Scale and finish. Geist drives run long — three-car aprons, guest parking, turnarounds — so the difference between an $8 and an $11 square foot shows up as thousands, and so does the difference between a plain slab and one with a stamped border that suits the house. Pool decks add their own spec: traction additives in the sealer, expansion isolation around the shell, and drainage that keeps splash-out moving away from both pool and foundation. And on sloped waterside lots, grade work and drainage planning stop being line items and start being the job.
Exposed aggregate around pools: grip, texture, and it hides sunscreen and wear better than any smooth finish.
Popular Geist projects
Driveway replacement with decorative borders — broom field, stamped and colored border, reads custom without full-stamp cost.
Pool deck expansion and resurface decisions — honest triage on whether the existing deck takes an overlay or wants replacement.
Patio and outdoor-kitchen slabs — reinforced and thickened where the built-ins land, planned around the drainage the lot actually has.
Walkways and shoreline steps — grade-hugging pours with real footing where slope demands it.
Yes — Fishers side and the Fortville/McCordsville side, plus the Fall Creek corridor between them.
Can you match high-end landscaping plans?
We pour to landscape architects' drawings regularly — curves, multiple elevations, integrated steps and borders. Bring the plan to the quote and we price it as drawn.
What about driveway aprons and the county right-of-way?
Approach work can involve permitting depending on which side of the line your project sits. We flag and handle it when it applies — it is not the homeowner's paperwork to chase.
Is stamped concrete okay next to water?
Yes, with a traction additive in the sealer and joint planning around the pool's expansion isolation. Sealed-smooth stamped work with no additive is the slip hazard, not stamped concrete itself.
