Concrete is an excellent option for patios, pool decks, paths and driveways. Shape colour and texture can all be manipulated to support the style you would like to achieve. For example, if you want a modern look, the edges of your patio can be formed with straight lines and hard corners. You would also select a grey colour and opt for a texture-less finish or subtly exposed aggregate. On the other hand, if you want a rustic driveway, it would have sweeping curved edges, an earthy colour and a stone texture stamped onto the surface.

Outdoor countertops can also be made with concrete. Again, the choices you make should support the overall style of your backyard. A countertop textured to look like wood would be perfect for a rustic setting, while one polished to expose the aggregates and mimic granite would work well in a traditional outdoor space. With concrete a custom product can be created that will suit any style you can imagine,
