Project Description

Location: Robina Waters, Gold Coast
Project Size: 235sqm Driveway + 36sqm Garage

Our client here is selling his house early this year and contacted us for the refurb works on the driveway / garage area, getting everything up to scratch in this multi million dollar house in Robina Waters.

The driveway received a full floor grinding of all the old resurfacing back to bare concrete, major crack infill repairs throughout and finished with off set tiles in Coal / Natural colourings.

The garage was ground back and crack repaired, then our flake epoxy system in Black Granite over Black epoxy was installed, finished off with a Urethane top coating.

Thank you for your business Steve and all the best with the sale of your lovely home.

Residential Concrete Make Over at Helensvale

Location: Helensvale, Gold Coast
Project Size: 100sqm

Completed this puppy today for a full rejuvination of pathways, pool surrounds and patio section. The existing overlay was around 10 years old and run down, but it had been Urethane top coated at some stage which made grinding somewhat difficult……I won’t lie, I swore often and loud. But we got there and removed it all ready for our new coatings.

Shale Grey Main with White taped lines and White / Coal mid application flecking throughout for a nice, modern finish that will last for years more to come.

Thank you for your business McCathie family and all the best for Xmas and the New Year.

Back in the mud doing what we love on the Gold Coast

Location: Gold Coast
Project Size: 30sqm + 30sqm

You know what? I love doing our custom works. Desert Dreams to Stormy Skies and some crazy custom stamped design. But at the end of the day, I’ve spent years in the concrete doing the basic shit and it’s abso-freaking-lutely great to take a “mental” break sometimes and just go through the paces with a few simple pathways.

This week we put in two separate, plain concrete pathways for different clients.

The first set of photos was for a customer at Labrador that had 1200mm wide pathways with a 40mm x 90mm rebate along both sides for a track running system to haul loads from the back of proprty to front of property….structural pathway I suppose you could say. I finished this with a stipple but no highlighting here…..too hot…too summer…too many rebates….I’m not superman.

The second was a pathway out at River Links that we will be attending later to apply a Saxon Brown water based stain to and sealing to add some lifelike colour throughout. Finished with a highlighted stipple and hand installed control joints. Got a little unlucky on this one, even though the client was mist spraying water every hour, she still opened up with hydration cracks in a couple of spots simply due to the area was in direct 40 degree sun and it sucked the water out too quickly. Not to stress though, I’ve been around long enough to not let that ruin my day. A quick patch and repair to the small 1mm cracks before we stain and seal and you’ll never be able to tell.

Thanks to both our clients this week. Typical Christmas lead up, too many jobs and not enough hours to get them all done. Praying we don’t get any solid rain delays.

Entertaining Area Re Application Helensvale

Posted by Ben Walker on October 24, 2019 with 0 Comment

Project Description

Location: Helensvale, Gold Coast
Project Size: 110sqm

Our clients here had an existing entertaining area patio / pool surrounds and side path that was sprayed over 10 years ago. They did a great job re-sealing, except for the last time where it appears the contractor had used inferior products, which left a pretty shitty shine to the surface and had started delaminating. They loved the existing pattern / colours they, so my instructions where to make it new again. A full grind back of the existing to bare concrete, repairs of a few areas, then re-application of a perfectly smooth design with minimal flecking and extra wide 1.0m tiles throughout.

Colour Used: Almond with Ocean Sand lines and Ocean Sand / Truffle flecking.

This is becoming a little tongue in cheek saying of mine, but Brooms are for sweeping, not finishing….at least for decorative applications. Don’t let your contractor broom finish you decorative concrete! Hire an actual finisher.

Black Velvet colour oxide footpaths, wet joints with a highlighted stipple finish.

Thanks Sharon! Have a great Christmas.

Entertaining Refurbishment Upper Coomera

Posted by Ben Walker on October 4, 2019 with 0 Comment

Project Description

Location: Upper Coomera, Gold Coast
Project Size: 30sqm + Coping

Our client here had an existing exposed aggregate patio area, that adjoined the concrete pool surrounds that someone previously had installed a flake epoxy over in a light blue. He wanted to update all the area to match in with the existing mediums, along with re-colouring the pool coping to update as well.

We decided to go with a metallic epoxy install for the patio, working with our modern grey toning pigments that also tended to suit the existing colours well.

Our client was wanting to keep the secondary toning a bit more uniform in “flow with the streaks” than our last install which leaned more towards a “cloudy” effect, I also got a little creative with the Pewter main colouring bringing out some watery / wavey effects throughout to go with the light blue existing epoxy and obviously the pool.

We finished off by re-colouring the pool coping in “Blue Grey” tint.

Lovely results and a greatly improved area hopefully our client can enjoy over Christmas this year.

Back tomorrow now to smooth cut the concrete joints a bit neater and appy the Urethane top coating.
