Concrete Pool Surround in Northern Virginia

Concrete Pool Surround in Northern Virginia | Blackwater Designer Concrete

Why settle for the “cookie cutter” concrete pool surround, when you can have a one-of-a-kind pool deck from Blackwater Designer Concrete?

Concrete Pool Surround in Northern Virginia | Blackwater Designer Concrete

Decorative concrete has opened the doors to creating pool decks that complement the exterior of the home, meld with the outdoor environment, and replicate exotic and traditionally expensive materials such as slate, stone or even wood; at a fraction of the cost. Plus, you get the most ideal pool deck surface–one which combines beauty, durability, and low maintenance with the huge amount of decorative options not possible
with other materials. For additional safety, an anti-slip finish can be applied by using our favorite Con-Crete Werks’ anti-skid agent.

We love this custom concrete pool surround, installed by the professionals here at Blackwater. When you’re ready to transform your outdoor space, give us a call and we’ll give you a free estimate!

Seamless Texture Patio with Decorative Concrete Wall

Seamless Texture Patio with Decorative Concrete Wall

If you’re looking for a way to add subtle texture to your new concrete, a seamless texture stamp is an excellent option.

Seamless stamps, also called ‘texture skins’, give concrete a stone-like texture, but without a pattern. Instead, your concrete will appear to be one continuous piece of stone with no visible joints.

Seamless Texture Patio with Borders and Decorative Concrete Wall

In this recent project, we used a seamless texture stamp and added borders and decorative concrete walls to define the space. We couldn’t be happier with the final look!

Patio with Decorative Concrete Walls

Concrete walls don’t need to just hold dirt back – they can be a decorative piece in your yard or patio. Well placed seating walls are a simple and low cost way to incorporate a focal point that also serves as an entertaining area, as well as a showcase for design materials such as natural stone, into any outdoor garden space.

Because of the numerous decorative options that can be used, concrete walls do not need to be basic, gray and aesthetically unpleasing. They can be made to look like block or stone and colored to match your landscaping, making concrete a better alternative to stacked block walls.
