Facility owners, developers, and homeowners select exterior concrete flatwork for its strength, beauty, durability, versatility, and low life-cycle costs. You should, too.
The versatility, durability, and attractiveness of exterior concrete flatwork offer unlimited possibilities for facility owners and managers, developers, and homeowners. When designed and installed correctly, concrete pavements hold up beautifully in any weather and under any load.
Traditional Concrete Flatwork
Traditional concrete marries outstanding performance and low life-cycle costs. Durable, elegant, and easy to maintain, the bright, clean look of traditional concrete adds to the look of any facility, accentuating and complementing the architectural details of on-site structures and elegantly contrasting lawns, planting areas, and other landscape features.
Traditional concrete pavements:
•Use established and universally accepted design criteria to meet

anticipated loads
•Spread traffic loads over large areas, keeping pressure on the
subgrade low
•Provide a highly light-reflective surface for effective night-lighting
and safety
•Supply high skid-resistance, resulting in less liability exposure
•Are durable and easy to maintain
•Grow stronger with age
•Offer low life-cycle costs for the service life of the pavement.
Decorative Concrete Flatwork
Decorative concrete flatwork incorporates methods of applying texture, color, stamping, and other techniques to enhance horizontal concrete applications. Decorative concrete combines outstanding performance and low life-cycle costs with visual and tactile flair, defining and adding distinction and excitement to indoor and outdoor settings. Colored and/or textured concrete can be used to tie outdoor spaces with the surrounding built and natural environment, complementing boulders, vegetation, natural mulches, retaining structures, and exterior facades. As landscape design endeavors to support corporate and organizational identity and the backyard becomes “lifestyle” for more and more homeowners, decorate concrete is helping to blur the line between a structure’s interior and exterior. Decorative concrete adds prestige and pizzazz to any entryway and transforms backyards into rooms without walls, where nature can be actively engaged, not passively observed. Decorative concrete is just as beautiful indoors and provides outstanding thermal mass for passive solar applications. Variations in the patterns, colors, and textures of horizontal concrete surfaces are limited only by the imagination of project owners and their designers and the skill of the concrete craftsmen and craftswomen working on the project.
More and more businesses, organizations, and homeowners are beautifying public areas, indoors and out, with decorative concrete. Perhaps you should, too.
Key to Success With Exterior Concrete Flatwork
Your selection of concrete contractor is key to the success of your concrete project. Before hiring a contractor for concrete flatwork (traditional or
decorative), make sure the contractor:
•Has a successful work history
•Shows genuine enthusiasm for your project
Decorative concrete creates beautiful, inviting entries for your customers and guests.
•Demonstrates the technical know-how to do the job
•Has practical experience on similar concrete projects
•Possess the proper equipment and skilled people to complete
the project
•Has the proper insurances and the financial strength to see the
project through
•Works in partnership with a quality ready-mixed concrete producer
•Understands and provides customer service.
Most often in life, you get what you pay for. A concrete contractor’s experience, and adherence to quality standards by both the contractor and ready-mixed concrete producer, are well-worth any extra project expense. Concrete flatwork designed and installed correctly has no equal in terms of quality, value, dependability, good looks, and long service life. We would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss your next concrete flatwork project.
I worked on three concrete projects and two fence project with Munson and I am an extremely satisfied customer.
Munson is a great company! I worked on three concrete projects and two fence project with Munson and I am an extremely satisfied customer. The first project was removing and replacing our narrow sidewalks with wider sidewalks. The second project was replacing a section of our concrete floor that had sunk and the third was sinking our pallet wrapper into the ground and building a concrete frame to support it. The fencing projects one was exterior and one interior for a tool crib. I would highly recommend Munson for large and small projects.
People are so happy to have a decent, safe space for parking.
Munson, Inc. paved a very bad church parking lot here at St. Francis Church in Milwaukee. And the product is wonderful. People are so happy to have a decent, safe space for parking. And the slope of the lot made for an excellent handicap-accessible entrance into the church. Even neighbors were high in their praise for the betterment in appearance for the area neighborhood!

The concrete and asphalt teams were hardworking and did a great job. I definitely recommend Munson!
Just had my asphalt driveway and concrete walkway completely taken out and replaced by Munson. Very happy! Eric responded to my MANY emails and was very personable. The concrete and asphalt teams were hardworking and did a great job. I definitely recommend Munson!

Munson has come up with creative and cost effective solutions that met our needs.
To whom it may concern:
I am pleased to offer a letter of recommendation for Munson's concrete crew. They have completed many projects at our Milwaukee facilities over the past four years. Safety and security at our facility is of the utmost importance considering the business that we are in. Regardless of the size of the project, their commitment to a safe and successful project has been quite evident through their excellent communication bot with the customer, the City of Milwaukee, and the other contractors involved in the projects.
The projects that Munson has completed for Hydrite have varied from as simple as striping our parking lots to as large and complex as a security fencing upgrade. The security upgrade included doubling the size of our main approach from the street so two semi trucks could access our drive at the same time along with the installation of three access controlled gates with exit sensors. All of this work was accomplished with no interruption to our normal operations.
In addition to the more standard projects, as listed above, I have even had projects that were not sure how to accomplish what was desired and Munson has come up with creative and cost effective solutions that met our needs.

We will certainly contact Munson when we have future asphalt work.
Brian:
You guys did a great job. Both the owner of the property and our leasing agents have commented on how nice the lot and building look since you seal-coated and striped the lot. We will certainly contact Munson when we have future asphalt work. Please extend our thanks to the crew for their hard work.

I found Munson to be extremely responsive and cooperative in working with our busy production schedules
To whom it may concern:
I am pleased to offer a letter of recommendation for Rob Fetherston of Munson Inc. for the concrete, asphalt, and security fence work that they have completed for over 30 years for RockTenn at 1900 West Cornell St, Milwaukee, WI.
In the past three years while I was Plant Manager, I found Munson to be extremely responsive and cooperative in working with our busy production schedules to complete the job with the least amount of disruption to our operations.
Projects ranged in size from very small, such as adding a new gate to our parking lot, to very large, such as leveling and resurfacing our employee parking lot. Jobs were performed efficiently, on schedule, and safely.
