How Decorative Concrete Can Transform Your Office Building’s Outdoor Spaces By Meyer Construction Co.
When it comes to commercial spaces, first impressions matter. Whether you’re welcoming new clients, potential hires, or daily staff, the exterior of your office building sets the tone. And while landscaping and architecture get much of the attention, there’s one game-changing element that often gets overlooked: decorative concrete.
At Meyer Construction, we’ve seen firsthand how custom concrete work can completely transform the look, feel, and function of an outdoor space. It’s more than just a surface—it’s a statement.
Why Decorative Concrete?
You might be picturing plain gray slabs. That’s not what we’re talking about.
Decorative concrete allows you to blend function with beauty. With a variety of colors, patterns, textures, and finishes, you can create walkways, patios, courtyards, and entry areas that complement your branding, improve usability, and elevate your curb appeal—all without sacrificing durability.
Let’s break down how decorative concrete can take your office building’s outdoor space to the next level.
1. Impress Visitors with a Polished Entryway
Your entrance is the first thing people notice. A stamped or stained concrete entryway offers a custom, high-end look without the high-end cost. Think warm earth tones, natural stone patterns, or a sleek modern finish—designed to match the aesthetics of your brand and building.
Bonus: Decorative finishes are also slip-resistant when properly sealed, which helps keep safety in check while still looking great.
2. Create Inviting Employee Break Areas
Need an outdoor patio or seating space for your staff? Decorative concrete makes it easy to build attractive, low-maintenance spaces where employees can step outside, grab lunch, or take a breather.
You can even incorporate elements like:
- Textured borders
- Custom inlays (like your company logo)
- Contrasting finishes to define zones or seating areas
- These little touches make a big impact—and they don’t go unnoticed by team members or visitors.
3. Boost Your Brand with Customized Design
The great thing about decorative concrete? It’s customizable. Whether you’re looking for modern minimalism or something that mirrors natural stone or tile, the design options are wide open.
Meyer Construction can help integrate your business’s colors or patterns into the pavement, align it with your architectural style, or even embed custom graphics. It’s branding that’s literally built into your foundation.
4. Lower Long-Term Maintenance Costs
Compared to pavers, wood decking, or natural stone, decorative concrete is a smart long-term investment. It’s tough against the elements, easy to clean, and requires minimal upkeep. With the right sealant, it can last for decades while still looking sharp.
And since we know commercial spaces deal with high traffic, we make sure our concrete finishes are designed to withstand the wear and tear of everyday use.
5. Maximize Your Curb Appeal—and Property Value
A well-designed outdoor space doesn’t just make your building look better—it increases its value. Whether you plan to sell, lease, or just want to increase the prestige of your space, investing in decorative concrete pays off.
It's not just a cosmetic upgrade; it’s a functional and financial one.
