Mixed-finish inlay designs allow you to combine different textures, colours, or patterns within a single concrete surface to create a highly customized, decorative result. By integrating finishes like broom, exposed aggregate, smooth trowel, or stamped concrete in planned sections, we create borders, accents, or design elements that elevate the visual appeal of your patio, driveway, or entryway.
These inlays are carefully laid out before the pour, formed with precision, and finished using different techniques, all within the same slab. The result is a one-of-a-kind concrete installation that balances structure and artistry.
Where Mixed-Finish Inlays Work Best
This premium feature is often used to make high-traffic or high-visibility areas stand out.
– Decorative borders around patios or walkways
– Contrasting panels or textures in driveways or courtyards
– Smooth control pads surrounded by textured finishes
– Visual separation between zones (e.g., dining vs. walking areas)
– Highlighting entryways, stairs, or custom design features

– Can be paired with colour, stain, or decorative edging
– Final result is durable, functional, and tailored to your aesthetic
