Decorative Concrete

Lakeside Exteriors offers decorative concrete for both residential and commercial applications.  The designer look of stamped or stenciled concrete is available for both pre-existing and new concrete installations.

Architectural Design Concrete is durable and long-lasting. It is available with a support maintenance contract to maintain the “like-new” beauty for many, many years. A variety of available colors, textures and patterns provide an almost unlimited variety of appearances. As examples, patterns can be brick, stone, cobblestone, slate, flagstone, tile, wood, weathered wood, etc. (Gallery 1: View Photos of finished projects)

Two Processes are available:

Gallery 2: Architectural Design Stamped Concrete Process (Illustrated in a series of photos)

Architectural design stamped concrete process: A relatively thick layer of hard-concrete is poured over a new or existing concrete base. The patterns, colors and other surface features are stamped on/in this very hard concrete surface. For weather resistance and protection, the surface is sealed.

Gallery 3: Architectural Design Stenciled Concrete Process (Illustrated in a series of photos)

Architectural design stenciled concrete process: A thinner layer of hard concrete is applied over existing sound concrete surfaces. The patterns, colors and other surface features are stenciled on/in this very hard concrete surface. For weather resistance and protection, the surface is sealed.
