Sidewalks
Stamped concrete driveway pouring is usually placed with minimal difficulty by backing the Ready-mix truck from the street to the desired location to start placement in the stamped concrete driveway. A 3000 lb psi. concrete mix at a 5.50 depth is recommended with 3/8" or 1/2" steel rebar tied on 4 ft. centers to assure a strong slab. After forming the  concrete driveway the sub grade is compacted using a mechanical device, Jumping Jack, Plate compactor or roller, if not compacted prior to forming. Concrete slabs are only as strong as the ground that is poured on, using steel in conjunction with compacting will greatly enhance the strength and life of the stamped concrete driveway. Concrete driveway can be stamped concrete, stained concrete, regular gray, exposed aggregate or textured. Once the stamped concrete driveway is finished, a curing compound is applied to seal the slab for superior moisture retention, producing a harder concrete driveway.
Concrete Stain reacts with the minerals in concrete chemically, to form a permanent color that is durable, chip resistant and does not flake. Stained concrete colors can be mixed to create a multitude of color shades and intensity with new or old concrete surfaces. Acid stain is applied by brushing, rolling or sprayed onto the surface. Colors available, but not limited too are, violet, black, lime, browns, off white, terra cotta, blue, tan, sea blue, green and rust. To prep the project prior to staining concrete, the surface is sanded to remove any impurities and should be free of grease, oil, dust, paint and other materials. New concrete should be at least 28 day old before staining, After achieving the desired look and color, the stain is allowed to dry then neutralized, prior to sealing or waxing.
