Decorative concrete in Charlotte
Decorative concrete demand across Charlotte splits along the same lines as the housing stock. In the established neighbourhoods inside the loop, the work is usually small, detailed and access-constrained: a rear courtyard behind a house with a single gate, a front entry that has to sit correctly against original brick, a garden path that has to look as though it has always been there. Those jobs are won or lost on finish quality at close range rather than on scale. In the newer southern and northern parts of the city, the work is larger and more open — full outdoor living areas, pool decks and stamped patios on new-build lots where access is straightforward but where the ground is graded fill that has been settling since the house was finished. Both are decorative concrete and they are almost entirely different jobs.
