Engraved and Etched Concrete
Engraving and etching cut a design right into the surface of the concrete. We use saws and grinders to carve borders, scrolls, tile-like grids and logos, and we add stain or color in the lines, so the surface looks like tile, stone or a custom inlay.

Common questions
Is engraving the same as stamping?
No. Stamping presses a pattern into wet concrete. Engraving cuts a design into concrete that has already set, so it can be done on existing slabs.
Can you engrave a logo?
Often yes, depending on the size and the detail. We talk it through and make a template first.
