Decorative & Specialty Concrete
Appearance & Performance for Your Project
Decorative, colored, exposed aggregate, high-strength, fiber-reinforced, and other project-specific mixes may be available based on project requirements and delivery area.
Kienstra Illinois works with homeowners, contractors, and project teams through our local plant network across Metro East Illinois.
Share your desired finish and project specifications so our team can review the available options.
Decorative Concrete Options
Coordinate your desired appearance with your contractor and confirm material options before placing an order.
Colored Concrete
Color can add character to patios, walkways, driveways, and other visible surfaces. Discuss color selection, the desired appearance, and project requirements with your contractor and our team.
Exposed Aggregate
These finishes reveal the stone at the concrete surface. Ask about available aggregates and review texture and appearance with your contractor. See our exposed aggregate information.
Concrete for Stamped Finishes
Stamped patterns are created during placement and finishing. Coordinate the planned finish with your contractor, and discuss the concrete mix and delivery schedule with Kienstra.
Kienstra supplies ready mix concrete and coordinates delivery. Your concrete contractor handles site preparation, placement, and decorative finishing.
Specialty Mixes for Project Requirements
Provide your project specifications so our team can review mix options. Additional technical information is available in our Concrete in Practice resources.
High-Strength Concrete
Discuss the specified strength, testing age, and other mix criteria before scheduling delivery.
Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
Options depend on the application and specifications. Share the specified fiber type and dosage, or review requirements with our team and your designer.
Project-Specific Mixes
Some projects call for particular admixtures, workability, setting characteristics, or placement requirements. Contact us early to discuss availability.
