Colored Concrete in Chattanooga, Huntsville, Nashville

Power Rental & Decorative Concrete Sales offers colored concrete supplies from our Chattanooga, Huntsville and Nashville locations. This is a process done for new concrete or concrete overlays. It allows you to choose a specific color as your base color throughout your concrete mix or on top of the entire surface.

Integral color is an excellent way to add consistent color to any driveway or patio to complement colors in the surrounding areas. Most concrete color is mixed into the concrete truck before the concrete is poured into the forms and tooled to finish the surface. There are alternatives, such as color hardeners, that allow the color to be added to the top of freshly poured concrete and bullfloated to harden the surface and absorb surface moisture.

ALL color charts provided indicate finished colors that have been properly sealed after all finishing work has been completed and may vary depending on the makeup of different concrete mixes and weather conditions.
