During an intense 8 week span throughout the summer months the project was completed. The project features two of the highest profile decorative concrete finishes ever installed by Trademark. Alternating between white sand, white cement, seeded white aggregate honed paving & white sand, white cement sand finish paving no expense was spared with this installation

Bio
The concrete work at the 101 pool and spa renovation spared no expense and a big reason why it remains a large focal point to anyone who's seen this incredible project. Trademark Concrete Systems & the design team (HA+MA & fpld) joined forces early on during preconstruction developing two extremely high end concrete finishes. Both "bright white" - inclusive of both white sand and white cement. To execute this installation white sand was transported by Super10 from the Bay area down to CalPortland's Santa Monica plant and hand loaded on site. The two paving types on the project alternate between a white sand finish & honed finish. The honed finished paving was creating by hand seeding white granite along the top of the paving and later exposing the aggregate with a hand planetary grinder. The sand finish texture was created using a surface retarder. These two striking paving types really come to life in the evening as the property is illuminated with various landscape/hardscape lighting
