By Ryan O’Connor M arcelo Mancini began his journey in the landscaping industry 25 years ago, working on a project for his newly founded concrete company. One day, he received a request for a custom limestone finish — a task that would not just satisfy his client, but also spark the creation of a signature offering that would set off Elite Concrete's sustained success. “We started working with the designer, experimenting with different methods to achieve the desired finish, eventually settling on a wash technique instead of sandblasting,” said Mancini. “After the project was complete, we continued to test it elsewhere and decided to make it our main formula after it received compliments for its smooth look.” Today, Mancini runs one of Toronto's most prominent concrete companies, with his original limestone formula at the forefront of its popularity. Initially focused on residential stamped concrete, Marcelo transitioned to primarily architectural concrete when he saw the potential for his business to flourish. “When we created Elite Concrete and soon after our limestone finish, they started to feed off of each other,” explains Mancini. “Our product had a unique look and was high quality, and we started using it in installations. It was the perfect formula.” What began with Mancini and a single crew has since expanded into an extensive operation with six crews operating across the six municipalities that make up the Greater Toronto Area.
