Many of you may be aware of the recent spike in popularity of decorative concrete in a variety of applications. Concrete remains one of the most durable, functional, reliable building materials available.  Through the use of integral colors, dry-shake color hardeners and similar products, fresh concrete need no longer be gray, monotone and drab looking.  Decorative concrete work is a fast-growing segment of the concrete industry.  Tom Ward (Des Moines - Metro office) sent these pictures as an example of the type of decorative concrete projects we offer at Manatt's, Inc.  Some may recognize the entrance to the Sully Irish Pub in West Des Moines.
