Did you know we do interior and exterior painting!
Do you know the difference between “Hardscaping” and “Softscaping”?
Since Man started construction, thousand of years ago, sand and stone have been used to build foundations. Sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, recycled concrete and geosynthetic aggregate are coarse particles of materials used in construction, and are considered Construction aggregate, or “aggregate”. During the Roman Empire, aggregate was used to build its vast network of roads and aqueducts.
Aggregates are a component of composite materials, which serves as reinforcement to add strength to the overall composite material. Aggregates are used as base material under foundations of buildings, roads and driveways, to provide a stable foundation with uniform properties, e.g. to help prevent differential settling under buildings and roads.
Exposed aggregate enhances the beauty of your driveway and provides a non-slip surface that can withstand extreme weather conditions.
Jewel Stone is an acrylic modified cement-based coating used to improve the look of concrete, and to re-energize old concrete finishing into decorative faux stone. Jewel Stone can be use to achieve the look of stone on walkways, patios and steps in a variety of colours.
Interlocking Stone is versatile for use in walkways, driveways, patios and is available in a wide variety of colours, textures, shapes and patterns. Creative designs are based on your imagination and countless combinations. Interlocking stone requires low maintenance and can last a lifetime.
HARDSCAPING
Hardscaping is a relatively new phase in the residential construction industry. It essentially refers to anything done around the exterior of the home that is not plant or garden related, meaning outdoor living spaces, structures, etc. The best way to add perspective to the term is to think of it in direct contrast to landscaping: Hardscaping refers to walls, pathways, structures, patios and more.
SOFTSCAPING
Softscaping refers to living plants, trees, flower beds, soil, etc. which create character and lends beauty to the ambience.
