add a layer of aggregate material on the ground. It prevents the pavers from slipping. A second layer of aggregate material is then applied after *installing pavers. It helps in filling gaps between the pieces.
