What is Concrete Honing

Concrete Pool Surrounds

The use of decorative concrete for concrete pool surrounds is one of the most well-known applications. You may pick from a variety of beautiful concrete mixes to create a one-of-a-kind design for your pool surrounding that complements your home's style.

Decorative concrete is used to make the finest pool surrounds in a variety of styles, including honed concrete, exposed aggregate, coloured or grey concrete.

Honed concrete is, however, the most desirable finish for a pool surround. We can transform concrete pool surrounds into smooth and stylish surfaces as one of Sydney's few PoolEdge System formwork installers. Fiberglass or concrete pools can be equipped with the PoolEdge System formwork. From inception to completion, our signature honed concrete pool surrounds are produced.

CHOOSING A DECORATIVE CONCRETE MIX.

Here are the choices you have when you decide to go with decorative concrete installation:

Coloured Concrete

Coloured concrete is a popular service in the Lower North Shore that provides an eye-catching finish. You may choose from a range of coloured oxides that are added to the concrete mix, to produce the appearance you desire.

Exposed Aggregate Lower North Shore

One of the most popular choices for decorative concrete is exposed aggregate. The process involves selecting an exposed aggregate mix from either of our two suppliers, which are Ablestone or Geostone; after the concrete is in place, we apply a product called prime exposure and return the next day to expose the stones to high-pressure cleaning in the area. The end result is a textured, one-of-a-kind finish that’s uniquely yours.

Honed Concrete

For anyone running a home business, the simple, contemporary design of honed concrete floors makes for easy maintenance and a durable, non-hazardous option for flooring. Concrete that is honed will have a smooth surface that is used in outdoor spaces where slip-resistant surfaces are a must.

Things to Consider

Choosing the right decorative concrete mix for your project is a bit more difficult than it may appear. The first thing to consider is the overall aesthetic look you’re aiming for. Do you want a sleek and modern design or a more rustic look? Secondly, what will fit in with the rest of the environment, such as the landscaping style and colours of the structures around us. 

If you’re not sure what texture and colour to use for your property on the Lower North Shore, our team of experts at Mason Concreting can help. We’ve worked with many people over the years, so we know how to best match each customer’s unique preferences when it comes to selecting a finish.

Durability

Decorative concrete is a fantastic option for walkways, driveways, and patios that see a lot of foot traffic. It’s easy to maintain and can endure for years without requiring much attention.

Low Maintenance

The beauty of the decorative concrete finish is that it requires very little maintenance. A thorough sweep and a hose down are generally all that is required to keep the area looking good, but sealing can also assist with longevity-another service we offer.

Versatility

There are a variety of ways to achieve decorative concrete finishes that will give your home that perfect look. We’ve got it all, from sleek and contemporary to rustic and classic.

Decorative Concrete Can Enhance Landscaping Designs

Decorative concrete is the perfect addition to any elegant landscaping design. It’s also possible to use it for pathway and patio construction, as well as driveways. These are all hardscape features that would complement the soft-scaping designs around your home.

FAQs.

We can handle the whole installation procedure in-house at Mason Concreting. This includes earthworks, formwork, steel, concrete supply and finishing. We also ensure that saw cuts are completed within 24 hours of the concrete being poured, to minimise the risk of shrinkage cracks. If we have installed honed concrete, our staff will be completing the honing process approximately two weeks after the concrete has been poured.
If you choose colored concrete or exposed aggregate, we strongly advise sealing the area to guarantee protection and longevity for your new concrete. The procedure is simple and typically takes two days to complete. To allow enough time for the concrete to cure, sealing is usually completed 28 days after the concrete has been poured.

The surface of honed concrete is smooth and matte Exposed aggregate is similar to honed concrete in that the stones are exposed.

However, a textured surface is produced by applying a special chemical called prime exposure, which is washed away the next day after the concrete pour. 

Each time we pour concrete, we use a beautiful mix from one of our two providers, Geostone or Ablestone. The mix selected will determine how the overall concrete finish appears. Whether you’d like a smooth finish or enjoy a textured appearance is up to you – for more information, check out our honed concrete page.

Decorative concrete is easy to maintain. All that is required is a good sweep and a light hose down. For long-term upkeep, a deep high pressure clean and reapplication of sealer can be done every few years.
There are several decorative concrete mixes to select from. Our two suppliers are Geostone and Ablestone – Contact us today to receive the latest range charts.
Typically, it takes about four to five days to complete the procedure, including any earthworks, for around 50-100 m2. If concrete sealing is required, this will take place at a later time after the concrete has cured and this process will take one to two days.
The cost per m2 for decorative concrete is typically lower than that of other materials such as cobblestones and pavers, which necessitate the installation of a concrete blinding slab. The price per m2 for decorative concrete varies based upon the concrete mix that you choose.
