STYLE MEETS STRENGTH: TRANSFORM YOUR OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE Concrete Chic One of our most popular materials for exterior projects these days is as old as civilization itself — concrete. Beautiful brushed, stamped versions of this everyday material are growing in popularity as a stylish, affordable outdoor hardscape. Concrete has a clean, minimalist aesthetic, and it can mimic brick, wood, or stone at a small fraction of the cost. Different finishes, stamps, stains, and sealers can give brushed concrete almost any look, from rustic to contemporary. Concrete hardscapes can be a great fit for customers whose homes have only a small or no step down onto the ground. There’s no need to build framing to support a deck, and it eliminates the risk of rot in a deck that lacks adequate clearance. Also, a concrete hardscape can be built to fit a surface of any shape. Folks who are building a curved retaining wall or a circular space for a firepit can design a concrete base in a variety of shapes and colors. Concrete also forms a great foundation for our Sunspace Sunrooms or louvered pergolas. Our concrete installers approach their art with care, excavating the site to lay a 4–8-inch base of packed gravel and framing the area to the desired shape. Pending dry, favorable weather, they pour the concrete in a day and wait until conditions are exactly right to apply the stamps. Then, they give the concrete time to cure before adding base color and accents to create the desired finish. Once installed, concrete is low-maintenance and requires re-sealing only every 3–5 years. If you have any doubts about its durability or versatility, take a look at the Pantheon — one of the ancient Romans’ many concrete landmarks, which still stands today! Our customers are often surprised to learn that concrete affords them all those benefits, at a significantly lower cost than a deck. If you would like to explore uses for our brushed, stamped concrete hardscapes around your home, call us for a consultation today!

CNS Testimonials “CNS Cousins Construction did a fantastic job rebuilding my deck. Ryan and his team worked through some very inclement weather to complete the job. They went above and beyond with their attention to detail and quality workmanship. They’ll be replacing the siding on the addition to the house next, and I’m looking forward to the same excellent results.” –John Shimkus
