Marc Todd Concrete specializes in custom colored concrete design and installation. We work on patios, driveways, sidewalks, porches, floors, concrete slabs and other decorative concrete projects throughout Southwest Michigan and Northern Indiana. With over 35 years of experience, we create beautiful concrete surfaces that combine long-lasting durability with custom color and design.
We design each colored concrete project around the home, surrounding landscape and how the area will be used. You can choose natural earth tones, bold decorative colors or a custom color to complement your home. We help you select the finish that best fits your project.
Several methods can give concrete the look you want. Integral color is mixed throughout the concrete. It produces consistent color from top to bottom.
Acid staining chemically reacts with cured concrete to create rich, variegated tones. Dry-shake color hardener is troweled into the surface. It produces vibrant color and increases surface durability.
Each coloring method has its own benefits. During design, we help homeowners choose the option that best suits their home, landscaping and desired finished look.
Marc Todd Concrete also recolors and reseals existing decorative concrete that has faded or lost its original color over the years. We assess the concrete and properly prepare the surface. Then we apply new color and sealer to restore its appearance and help protect the renewed finish.
Colored concrete provides nearly unlimited design possibilities. Colors may be combined with stamped concrete patterns, decorative borders, exposed aggregate, contrasting accents and custom layouts to create a one-of-a-kind installation.
Decorative concrete can greatly enhance your property's curb appeal and provide years of dependable performance. It can be used for a colored concrete patio, driveway, sidewalk, porch, floor or slab.
For a naturally textured decorative surface, Marc Todd Concrete also installs exposed aggregate concrete for patios, sidewalks, steps, entrances and custom hardscapes. Exposed aggregate can incorporate integral color and paving-brick inlays for additional design detail.
Every successful colored concrete project begins with proper excavation, grading and a compacted stone base. We use steel reinforcement and quality concrete mixes for long-term durability. These help resist cracking caused by ground movement, freeze-thaw cycles and everyday use.
Proper concrete placement, finishing, coloring and curing are essential. They help decorative concrete retain its beauty and structural strength for many years.
At Marc Todd Concrete, every project is owner-supervised from start to finish. We bring over 35 years of concrete experience to the work. Quality materials, proven construction methods and careful attention to detail help us produce beautiful decorative concrete that is built to last.
Our work includes colored concrete patios, driveways, sidewalks, porches, floors, slabs and other decorative concrete features. Our goal is to give every customer a finished project that adds beauty, value and enjoyment to their property for years to come.
