Colored Concrete

Color That Lasts as Long as Your Concrete

Add rich tones or subtle warmth to your concrete project with integrally mixed color. Whether you’re looking to enhance a patio, driveway, or walkway, this is a durable, long-term way to bring character without the upkeep of paints or coatings.

How Colored Concrete Works

We use integrally colored concrete, which means the pigment is mixed directly into the concrete before it’s poured. This results in color that goes all the way through the slab—so it won’t chip, flake, or wear away like surface coatings.

The pigments are lightfast and weather-resistant, designed to maintain their appearance over time when properly mixed and sealed. Once properly sealed and maintained, the color can stand up well to weather, sunlight, and everyday wear.

Things That Affect the Final Color

While color pigments are consistent, concrete is made with natural materials—and those variables can affect how the finished product looks. Things like:

  • Cement type and source
  • Aggregates and sand used
  • Water content and mixing conditions
  • Jobsite temperatures and humidity
  • How the surface is finished and cured

That’s why we always clarify: what you see on a color card or screen may not match what you get in real life. It’s not a flaw—it’s part of how concrete behaves.

Choose from the Davis Colors System

We use Davis Colors—a well-respected brand offering one of the broadest and most trusted selections of concrete pigment blends available. With everything from soft gray tones to deep terra cotta and rich brown, you’ll find colors for:

  • Driveways and walkways
  • Backyard patios and pool decks
  • Commercial flatwork
  • Decorative stamped or textured surfaces
Want to preview a color? We can provide printed color cards or pour a small sample section on-site to help set expectations before committing to a full pour.

Pair It with the Right Finish

Concrete color can look dramatically different depending on the finish you choose. Some of the most popular options include:

  • Light or heavy broom finish
  • Stamped concrete with natural stone or tile patterns
  • Salt finish or exposed aggregate for more texture
  • Sand-blasted or troweled finishes for sleek or rustic looks

We’ll walk you through these options during your consultation.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

Every colored concrete project is unique. Because of the natural materials involved and varying jobsite conditions, there can be slight differences between sample cards and the finished pour. While we take every step to help you get a result you’ll love, exact color matches aren’t guaranteed.

That’s why we offer in-person consultations, physical sample cards, and the option for small test pours when needed.
