Project Overview

Clean geometric lines and multi-level steps define this modern sand finish concrete patio in Waller. The project features a consistent sand finish that provides a subtle, uniform texture with excellent slip resistance, making it ideal for outdoor living areas. The design thoughtfully connects the home's entrances with the surrounding landscape through a series of walkways and tiered surfaces. Precision is evident in the crisp, defined edges of the steps and the strategically placed saw-cut control joints, which create a clean grid pattern while ensuring long-term durability. A gracefully curving path flows from the main patio into the garden, offering a soft contrast to the angular structure of the primary entertainment space. This installation unifies the property's exterior, creating a functional and visually cohesive environment built with meticulous attention to form and finish.

Things to Know

01

How does a sand finish improve safety on concrete walkways that have steps or slight inclines?

A sand finish creates a fine, gritty surface texture. This increases the coefficient of friction compared to a smooth or troweled finish, providing superior grip underfoot. This quality is especially beneficial for reducing the risk of slipping on steps or sloped areas, particularly in wet or damp conditions.

02

What is the best way to maintain a sand finish concrete patio located near trees and landscaping?

Regularly sweep away leaves and organic debris to prevent staining. For cleaning, use a gentle detergent and a soft-bristle brush or a pressure washer on a low setting. Avoid harsh, acidic cleaners that can etch the delicate surface texture. Sealing the concrete every few years will also help protect it.
