Do You Want a Driveway or Do You Want a CUSTOM Driveway?

                STENCIL FINISH

Prior to ordering the concrete to construct your project, we prepare a sample of the custom color you select. This allows you to approve the shade as it will look after it dries. We can then lighten or darken the color to achieve the exact shade you want.

The physical work begins with tearing out the drab grey driveway or walk. The debris is disposed of in a rented dumpster.

Now the site is ready for setting the forms that will contain the concrete from the time it is poured until the time it dries. 

On the day of the pour, the crew stands ready as work must be done in a timely fashion. Stenciling is a two-color process. Immediately after the concrete is poured and smoothed, the stencils are positioned on the surface. 

A sufficient number of All Terrain Construction employees must be on site to complete the work quickly. The concrete cannot be allowed to dry out before the stencils are put in place. They are embedded into the wet concrete using a stencil roller.

Timing is crucial. Everything must be done at a specific time during the drying process. When the time is right, the second color is applied. This complementary color and the stencil pattern used will take your driveway or patio from the ordinary to the spectacular. 

After the concrete has dried sufficiently, the wooden forms are removed and your stenciled driveway in the two complementary colors you selected is complete.

All Terrain Construction works with each homeowner to design and build your driveway, patio or rounded steps to add a distinctive feature to your property.

Your new home improvement project is designed by the owner and he oversees each project from start to finish. You are assured of quality.
