What this project shows

This project uses concrete resurfacing to create the visual direction of wood planks while keeping the surface as decorative concrete. The wider photograph shows how the finish reads in an outdoor-living setting, while the closer view shows the plank character and variation.

Design takeaway

Wood-look concrete works best when plank scale, color variation and the surrounding architecture are considered together. The goal is not to pretend the material is lumber; it is to use concrete to create a wood-inspired surface that fits the space.
