5 Ways to Use Concrete in Your Outdoor Landscape Design
March 11, 2024

Concrete may sound basic, but in the hands of a skilled contractor, it becomes one of the most versatile tools in landscape design. Whether you want a sleek modern finish or a decorative touch that mimics stone or tile, concrete installation offers both beauty and durability for any outdoor project.

At Unlimited Landscaping, we bring creativity and craftsmanship to every concrete project—big or small. Here are five smart and stylish ways to use concrete in your outdoor space.

1. Concrete Patios

A concrete patio is one of the most popular and cost-effective upgrades for outdoor living. It provides a clean, solid foundation for seating, dining, and entertaining areas.

Choose from standard smooth finishes or go bold with stamped concrete that mimics natural stone, brick, or wood patterns.

Pro Tip: Pair your patio with a pergola, fire pit, or outdoor kitchen for a complete backyard oasis.

2. Walkways and Garden Paths

Guide guests through your landscape with concrete walkways that are both functional and attractive. We can customize the shape, texture, and layout to match your yard’s style and improve accessibility.

Decorative edging, exposed aggregate, or stained concrete can take your paths to the next level.

3. Driveways That Last

A concrete driveway offers long-term performance and curb appeal. It’s strong enough to handle heavy vehicles and can be designed to complement your home’s exterior.

Stamped borders, color accents, or broom finishes add visual interest while keeping your driveway low-maintenance and durable.

4. Pool Decks with Style

Concrete is an excellent choice for pool decking, thanks to its ability to stay cool, resist slipping, and handle water exposure. Choose textured finishes or light-colored sealants for comfort and safety.

Pair your concrete pool deck with lighting and turf to create a resort-like setting in your own backyard.

5. Seating Walls and Borders

Concrete isn’t just for flatwork—you can also use it for decorative walls, edging, or built-in seating. These hardscape elements define your space and add both form and function.

Custom concrete borders help separate grass from garden beds or patios, giving your yard a clean, polished look.
