Standard Finishes

Broom finish

Broom Finish

A stiff broom is dragged across the wet surface leaving fine parallel lines for excellent traction. The standard for driveways and walkways — durable, low-maintenance, and timeless.

Salt finish
Standard

Salt Finish

Rock salt is pressed into the wet surface then washed out, leaving a subtle pitted texture. A cost-effective decorative option for patios and pool surrounds.

Hard trowel finish
Standard

Hard Trowel Finish

Machine- or hand-troweled to a smooth, dense surface. Standard for garage floors, interior slabs, and commercial applications.

Top cast finish
Standard

Top Cast Finish

A fine sand-textured surface produced by broadcasting aggregate onto the wet slab. Clean, slip-resistant, and consistent.

Acid etch finish
Standard

Acid Etch Finish

A light acid wash opens the surface pores, producing a fine even texture with subtle visual depth. Often used as a prep for staining or sealing.

Decorative Finishes

Exposed aggregate
