Decorative Concrete in Ambler, PA

Smaller Lots, Careful Planning

Many Ambler homes sit on compact lots, close to the sidewalk and close to the neighbors. That makes access and planning important. Before the job starts we look at how equipment will reach the work area, where the concrete will go and how the finished surface will drain, so there are no surprises on pour day.

On a smaller lot, every square foot counts. A stamped patio in a brick or tile pattern can make a narrow backyard feel finished, and a sitting wall along one edge adds seating without taking up much room. Colored concrete can tie the patio to the trim or the brick on the house.

Front Steps and Walkways

The front steps and walk are the first thing people see, and on older homes they’re often the first concrete to fail. We remove worn steps and walkways and replace them with new concrete, plain or stamped. A stone texture or a brick pattern can give an older house a refreshed entrance while still fitting its character and the street around it.

After the pour, give the new concrete at least 24 hours before walking on it. Through the winter, skip the rock salt: we don’t recommend deicers on any concrete. With over 30 years of concrete experience, our crew knows how much a little care adds to the life of new steps.

Driveways in a Walkable Town

Even in a walkable borough, the driveway gets daily use, and older aprons and narrow drives tend to crack where they meet the street. We replace them in plain or colored concrete, rebuild curbs where needed, and can add a stamped edge for a decorative touch. Plan on 72 hours before parking on the new driveway.
