Engraved and Scored Concrete
Scoring and engraving add pattern to a plain slab by cutting lines into the surface. Squares, diamonds, borders and custom shapes break up large areas, hide control joints and give a modern, tailored look to patios, driveways and floors.

Common questions
Can I score an existing slab?
Yes, most sound slabs can be scored. We check the layout, the joint locations and any cracks first.
Is scored concrete different from tile?
It looks like tile with no grout lines to clean. The cuts can be sealed or filled to suit.
