Custom architectural concrete — when standard finishes won't do.
Scored geometric patios, acid-stained polished interior floors, custom medallions and one-off poured features designed in collaboration with you or your architect.
Design concrete is what we call the work that doesn't fit into a stamped catalog. Custom score patterns laid out to your floor plan. Acid stains layered to look like aged leather or weathered stone. Polished interior floors that read like terrazzo. Custom-formed benches, planters, and architectural features poured monolithic so they look intentional — not bolted on. Every design-concrete project starts with a conversation about the look you're after, moves to mockups and sample panels you approve in your own daylight, and ends with a finish that defines the room or the courtyard it lives in.

Custom scoring, medallions and inlays
Saw-cut score lines turn a flat slab into a designed surface. We lay out geometric grids, compass-rose medallions, custom logos, and one-off patterns that align to your home's architecture. Cuts are made green (while the concrete is still curing) for clean edges, then can be left bare, color-rubbed, or filled with contrasting grout. For commercial branding work we can saw-cut and color-fill logos directly into entry slabs.
Acid stains, water-based dyes and integral color
Stained concrete is one of the most beautiful and most misunderstood finishes available. Acid stains react chemically with the lime in the concrete to produce mottled, variegated color that genuinely resembles weathered stone or aged leather — every slab is one of a kind. Water-based dyes give cleaner, more uniform color in a broader palette. Integral color (mixed into the concrete at the truck) provides through-thickness color that won't chip away. We use all three, often in combination, and we always test on a sample panel first.
Polished concrete interior floors
Polished concrete is the residential and commercial floor finish you've been seeing in modern interiors and high-end retail. We grind, hone and polish existing or new slabs through progressive diamond pad grits, exposing aggregate to the depth you want (cream, salt-and-pepper, or full aggregate exposure), then densify and seal the surface. The result is a hard, glossy, low-maintenance floor that looks like it was always there.
Architectural features built monolithic
Concrete benches, planters, kitchen-island countertops, fire surrounds and water features look right when they're poured as one continuous piece — not assembled from prefab parts. We build forms from your drawings (or our renderings), pour, finish, and install one-off architectural concrete features that read as part of the building.

How we build it.
Concept & sample
We mock up color, score pattern, and finish on test panels before committing to the pour.
Pour & cut
Concrete is placed, finished, and saw-cut to your design while green to avoid chipping.
Stain & seal
Stains and dyes are applied in layers, then sealed for a finish that holds its tone.
Questions, answered.
What's the difference between stamped and design concrete?+
Stamped concrete uses a catalog of standard texture mats pressed into wet concrete. Design concrete is custom: scored patterns, layered stains, polished finishes, and one-off architectural pieces that don't come from a stamp catalog. Many projects use both.
Can you stain my existing concrete?+
Yes, if the substrate is sound and porous enough to accept stain. We test first on a hidden area. If existing sealer is in the way we can grind it off, then stain. Heavily damaged or sealed slabs may need a stainable overlay instead.
Is polished concrete slippery?+
Polished concrete has a similar slip rating to polished stone — fine when dry, slick when wet. For wet areas we add a slip-resistant additive to the sealer. Interior dry-area floors are well within safe slip-resistance ranges.
Do you work with architects and designers?+
Routinely. We're comfortable working from drawings, providing material samples, attending design reviews, and producing shop drawings for custom-formed features. Reach out early in the design phase and we'll make sure the concrete spec is buildable and on-budget.
How long does a stained or polished finish last?+
The color is permanent — it's chemically bonded into the concrete. The sealer needs refresh every 3–5 years on high-traffic surfaces to keep the depth of color and protect against staining. We offer maintenance plans.
