ARTISTIC CREATIONS CONCRETE AVAILABLE
Artistic Creations: Transform Your Concrete into a Living Masterpiece
Go beyond traditional finishes and turn your concrete surfaces into a permanent gallery with our Artistic Creations finish. This specialized technique allows for the ultimate level of personalisation by placing objects, such as plants, leaves, or shells, directly into the wet concrete.
Once the concrete has cured and the objects are removed, they leave behind a beautiful, detailed base relief print.
This method is the definitive choice for homeowners and designers looking to create a one-of-a-kind, organic feature that harmonises perfectly with the natural environment.
WHY CHOOSE ARTISTIC CREATIONS CONCRETE?
One-of-a-Kind Bespoke Design
With Artistic Creations, no two slabs are ever the same. Because you choose the specific objects to be imprinted—whether it’s local flora, geometric shapes, or sentimental items—your concrete becomes a unique reflection of your style. It is the perfect way to add a personal, “hand-crafted” touch to garden paths, alfresco areas, or internal feature zones.
Striking Base Relief Detail
The beauty of this finish lies in its depth. Unlike a stamp or a stencil that sits on the surface, the base relief process creates a physical indentation that captures the intricate veins of a leaf or the delicate texture of a branch. This creates a stunning interplay of light and shadow, giving your floor or walkway a sophisticated, three-dimensional quality that evolves throughout the day.
Organic and Timeless Aesthetic
By using natural elements as your “tools,” the finished product feels like a natural extension of the landscape. It offers a rustic yet refined look that never goes out of style. When combined with our range of coloured concrete, you can create a high-end, earthy appearance that rivals expensive custom stonework while maintaining the legendary durability of concrete.
HOW IT WORKS
Creating a base relief artistic floor is a delicate process that requires patience and an eye for detail:
Selection and Layout: We work with you to select the objects for imprinting. These are typically flat, sturdy organic items like Monstera leaves, ferns, or large gum leaves that will leave a crisp impression.
The Embedding Process: Once the concrete is poured and leveled, the objects are carefully pressed into the surface while the concrete is still in its plastic state. Great care is taken to ensure they are flush with the surface for a clean imprint.
Curing and Removal: The concrete is left to set around the objects. Once it has reached the necessary hardness, the items are carefully peeled away, revealing the detailed “negative” image or base relief print left behind in the cured stone.
Cleaning and Sealing: Any organic residue is cleaned from the imprints. A high-quality sealer is then applied to highlight the intricate details and protect the textured recesses from dirt and moisture.
Please Note: Due to the custom nature of this finish, Artistic Creations are best suited for decorative feature areas such as entryways, garden borders, patio highlights, and internal focal points.

WHAT IS COLOURED CONCRETE?
Coloured concrete is the same substance as your generic ready-mix concrete, just with some added pigmentation for your desired colour. It is made up of cement, aggregates, water, and the colour pigment is added in the mixing process. When you use coloured concrete, you can choose whether you want to use this opportunity for the concrete to blend in with its surroundings or pull all the attention as the focal point. Adding colour to your concrete gives a new dimension to your project; this way, you can also accurately colour match any new concrete with an existing pour.
