The Concrete Polishing Group completed a stunning concrete grinding and honing project in Lara, Geelong, transforming the pool surrounds and outdoor entertaining areas of a modern residential property. The project showcases how professionally finished decorative concrete can create a seamless connection between a swimming pool, alfresco area and surrounding outdoor spaces.
Concrete grinding in Lara for a modern outdoor living space
The homeowners wanted a contemporary outdoor setting that complemented their new swimming pool and modern home design. Concrete grinding and honing provided an attractive solution, enhancing the natural character of the concrete while creating a consistent finish across the expansive outdoor areas.
Working with decorative concrete featuring Geostone Holcim’s Celestial mix, The Concrete Polishing Group focused on bringing out the aggregate within the surface. The grinding process reveals the stone beneath the concrete’s outer layer, creating subtle variations in colour and texture.
The result is a distinctive surface that complements the home’s neutral colour palette and contemporary architectural features.
Honed concrete pool surrounds and alfresco areas
The project included concrete grinding and honing around the swimming pool and throughout the adjoining outdoor entertaining areas.
A honed concrete finish is particularly well suited to outdoor applications where appearance, practicality and durability are important considerations.
Unlike highly polished indoor concrete, honed concrete offers a more understated appearance that works beautifully in outdoor environments. The exposed aggregate adds visual interest without overwhelming the surrounding landscaping or architectural design.
