You walk out onto your patio or driveway and notice it—cracks, discoloration, maybe even a little chipping. You start to wonder, “Do I have to tear it all out and start over?” Not necessarily.

At CBD Concrete, one of our most transformative (and cost-effective) services is concrete overlays. Instead of removing and replacing old concrete, we resurface it with a fresh, durable layer that looks new—and sometimes even better than before.

What Exactly Is a Concrete Overlay?

A concrete overlay is a thin layer of specially mixed concrete applied over an existing surface. It bonds to the old concrete, hiding imperfections and giving you a clean slate—literally.

We customize overlays to match your needs. Whether it’s a simple broom finish for traction or a decorative stamped finish that mimics stone or brick, overlays can dramatically improve your space without the cost of a full replacement.

Ideal Surfaces for Concrete Overlays

We’ve installed overlays across all kinds of properties and situations. Here are some of the most common:

• Driveways with minor cracking or wear
• Patios that have lost their luster
• Walkways that need a facelift without disrupting landscaping
• Commercial entryways that need to look clean and professional
• Garage floors needing a smooth, resilient surface

As long as the existing surface is structurally sound, overlays are a smart and stylish solution.

Why Homeowners and Business Owners Choose Overlays

• Cost Savings: Overlays are often half the price of full replacement.
• Minimal Disruption: No demolition required—quicker turnaround times.
• Durability: Our overlays are built to last and handle foot or vehicle traffic.
• Customization: Choose your finish, texture, and even color.
• Eco-Friendly: Less waste compared to ripping out and disposing of old concrete.

Combine It with Decorative Flair

If you’re looking to level up your curb appeal or outdoor space, overlays pair perfectly with decorative concrete techniques. We can add patterns, borders, stains, or even a stamped stone look that matches your style.

Want a modern patio? A rustic-look driveway? We’ve got you covered.

When Is an Overlay NOT the Right Option?

If your existing concrete is severely cracked, sinking, or has major structural issues, an overlay might not hold. In those cases, we’ll walk you through alternatives—like full flat work replacement or concrete repair—to make sure you get the right solution, not just a quick fix.

Refresh, Don’t Replace

If your surface just needs a little love—not a full redo—a concrete overlay might be the upgrade you didn’t know you needed. It’s like giving your home or business a fresh coat of paint, but for the ground.
