Winner: Decorative Residential

Charming Lake House

This lighthouse-themed property in Minocqua needed a driveway makeover to enhance the home's curb appeal. The homeowners chose ready-mix concrete to create a unique design using textured and colored concrete and stamping tools.

Textured ready-mix concrete was used for the walkways, curbs, and driveway edging to contrast the smooth driveway while adding rustic charm.

Colored concrete and stamping tools were used to craft custom designs, including "2024," "EST 1988," and "Soapland." These personalized designs enhance the home's unique character and provide a distinctive touch.

The driveway was restored using ready-mix concrete to complement the home's pillars, doors, windows, and lighthouse. The homeowners chose cedar-colored pigments for the walkways, accented with a dark gray, to complement the home's color.

This combination of contrasting colors and textures creates a harmonious blend that enhances the home's natural surroundings and accentuates its nautical aesthetic.  The concrete project consisting of 274 cubic yards was completed in June 2024.
