We started installing in 2007, and with every year since, we are gaining more expertise and experience, and additionally keeping current with new products on the market.
We will install in the state of Florida.
We are proud installers of Landscape Structures Inc. PebbleFlex® playground safety surface and AquaFlex® water play surfacing, certified for the state of Florida as our highest selling product.
It depends on how extensive the prep work is and the square footage of the job. For a residential pool deck for example, it takes approximately 2 days (this does not include curing time of the product.)
We will match our workmanship warranty to any of the product warranties we install.
If you are local to the Naples, Florida area, we will arrange an appointment upon your request. Areas beyond that we would prefer you use our request for an installation quote on our website.
Yes, we can supply all MSDS sheet information upon request in regard to the products we use to install on your job.
Yes, we cannot install any of the outdoor products in wet conditions or temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
At this time, we regret that we are not set up to receive payment in this manner.
We use proprietary products that are guaranteed to be the strongest and longest lasting epoxy rock surface in the industry. While some contractors think its just a mix and pour, the skills required to install a long lasting surface is something our company prides itself with along with outstanding customer service before, during, and after the sale.
No, this is a common competitor scare tactic. Each rock is individually coated with epoxy, one of the strongest bonding agents in the world. One loose rock doesn’t cause the others to fall out nor does it weaken the surface’s strength.
No, the porous nature of the rock allows you to blow out any dust, leaves, twigs, or other debris that happens to blow onto the surface. A standard leaf blower does the trick. However, for stains such as barbecue grease, oil, or if an animal has an accident on the surface, we recommend that you use Dawn detergent.
Our rocks are 100% natural and there is no fading of the stones, so the look you love will stay year after year unlike artificial products. Our epoxy has UV inhibitors to help it limit the ambering affects, however, over time the epoxy will slightly amber.
No. Although Epoxy Stone is strong, it is only as strong as the subsurface, so we do require a permanent surface such as cement to adhere the rock to. This surface can be cracked, damaged, or uneven all of which an Epoxy Stone Coating can correct.
In some areas with hard water or water that contains a high level of minerals, we suggest minimizing water hitting your surface on a daily basis. When you have water consistently spraying or dripping on any surface, it will leave a build up of calcium on the surface being hit. Just like if you sprayed your windows with hard water and they stained, or your car was hit with a sprinkler each day, a buildup of calcium and magnesium would begin to show up on the glass and paint. The same thing can happen with the outside walls of your home or decorative surfacing. We recommend all sprinkler heads to be pointed away from your Epoxy Stone surface and onto the areas that should be watered. However, should you need to remove watermarks, plain white household vinegar in a misting spray bottle works the best to remove the buildup. If the buildup is severe, you may wish to have us perform a cleaning of your surface.
Epoxy Stone is made of 100% natural stones. It is similar in heat retention to concrete. The lighter colors do reflect the suns rays a bit more than the darker colors. However, due to its porous nature, the stone surface cools faster than traditional concrete that retains heat all day only to release it all night.
While all surfaces can show tire marks over time, the individual epoxy coating of each rock will not absorb the tire marks, but rather just sit on the surface of the glue. These marks can easily be cleaned with mixture of 1 Tbsp. Dawn detergent and a pint of water in a spray bottle. Just wet the surface, mist with the detergent solution, and use a push broom to agitate the surface. Rinse completely. You can also use a pressure washer using the fan tip up to 2000 psi. In addition, if there is an area that tends to get dark marks, consider using a darker stone blend with a lighter border.
Yes, should a repair be needed, our rocks can easily be troweled into the damaged surface and most repairs are nearly undetectable. Please remind us to give you some extra stone for any future repairs.
No. Epoxy Stone is made for the surface and coping edges of the pool, but because it’s porous, it cannot go under the water. The product that you see inside of pools is called Pebble Tec. Pebble Tec uses smaller, decorative rocks similar to ours, but the installation process is different.
Yes. Because of its durability, animals will not damage the surface and it can be cleaned with a hose.
No. We encourage people to give it the “bare foot” test. We can give you a reference list of happy owners of this product. The rock is hand troweled smooth, so it’s similar to walking on concrete rather than gravel.
We warranty your Epoxy Stone surface for 1 year against delamination. We offer a clean and re-seal at a nominal charge to help extend the life of your surface, however a lot of this depends on how you keep your surface maintained/cleaned.
The Epoxy Stone surface is only as strong as the subsurface it is adhered too. While no one can predict if or when your subsurface may crack, we always install expansion strips to help minimize any cracking. The expansion strips are placed to follow the natural expansion strips in your existing surface. Should a crack occur elsewhere, we could repair the surface for a nominal charge.
The shine on the surface happens to be the result of the epoxy resin that we use to bind the rocks to each other and the surface. While the product does have a stark shine at first, it will, over time become more of a satin and/or flat finish. This however does not damage the strength of the epoxy rock. We use a UV stable epoxy on lighter color stone blends to help extend light damage protection.
A clean and seal is performed on the surface every 3 years or as needed, depending on how much traffic and use. This ensures the surface is clean and the epoxy bond remains strong. The first day of a clean and seal consists of pressure washing the surface at around 3800 psi (customer cleaning should never go over 2000 psi). This powerful wash strips off the old epoxy from the top of the rock. The following day the same type of epoxy is applied as when the stone was originally installed to strengthen the surface.
Yes, it does. Epoxy Stone can be applied in cold climates and goes through the freeze and thaw process without issue. When used with our exclusive expansion joint system, your concrete will be able to move where it’s supposed to, while still staying bonded to your surface in cold climates. You can shovel, use a snow thrower, and even de-ice with sodium chloride.
