Category — Decorative Concrete Engraving Case Studies

Wildfire in California left only the floor of this patio when it swept across the customer’s property. During the rebuilding process, the owner installed steel support posts to replace the burned wooden ones. The concrete patio had to be cut so different concrete could be poured to support the new posts. The new concrete against the old was simply plain and ugly.

Colors on Concrete owner, Marty Meewis was given the task of creating an engraving that would make everything look better. Marty based designs on the geometric reality of the new concrete and engraved more shapes to create a fluid look of varied, but collaborating geometrics.

The concrete wasn’t stained. The drama of the gray enhances the circles, squares, triangles and rectangles for an uncomplicated, yet intriguing design.

Chad Higgins and Jose Garcia are fire fighters in Amarillo, Texas when they aren’t engraving concrete. They are graduates of the May 2010 Discovery and Training Seminar.

The photo above is one of their first and favorite projects. The customer wasn’t sure what she wanted, so Chad and Jose designed something for her. They drew a rough sketch out on the sidewalk, but of course that didn’t represent the actual transformation. When the design all came together, the customer was, as Chad said, “Just blown away.”

They promised to keep this design unique and not copy it for other customers. The next wave of ‘other customers’ is coming from the neighborhood around this pretty engraving. The neighbors have seen this project and are asking “What can you do for my concrete?”

Chad says working on this design increased his cutting skills, especially cutting curves. The antiquing effect on the edges was done as a finishing touch-up, and has become one of the aspects of this project that Jose and Chad like best.

The word of mouth work has kept them so busy that they’ve only just ordered their yard signs to advertise their engraving business and have future plans for a website.

They’ll be needing one soon to display their spectacular work.
