On the agreed start date, a dedicated construction team will attend the location.
Their primary focus will be to complete the installation to the highest of standards, as quickly as possible – ensuring little to no impact to your day-to-day routine.
Our team will begin by protecting all sensitive areas around the construction site. This includes covering walls, stairs, paved or any areas not affected by the installation.
To ensure a longer lasting concrete construction, we excavate all old paving and foundations. We then compact and level out a sub-base, with a minimum thickness of 4 inches.
After boxing out any drainage, recesses and framework, a PVC membrane is placed over the prepared sub-base. This provides a clean barrier between foreign and organic matter, and the new concrete surface.
The prepared areas are covered with no less than 4 inches of fibre mesh reinforced concrete.
Our concrete mixture is specifically formulated to withstand the constant and extreme stress placed on such areas where heavy vehicle and people traffic are prevalent. The mixture is then agitated and levelled out, to ensure there are no cavities, weak spots or uneven areas.
Having given the newly laid surface time to set, the surface is then decorated with the patterns and textures, as specified during the consultation process.
Two layers of the industrial-grade colour compound is applied – thus giving the desired appearance. Our colourants are specially formulated to resist the harmful effects of the sun and rain, allowing the original colour and texture to remain virtually unchanged.
To avoid cracking, we add joints in the concrete. Depending on the weather, these joints allow the surface to expand and contract.
After allowing the surface to sure and absorb the colourant, a final clean-up of the surface, joints and textures are done. Finally, the area is then protected using a hard-wearing chemical sealant. This not only gives the finished surface a beautiful appearance, but it also protects it from the weather.
We pride ourselves on being an environmentally responsible company. As such, after construction, we remove and responsibly dispose of all our construction waste.
Leaving you with a beautifully crafted driveway, path or patio is not where our commitment to you ends. We offer ongoing support, maintenance and repairs on all our products.
