New pool concrete: exposed aggregate with acid stain, carved concrete and custom landscaping install
Check out this Lovely Live edge desk- So Unique!
This small space was the perfect place to design and install this live edge desk. We kept both sides of the edge intact and back filled with concrete to create a smooth edge along the rear of the desk. Wall brackets were used to hang the unit in place- and it can be easily removed and installed in another location in minutes!
Concrete Textures – the Options are Endless!
Here’s just some of the textures that can be created with concrete. From stamped to carved, exposed aggregate or sand broadcast- applications and options are totally endless…..

Gimli Manitoba: Concrete and membrane repair- Check out this Complicated Rooftop Waterproofing Repair made Easy….
Improper grading on this rooftop patio lead to water ponding and subsequent damage to the front facade on this multi family property.
First step was to remove existing membrane 40” from the front parapet wall across the entire width of the building- so the concrete could be re graded
Once removed we used Sika Quick 1000 to re slope the concrete to drain to the scuppers. This product allowed membrane to be re installed within 24 hours for fast turn around.
This process was completed in 5 days from start to finish.
Venetian plaster waterfall design/install
The existing waterfall had not been used in over a year, and leaked pretty bad. We first created a new smooth layer over the existing slate tiles, then waterproofed the entire wall and side returns. Once watertight, we added layer upon layer of Tadelakt lime plaster- the very plaster used in Moroccan architecture for their elaborate spas. We used our own style by using multiple colours in a vertical application adding to the look of the falling water. Very pleased with the end result!
