Why homeowners choose Gator Grip

  • No tear-out

    Poured straight over your existing concrete, so there's no demolition and no disposal bill.

  • Non-slip when wet

    The rubber granule surface grips underfoot around pools, on steps and on wet walkways.

  • Walk on it in 24 hours

    Most surfaces are usable the day after we finish, weather permitting.

  • 30 colours

    Solid tones and multi-granule blends. We bring physical samples to your quote.

Real projects

Same concrete. Drag to see the difference.

These are our own installs — not stock photography. Drag the handle, or use the arrow keys.

  • Pool deck before resurfacing: mismatched tan concrete, a black asphalt patch and brown staining ringing the pool
    The same pool deck after Gator Grip: one continuous pearl-white rubber surface with no seams

    Pool deck. Three mismatched materials — stamped concrete, an asphalt patch and staining — replaced with one continuous surface. No tear-out.

  • Front porch before resurfacing: spalled, patched and discoloured concrete between white columns
    The same front porch after Gator Grip: an even beige rubber surface across the porch and steps

    Front porch and steps. Spalling and patch repairs covered in a day. The steps get the same non-slip surface as the landing.

  • Large pool deck before resurfacing: faded, weathered tan concrete around a stone house
    The same pool deck after Gator Grip: a pearl-white non-slip rubber surface with a charcoal border

    Estate pool deck. Poured straight over the existing slab — the pool never came out of service.

What we surface

If it's concrete, we can cover it

Residential work across the four surfaces we're asked for most.

  • A pearl-white Gator Grip pool deck with a charcoal border around an in-ground pool

    Pool decks & patios

    Cool underfoot and grippy when wet — the two things a pool surround actually has to get right.

  • A curved honey-gold Gator Grip front patio and steps beside a stone-clad house

    Porches, steps & entries

    Covers spalling and patch repairs, and gives treads the same non-slip surface as the landing.

  • A garage floor finished in solid black Gator Grip rubber surfacing

    Garage floors

    Hides cracks and oil staining, and resists the fluids a concrete floor normally soaks up.

  • A raised deck landing and stair treads finished in honey-gold Gator Grip with a brown border

    Decks, landings & walkways

    Raised landings, bull-nosed edges and stair treads — not just flat slabs.

Why resurface

Cheaper than replacing. Better than living with it.

Replacing a slab means demolition, disposal, new concrete and a week of your yard being a worksite — and the new slab will eventually crack too. We bond a rubber-granule surface to the concrete you already have, in a colour you pick.

  • Grips when it's wet — around pools, on steps, on slopes
  • Softer to land on than bare concrete
  • Flexes with the slab instead of cracking along with it
  • Doesn't hold puddles
  • Sweeps and hoses clean
  • Covers existing cracks, patches and staining

How it works

Three steps, and it's done

  1. Free on-site quote

    We measure the area, look at the condition of the slab, bring colour samples, and give you a fixed price. No charge, no obligation.

  2. We prep and pour

    We clean and prime the concrete, repair what needs repairing, then trowel the rubber surface on by hand. Most residential jobs are one to two days.

  3. Walk on it the next day

    It cures overnight. Most surfaces are ready to use the following day, weather permitting — and we take the mess with us.

Colour options

Questions

The things people ask before booking

  • Can you install over my existing concrete?

    Usually, yes — that's the point of it. It bonds to most sound solid surfaces, including concrete, asphalt and wood. If a slab is badly broken up or moving, we'll tell you at the quote rather than surface over a problem.

  • Is it slippery when it's wet?

    No. The surface is made of rubber granules, so it stays grippy wet — the same reason a rubber bath mat works. That's why it gets used around pools and on steps.

  • My concrete is already cracked. Will it just crack again?

    The surface is flexible and bonded to the slab, so it moves with it instead of fracturing the way a rigid topping would. Existing cracks get covered. We can't stop a slab that is actively shifting, and we'll say so if that's what we find.

  • How long until we can use it?

    Most residential jobs take one to two days on site, and the surface is normally ready to walk on the day after we finish. Cold or wet weather extends that.

  • How does it handle winter and road salt?

    It's designed for freeze-thaw and is unaffected by de-icing salt. Water drains through rather than sitting on top and freezing in place, which is what does the damage to concrete.

  • Will the colour fade?

    The colour is in the rubber granule itself rather than a coating on top, so it doesn't wear off. Like anything outdoors in full sun, expect some gradual softening of tone over the years.

  • How do I clean it?

    Sweep it, or hose it down. For anything greasier, warm water and a stiff brush. No sealing or annual re-coating.

  • What if it gets damaged?

    It's repairable in place — a damaged patch can be cut out and re-poured, and because the colour runs through the material the repair blends rather than sitting on top as a visible square.

  • What does it cost?

    It depends on the area, the condition of the existing slab and the colour, so we price it on site. The quote is free, fixed and in writing before any work starts — and it's almost always less than tearing out and repouring.
