Concrete is a versatile material. Concrete flatwork is what most people are familiar with. Typically it is used to create sidewalks, patios and driveways. There are many colors to choose from for the finish and many finishes to choose from. All concrete flatwork needs to be jointed. These are the straight lines visible in the concrete. These joint lines are straight depressions that create a weak spot in the concrete. All concrete wants to crack. The purpose of these lines is to control cracking by giving the crack a location that is not noticeable. The placement of these lines is paramount for concrete flatwork. When concrete cracks, these lines control the crack by directing the crack to follow the line. The secret to beautiful concrete work is the quality of the concrete, the skill of the concrete finisher, the style of finish, and the placement of the control joints. We place control joints where they serve their function and provide aesthetic beauty.
