Cement Contractors Michigan - Residential & Commercial

DRIVEWAY REPLACEMENT: When replacing an existing driveway we start by removing the old concrete and hauling it away. Next we install a crushed concrete base that's also called 21aa, it is important to start with a good base to insure your driveway will be supported with a solid footing. A compactor is used to compact the crushed concrete for extra support. Next the forms are installed and checked for proper drainage, all water should be going away from your house.Steel rods reinforcements will be installed in the entire project and then your cement will be poured. We use a 6 bag mix concrete, this is the best concrete that can be used for outside work. The fresh cement is hand troweled and light broom finished. When the cement as cured we cut the control joints in with a diamond blade saw, this insures proper movement during the winter months. We take pride in concrete work installation and make sure we use the best materials for the best results. We hope you consider Biondo Cement for your next concrete project and we thank you for your business.

Stamped Concrete Patio Designs

PATIO DESIGN IDEAS: When a homeowner thinks about a shape for a patio, they should take into consideration where their patio furniture is going to be placed.  Once that is established we can start on your patio design.  We will make sure that not only does your patio have an elegant look, all your space will be utilized comfortably.  Establishing the height of your concrete patio is also important, because that is going to determine how many steps will be installed at your door wall.  We like to install wider and deeper steps because they are more comfortable coming out of your door wall.  When choosing an elegant patio shape we have many colors, patterns, shapes, and stone facing options that will add beauty and class to your patio designs.  Staining your decorative patio is also an option.  With many colors to pick from, these stains will break up the color combinations between your border and the rest of your patio pattern.  Randomly staining different blocks in your patio is an option if preferred.  When choosing an integral color for your patio, we start by showing you a color chart, release samples and also actual concrete "sample boards" which show different color combinations right in your home.  We find that this hands on visual approach is the best way for home owners to make sure that they will achieve the colors that suit their style and home best.  There are many patio design ideas to choose from and we can help you make the right choice!
