You could make a skate park in your own backyard depending on how big it is.  And if not in your backyard then consider getting the neighborhood together so you can decide where to build one.  Many YMCAs or Boys & Girls Clubs have them present for teenagers to use.  It keeps them out of trouble and active outside.

2. Indoor flooring

Concrete can easily be dyed and changed over alternative flooring.  Instead of hardwood floors this always needs less maintenance.  Consider using it in your kitchen since it will be easy to wash and to sweep.  You can die it an earthy tone as well to go with the homey colors that already exist in your kitchen.  And think about how much cheaper it will be than installing real hardwood flooring.

3. Spruce Up the Garden

The right garden ornaments will add a little bit of funk to the outdoors.  Numerous sculptures are made out of concrete because they hold up so well to harsh weather conditions.  You can try to make molds yourself or simply check out the fun, family-owned establishment down the street you have always been meaning to go to.

 

Do not let concrete fool you.  It is not just the grey, morose material that is used for the sidewalk or street.  There are innovative ways to use it inside and outside of you home that you may have never thought of.  A concrete company can steer you in the right direction when it comes to obtaining the right material for the project you wish to complete.
