Celebrating the Craft Behind Decorative Concrete
For National Construction Appreciation Week, we’re recognizing just some of the stunning work completed by our decorative concrete artisans.It’s National Construction Appreciation Week, and we’re taking time to recognize the talent and dedication that goes into building the spaces where we live, work, and play. At SUNDEK, we deeply appreciate our decorative concrete artisans who go above and beyond to make our clients’ visions come to life. Here, we share some projects that display how SUNDEK crews elevate functional spaces, transforming them into works of art.
Timeless Surfaces
When the new owner at the Ashcombe Mansion in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, began restoring the historic property to be used as a venue, she reached out to SUNDEK of Pennsylvania for help with some of the surfaces. Using Classic Texture, SUNDEK crews elevated the Grand Terrace (shown here) and ballroom in custom, complementary patterns that are not only durable but also fit the mansion’s timeless elegance.

Eye-Catching Play Space
For the Alliance Children’s Garden in Butler Park, the city of Austin envisioned something special for the space. Wanting to make it unlike other kids’ outdoor play areas, they contacted SUNDEK of Austin to execute the ambitious design. In addition to an intricately designed wall that runs along the park, they resurfaced a climbing wall (pictured), a cheese wall, and other surfaces that make the park an exciting place for kids to explore and play.

Pool Area Glow-Up
When homeowners in Baytown, TX, consulted SUNDEK of Houston about their desire for a decorative surface for their pool deck, they were a little unsure of exactly what they wanted. At first, they considered a knockdown texture for its practical qualities, but ultimately decided they wanted something a little fancier (however, they didn’t want it to break the bank). That’s when SUNDEK of Houston introduced them to the idea of using Tuscan, SUNDEK’s hand-crafted texture finish. The decorative application completely refreshed the space, taking the pool area from a basic space to a gorgeous retreat.
Revitalized Rooftop
The rooftop pool deck at BLVD Reston Station, a luxury apartment complex near Washington, D.C., was beginning to deteriorate, causing a big problem for the property. When the pool began leaking into the offices and residential spaces below, owners contacted SUNDEK of Washington for a consultation. Fortunately, SUNDEK had a solution: remove the failing coating and resurface the rooftop deck with SUNDEK’s waterproofing system that’s both functional and gorgeous.
Splash Pad Artistry
McMullen County Heritage Park in Tilden, Texas, is now home to a vibrant splash pad and play area designed with custom colors, textures, and intricate motifs inspired by the local landscape. During construction, stakeholders requested that SUNDEK of San Antonio make significant design and color changes, requiring the crew to redo most of the surface. Thanks to their flexibility and attention to detail, the team successfully adapted to the revisions and delivered a durable, slip-resistant play space that will serve the community for years to come.
Driveway Makeover
When homeowners set out to upgrade their cracked, damaged driveway, they contacted SUNDEK of Nashville and other decorative concrete companies. Their priorities were clear: address the surface issues and create something safer for Nashville’s rainy and snowy weather. SUNDEK recommended resurfacing the driveway with SunCoat and SunStamp for a slip-resistant, customizable finish. Instead, the homeowners went with another contractor’s stain-and-colorband solution—but within six months, they called SUNDEK back. This time, SUNDEK delivered exactly what they’d proposed, leaving the homeowners thrilled with a durable, low-maintenance surface that enhances their home’s exterior.
