Decorative concrete in Mountain View is regular concrete that has been colored, stamped, or textured to look like stone, slate, brick, or tile - most residential projects take two to four days from start to finish, and a well-sealed surface can last 25 years or more with basic upkeep.
If your driveway looks tired, your patio is cracked and stained, or you are converting a lawn to a more usable outdoor space, decorative concrete gives you a durable surface that actually looks finished. It handles Mountain View's wet winters and dry summers without the annual maintenance that wood decking or pavers require.
Decorative finishes work on new pours and, in many cases, on existing slabs that are structurally sound. If your patio slab is in good shape but looks dated, a resurfacing overlay can transform it without a full demo. And if you are thinking about a complete outdoor upgrade, our stamped concrete services walk you through pattern and color options in detail.
If you can see cracks running across your driveway or patio, or if sections have lifted unevenly, the surface has been stressed - often by the clay soils common in Mountain View that shift with the wet and dry seasons. Small hairline cracks can sometimes be repaired, but widespread cracking or heaving usually means the slab needs to be replaced and the base rebuilt properly.
If your driveway or patio is stained, discolored, or just plain dull, it affects how your entire home looks from the street. In Mountain View's competitive real estate market, curb appeal matters - and an outdated concrete surface is one of the easier things to transform. Decorative concrete can make a space look completely new without the cost of switching to a different material.
Many Mountain View homeowners are removing grass to reduce water use and create more practical outdoor areas. If you are adding a patio, extended driveway, or seating area where lawn used to be, decorative concrete is one of the most durable and attractive ways to do it. It handles foot traffic, patio furniture, and Bay Area rain without the upkeep that wood or pavers require.
Pool decks take a beating - constant moisture, sunscreen, and foot traffic wear surfaces down quickly. If your pool deck feels slippery when wet, has stains that will not wash off, or has cracks that are widening, it is worth getting a professional opinion. A resurfaced decorative concrete pool deck can be finished with a texture that is both slip-resistant and comfortable underfoot.
We work with the full range of decorative concrete finishes - stamped patterns that replicate stone or brick, integral and acid-stained color, exposed aggregate for a natural textured look, and polished concrete for interior floors. Every finish starts with proper base preparation and correctly placed control joints, because no surface treatment fixes a poorly built foundation.
For homeowners planning a full outdoor refresh, we also handle the structural work. Our concrete retaining walls can define grade changes and create usable flat areas to work with your new decorative surfaces. Every project is sealed before we leave, protecting the color and finish from the start.
Best for homeowners who want the look of stone, slate, or cobblestone without the installation cost.
Integral pigments or acid stains give driveways and patios a custom look that ties to the home's exterior palette.
A textured, slip-resistant finish that reveals natural pebbles in the mix - a good fit for pool decks and walkways.
A smooth, reflective interior floor finish that is easy to clean and well-suited to converted garages and ADU spaces.
Mountain View's Mediterranean climate - warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters - means outdoor surfaces are in use almost year-round. That makes them worth investing in. Decorative concrete does not need irrigation the way a lawn does, holds up to the Bay Area sun without fading when sealed properly, and handles winter rain without the rot or shifting that can affect wood or interlocking pavers. It is also a smart choice for homeowners reducing their yard's water demand.
In neighborhoods with high home values, the condition of your driveway and patio is one of the first things buyers and appraisers notice. Homes from the postwar era that are still sitting on their original concrete surfaces have a visible opportunity for improvement. Homeowners across the region - from established neighborhoods in Cupertino to the hillside properties of Los Altos - are choosing decorative concrete as a lasting alternative to surfaces that need constant maintenance. A well-designed surface also reflects the care put into the rest of the property.
Reach out by phone or through our contact form. We will schedule a time to come see the space, measure, and talk through your design ideas. We respond within one business day.
You will receive a written quote that breaks down every cost, and you will choose your color, texture, and pattern from real samples. We handle the permit application if your project requires one - which is common for driveways and larger patios in Mountain View.
We prepare the site, remove old concrete if needed, and lay a proper gravel base before the pour. The decorative finish is applied while the concrete is still workable - this phase typically happens in a single day for most residential projects.
After curing - at least 24 to 48 hours for foot traffic, up to a week for vehicles - we apply a sealer that protects the color and surface from day one. We walk the finished area with you before we leave and go over care instructions.

(650) 582-0077Santa Clara County's expansive clay soils are one of the main reasons decorative concrete cracks and heaves in this area. We account for soil conditions on every project - proper excavation depth, compacted gravel base, and correctly spaced control joints. Those steps are what give your surface a fighting chance against seasonal ground movement.
Decorative concrete flatwork in Mountain View typically requires a city permit. We manage the application, scheduling, and inspection from start to finish. Your project is on record with the city, which matters when you sell your home or need to make an insurance claim.
A significant portion of Mountain View's residential neighborhoods have HOA guidelines that affect exterior finishes. We ask about HOA requirements upfront and help you choose a design that will pass review. We have seen what happens when that step is skipped - it is not a mistake worth making.
Every decorative surface we install is sealed before the crew leaves. That sealer protects the color, texture, and surface from stains and moisture from day one - not as an afterthought. We also give you clear guidance on resealing every two to three years to keep the surface looking its best.
