Concrete Construction

Concrete flatwork is a term that refers to horizontal concrete structures typically laid on specific grades to create a level surface. This includes patios, driveways, walkways, pool decks, and other flat surfaces. With Morales Landscaping & Pinestraw Service, our concrete flatwork is crafted to provide durability, practicality, and aesthetic appeal, enhancing your outdoor spaces in more ways than one.

The duration for installing a concrete patio or driveway largely depends on the size and complexity of the project. Typically, preparation and installation can take anywhere from a couple of days to a week, while curing, the process that strengthens the concrete, usually requires about a month. However, your patio or driveway will be walkable or drivable after a week in most cases. We pride ourselves on efficient service while ensuring top-notch quality.

Absolutely! We offer a wide variety of decorative options for your concrete surfaces. From a myriad of color choices to finishes like stamping or staining, we can customize your concrete to achieve the aesthetic you desire, complementing your home's architecture and surrounding landscape.

Depending on the extent and type of damage, some concrete surfaces can be repaired, which can be a more cost-effective solution. However, in cases where the damage is extensive or affects the structural integrity of the concrete, replacement may be necessary. Our team at Morales Landscaping & Pinestraw Service can assess the condition of your concrete surface and recommend the best course of action.

There are a variety of finishes we offer for concrete flatwork, depending on your aesthetic preference and functional requirements. A smooth finish is achieved by floating and troweling, giving a sleek and polished look. Broom finish, achieved by dragging a broom across the surface, is perfect for driveways, walkways, or patios where slip resistance is important. Textured or stamped finishes can mimic the appearance of natural stone, brick, or other materials, adding a unique and visually pleasing element to your landscape.

A broom finish, which creates a lightly textured surface, offers more traction than a smooth finish, making it a safer choice for areas prone to wet conditions like pool decks or walkways. In terms of maintenance, both finishes are relatively easy to clean and maintain. However, smooth finishes may show stains and discoloration more readily than broom finishes.
