With integrally colored concrete, the entire batch of concrete is colored all the way through, similar to adding food coloring to cake icing. We use powdered form integral color that is derived from natural iron-oxide pigments. The palette for integral pigments consists primarily of soft earth tones that integrate well with most landscapes and architectural elements. Unlike topical stains, the chief advantage of integral pigments is that the color extends throughout the entire planter, so even if surface abrasion occurs, the color will not wear away. The pigments in integral colors are also chemically stable and won’t fade over time from exposure to the weather or ultraviolet light.

While we do our best to accurately represent the product color and texture, image variations do occur. Colors and textures may appear differently based on screen and monitor settings, varying lighting sources, environmental factors, and photographic enhancement. Sealers will enhance and also darken the color. Please keep in mind that all pictures are for illustration purposes and the actual product may slightly vary from the photos. Requesting color samples is recommended.

Finishes

We offer 2 finish types, natural and smooth. The natural finish is just that, a lightly sanded surface with some occasional minor pitting and air bubbles. Intended to celebrate the natural raw look of stone, natural is our preferred finish. Minor pitting from air pockets is a normal part of cast stone manufacturing. We take the utmost care in our casting process to minimize surface pitting.

Natural finish surfaces can range from piece to piece. For those wanting a more refined look, the smooth finish is offered at a 25% upcharge. we patch any air bubbles and blend the surface area to produce a smooth surface finish. Especially in darker colors, occasional color differences may occur to patched areas. Sealers may enhance these differences. Please contact us for more information on finish differences.

For a minimal 7% upcharge, you can protect and enhance the planter surface by choosing to add sealer. Depending on location and environmental factors, you can expect typical buildup of dirt and dust over time. Sealers will both help to minimize cleaning efforts and can protect the surface from stains and abrasions. Sealers will also help minimize the chance of efflorescence in darker colors. We offer both matte and glossy sealers. Please note, the addition of sealers will change the overall product look and color. Matte sealer will slightly darken the product, while the glossy sealer will drastically enhance and darken the product. Beyond the practical reasons, adding sealer is a matter of aesthetics and personal preference. If you prefer the natural “raw” look of cast stone, we recommend not adding sealer. Please contact us for more information on sealers.
