ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

At Grandis Design & Build, we create elevated concrete spaces for homeowners, builders, and property managers across Southern Ontario. From striking driveways and patios to structurally sound garage floors, basements, and commercial pours, our work blends strength, precision, and thoughtful design. We approach every project with discipline, craftsmanship, and a commitment to excellence — delivering results that not only meet expectations, but quietly surpass them. Our reputation is built on consistency, professionalism, and the confidence that comes from doing the job right the first time. We believe concrete should enhance both the appearance and long-term value of a property, which is why we focus on clean execution, refined finishes, and structural integrity in every detail. When clients choose us, they’re choosing a team that takes pride in its work and stands firmly behind every project we complete.

Finish 01
Broom Finish
The classic, reliable, slip-resistant finish for everyday concrete

Broom finish is the most widely used residential concrete finish. After the slab is poured and levelled, a broom is dragged across the surface while the concrete is still wet, creating fine parallel ridges that provide excellent traction underfoot. It's clean, durable, and versatile.

  • Clean, uniform texture — neat and low-maintenance
  • Excellent slip resistance, especially when wet
  • Available in standard grey or with integral colour
  • Most cost-effective option for larger areas
  • Can be paired with a decorative border for added character
  • Works on virtually any flat concrete application

💡 Tip: pair a broom-finished field with a stamped or exposed aggregate border to elevate the look without a large cost increase.

Stamped Concrete
Patterns and colour that mimic stone, brick, slate, and more

Stamped concrete uses rubber mats pressed into freshly poured concrete to imprint realistic textures and patterns. Combined with colour hardeners and antique release agents, the result closely replicates the look of natural stone, wood, brick, or slate at a fraction of the cost.

  • Wide variety of patterns: flagstone, cobblestone, slate, brick, wood plank
  • Two-tone depth: colour hardener base + antique release accent
  • Ideal for patios, pool decks, and front entries
  • Sealed for protection and enhanced colour
  • Can be customised with contrasting border patterns
  • More decorative appeal than standard finishes

Finish 03
Exposed Aggregate
Natural stone texture revealed from within the concrete itself

Exposed aggregate is created by washing away the top layer of cement paste shortly after the pour, revealing the natural stones and pebbles embedded in the mix. The result is a beautifully textured, naturally slip-resistant surface with an organic, timeless look.

  • Unique natural texture — no two slabs look identical
  • Highly slip-resistant — excellent for pool decks and walkways
  • Colour varies based on the aggregate blend selected
  • Durable and long-lasting with proper sealing
  • Can include coloured or specialty aggregates
  • Popular choice for driveways across all home styles

Colour Options
Integral colour, hardeners, antique release, and colour tints

Colour transforms plain grey concrete into a design element. We offer four colouring techniques that can be used individually or in combination — each produces a distinct look ranging from subtle earth tones to bold, vibrant hues.

  • Integral Colour — pigment blended throughout the entire mix
  • Colour Hardener — dry shake applied to surface for dense, rich colour
  • Antique Release — contrasting accent highlights pattern depth
  • Colour Tints — translucent stains applied after curing
  • Dozens of standard colours; custom blends on request
  • Can be combined with any finish type

Polished & Stained
Smooth, refined surfaces with a custom tinted or reflective finish

Polished and stained concrete delivers a sleek, contemporary look ideal for garage floors, interior slabs, and modern outdoor spaces. The surface is ground progressively smoother using diamond tooling, then sealed or stained to achieve the desired sheen and colour.

  • Polished to a smooth, reflective surface
  • Various sheen levels available — matte to high-gloss
  • Acid staining creates unique, variegated natural tones
  • Water-based tints for consistent, predictable colour
  • Extremely durable and easy to clean once sealed
  • Modern aesthetic — pairs well with contemporary homes

Decorative Borders & Details
Contrasting inlays, bands, and combination finishes

Decorative borders are one of the most effective ways to elevate the appearance of a concrete slab. A contrasting border — in a different texture, colour, or pattern — frames the main field and creates a finished, intentional look that sets your project apart.

  • Contrasting border bands around the main slab
  • Stamped border around a broom or aggregate field
  • Custom inlays: geometric shapes, compass roses, logos
  • Saw-cut joints used as a design element
  • Multiple border widths to suit any project scale
  • Mix and match finishes for a truly custom result
