Unique Concrete

Unique Concrete Handcrafted Stone and Tile Unique Concrete is a decorative patterned concrete company. We have been serving northern New Jersey since 1980.

Unique Concrete is an owner operated and family run business that remains hands on for the entire job. With over 40 year of experience in the masonry trade and 34 years of creating patterns in colored concrete, we have the background and knowledge to approach each job in a creative and efficient way. Our mission is to create the most durable and realistic looking decorative concrete hardscape poss

ible, that is both cost effective and easy to maintain. In our pursuit of this goal, we have made innovations into the process of stamped concrete that are unique to our company. In order to make the concrete stronger, more durable and more resistant to cracking, we’ve added 2 ¼” structural synthetic fibers for three dimensional strength, to work in conjunction with varying sizes of steel rebar. This combination allows us to minimize the saw cuts which are necessary to control the potential for cracking. We then make these saw cuts less obvious by designing them into the pattern and hiding them in grout joints. We’ve also incorporated an integral water repellant into the mix to minimize the destructive effects of moisture in a freeze-thaw climate. Perhaps the most obvious aesthetic upgrade that we have incorporated into our construction process relates to our treatment of the grout. Our tools actually make deep impressions in the concrete to define the pattern and create the look individual pieces. These impressions are grouted and tooled in the same way that would be done for traditional custom masonry. The color difference between the stamps and grout is permanent. This process does not involve a simulated grout joint that relies on a superficial stain for a color difference. Finally, for pool areas and places that might encounter bare foot traffic, we rub the entire surface by hand with a grind stone to eliminate any sharp edges. These innovations create a product that will weather and wear like a concrete paver that is installed on a concrete sub -base. There is no weed growth and settlement issues. The product does not have to be resealed periodically to maintain the integrity of the surface color. If you are looking for a versatile product that is more decorative than plain concrete, more structurally sound than pavers, and more realistic looking than traditional stamped concrete, then Unique Concrete can provide you with a solution. We offer a top quality product at a competitive price. We have 19 patterns to choose from and a wide selection of integral colors for both the concrete and grout.

Early morning sun catches the texture just right. Notice both the depth of texture and grout joints. The depth in texture remains consistent throughout the job with our process and the deep grout joints ensure the grout will last.

Veterans monuments that were restored utilizing handcarved vertical concrete. The painted plaster coatings were flaking off and needed facelift. We removed anything that was not structural, as well as the bases around the monuments. The bases were finished to create the look of a split face bluestone. We created caps on each monument to compliment the bases. The vertical area was then carved to create the look of natural stone. Areas were left out to add new veteran plaques.

Vertical concrete carving process. Specially designed mix is applied to the wall, then carefully tooled and textured to achieve desired look. The first picture shows the raw mix applied to the wall on the left side, while the right side has already been carved. After concrete has cured out, stains are applied. Still some more work to go on this project but this gives a bit of insight to the process. The possibilities are endless with the looks that can be achieved.
