The success of any decorative concrete project hinges on one crucial element: the skill of the contractor installing it. Whether you’re a landscape architect, general contractor, or real estate developer, partnering with a trusted expert ensures you achieve the precision, durability, and craftsmanship your project demands. That’s exactly what a Bomanite Licensee brings to the table.

Unlike a general contractor offering decorative concrete services, Bomanite Licensees have access to exclusive systems, training, and expertise that elevate construction outcomes and create one-of-a-kind architectural designs. Here’s why choosing a Bomanite Licensee, like Colorado Hardscapes, gives you unmatched value.


Who is Bomanite?

Bomanite is a pioneer in the decorative concrete industry. For over 50 years, Bomanite has been synonymous with innovation and craftsmanship, developing techniques and products that have set the standard for architectural concrete.

Founded on the principles of creativity and technical expertise, Bomanite has redefined the possibilities of concrete design. From the original stamped concrete to exposed aggregates and polished overlays, their products and systems have transformed how architects and contractors approach decorative concrete.
