The finish gallery.
Concrete photographs badly and lives beautifully. Here is a closer look at the driveways, patios, walls, and slabs Grayline has poured across the Treasure Valley.
North End · Residential
An 1,800 square foot stamped patio for a 1920s bungalow.
The brief was a large outdoor room that never announced it was new. We used a seamless slate-texture stamp and an antique walnut stain, then hand-worked the grout lines so the surface reads as aged stone the day it cures.
- Seamless slate stamp, antique walnut chemical stain
- Integral drainage to a dry creek bed
- Penetrating matte seal for a natural, low-sheen finish
Meridian · Commercial
A 15,000 square foot monolithic slab, poured through a January freeze.
A commercial facility needed a high-tolerance, level floor on a hard deadline in the coldest month of the year. Winter pour protocols kept the slab in spec: ground-thawing blankets, a heated mix, and insulated curing.
- FF/FL floor-flatness tolerance held across the pour
- Heated mix and thermal blankets for a cold-weather cure
- Saw-cut control joint plan to manage a large monolithic area
Eagle · Residential
Exposed aggregate on a steep drive, for grip that looks intentional.
A fifteen degree incline needed traction without looking like a utility surface. A seeded exposed aggregate finish with local river rock gave the driveway grip through the winter and a texture that suits the hillside home above it.
- Seeded local river-rock aggregate
- Penetrating sealer tuned for slip resistance
- Thickened edges and reinforcement for the grade
Boise Bench · Residential
Tiered retaining walls that hold a slope and frame a garden.
Where most retaining walls are purely functional, this one had to double as the spine of a terraced garden. We poured board-formed tiers with integral drainage so the hillside stays put and the planting beds drain clean.
- Board-formed concrete tiers
- Weep and channel drainage behind every course
- Grade engineered for the Bench's clay soils
