The Comprehensive Guide to Different Types of Concrete Finishes

February 18, 2025

Concrete, with its inherent sturdiness and flexibility, is an undisputed champion in landscape design. It presents an extensive repertoire of stylistic and practical options that can transform your outdoor space into a confluence of beauty and functionality. This guide, curated by the experts at Wildroses Landscaping, throws light on the diverse world of concrete finishes, and how each variant can add a unique charm and value to your property.


As trusted providers of concrete services in London, Ontario, and the surrounding regions, we understand the transformative power of the right concrete finish. Dive in as we explore the different types of finishes and how they can redefine your landscape’s aesthetics and durability.


Understanding Concrete Finishes


The type of concrete finish you select significantly impacts the overall look and durability of your landscape. Here are the various types of finishes we offer at Wildroses Landscaping.


Stamped Concrete


Stamped concrete is an excellent way to create a stunning design on your property without breaking the bank. It involves imprinting patterns on freshly poured concrete before it dries, mimicking the appearance of high-end materials like bricks, stones or wood. It is ideal for patios, walkways, and driveways, offering an attractive, low maintenance, and resilient surface.


Broom Concrete


A broom finish is an economical and simple method to create a non-slip surface. The process entails dragging a broom across the concrete while it's still wet, creating small ridges that provide traction. It's perfect for walking paths, pool decks, and driveways where slip-resistance is crucial for safety.


Exposed Concrete


An exposed concrete finish involves removing the top layer of the concrete to reveal the aggregates underneath. This creates a rugged, textured appearance ideal for outdoor areas like driveways, walkways, and patios due to its enhanced grip and resilience to wear and weather.


Stairs Concrete


Concrete stairs are known for their durability and versatility. With options for a smooth finish or textured aggregate for extra grip, concrete stairs can be tailored to meet the aesthetics and safety needs of your property.
