Outdoor concrete surfaces take a beating from weather, moisture, and daily use. When the owners of Trinity River Farm & Equestrian Center noticed their picnic area had severe cracks and surface deterioration, they knew they needed a long-lasting solution. Instead of replacing the entire slab, they turned to Custom Epoxy Surfacing to restore the space with a UV stable epoxy coating designed to withstand Texas weather.
Assessing the Damage and Finding the Right Solution
During our inspection, we found extensive cracks, uneven surfaces, and signs of water damage caused by surrounding trees and drainage issues. A full slab replacement would have been costly and ineffective since the same conditions could lead to future cracking.
Instead, we recommended a flexible epoxy coating system that included:
✔ Deep crack repairs using industrial-grade fillers
✔ Surface preparation with a diamond grind for better adhesion
✔ Polyaspartic UV stable sealer for weather protection
✔ Custom polymer flake design for aesthetics and texture
By using this approach, we preserved the existing concrete, strengthened its structure, and provided a durable surface that would hold up against temperature changes, moisture, and heavy foot traffic.
Precision Preparation for a Durable Finish
Every successful epoxy floor installation starts with proper preparation. For this project, we:
✔ Used a low dust diamond grind to remove damaged layers of concrete
✔ Applied flexible cosmetic fillers to seal cracks and prevent future spreading
✔ Created a smooth and even surface for optimal epoxy adhesion
Once the surface was prepped, we applied a custom polymer flake system to enhance the design while adding durability.
A UV Stable Coating Built for Outdoor Conditions
Outdoor surfaces are exposed to intense UV rays, rain, and extreme temperatures, which can cause many coatings to fade, peel, or degrade over time. To prevent this, we applied a polyaspartic UV stable sealer that:
✔ Resists fading and yellowing from sun exposure
✔ Repels moisture and stains for easy maintenance
✔ Adds a protective layer to prevent future wear and tear
This weather-resistant epoxy coating ensured that the picnic area would maintain its color and strength for years to come.
