										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Outdoor living is both trendy and practical right now. Being able to utilize the outdoors most of the year adds to our quality of life. Design trends are finally catching up with demand, giving us a multitude of choices for outdoor living.</p>
<h2><a href="http://s424420337.onlinehome.us/clients/eandjconcrete/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/image322.jpeg"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3722" style="margin: 5px 10px;" alt="image32" src="http://s424420337.onlinehome.us/clients/eandjconcrete/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/image322-150x150.jpeg" width="150" height="150" /></a>Firepits</h2>
<p><strong>There is nothing more enjoyable than spending an evening outdoors by the fireplace.</strong><br />
For years, the fireplace has been the heart of the home. Taking this concept outside, you will be hard pressed to match the enjoyment of an outdoor fireplace with a glass of wine or toasty S&#8217;mores. Outdoor fireplaces make it possible for your family to spend evenings taking in the desert climate all year long. Let the dancing flames of the fire add serenity to your evening.</p>
<h2><a href="http://s424420337.onlinehome.us/clients/eandjconcrete/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/eandj3.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3533" style="margin: 5px 10px;" alt="eandj3" src="http://s424420337.onlinehome.us/clients/eandjconcrete/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/eandj3-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://eandjconcrete.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/eandj3-150x150.jpg 150w, https://eandjconcrete.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/eandj3-380x380.jpg 380w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Outdoor Kitchens</h2>
<p>An outdoor kitchen can help you slow down and spend more time with family and friends by putting all the ingredients for outdoor dining close at hand. It can be as simple as a BBQ and a storage cabinet or as ambitious as a full kitchen with grill, refrigerator, sink and eating area.</p>
<h2><a href="http://s424420337.onlinehome.us/clients/eandjconcrete/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/eandj2.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3532" style="margin: 5px 10px;" alt="eandj2" src="http://s424420337.onlinehome.us/clients/eandjconcrete/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/eandj2-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a>Retaining Walls</h2>
<p>A retaining wall is built for structure. Its primary function is to support soil behind it or any loads or weight from above. We can install retaining walls out of concrete block or dry stacked block. Retaining walls are a great addition to backyards. They make great places to sit, and wonderful planters. Once the function of the wall is defined we can turn our attention to the aesthetics. Whether it is stucco to match your home, faux stone, flagstone caps, tile or natural rock veneers we can deliver on it all.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The value of color and decorated concrete presents itself over and over again in all types of projects. From driveways, and patios to theme parks and malls, stamped concrete is chosen for its value improvements including reduced costs, an appealing final products, and easy maintenance. Along with the known durability and long-lasting feature of regular concrete, stamping adds a decorative touch making it a desirable and economical product for all.</p>
<p>Concrete is also cost-effective over alternative materials such as pavers, or natural stone. Installation is quicker and the final product is long- lasting, can mimic natural materials in color and design, and is therefore, more economical.</p>
<p><a href="http://s424420337.onlinehome.us/clients/eandjconcrete/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/12photo.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3745" style="margin: 5px 10px;" alt="12photo" src="http://s424420337.onlinehome.us/clients/eandjconcrete/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/12photo-225x300.jpg" width="225" height="300" srcset="https://eandjconcrete.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/12photo-225x300.jpg 225w, https://eandjconcrete.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/12photo.jpg 720w" sizes="(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /></a>Here are the main ways stamped concrete offers real benefits in terms of performance, cost savings, and aesthetics.</p>
<p><strong>Reduced long-term maintenance and care.</strong><br />
Over time, other surface materials such as pavers can become loose or settle, resulting in tripping hazards. Stamped concrete&#8217;s advantage is that it never needs resetting or replacing. It eliminates tripping hazards for parks, resorts, etc.</p>
<p><strong>Less labor intensive than other surface materials.</strong><br />
Some installers find it more economical to pour concrete and apply a pattern than to haul and place individual paving stones by hand.</p>
<p><strong>Increased longevity.</strong><br />
Your initial investment in stamped concrete is only part of the total equation. Concrete lasts longer than other materials, is durable in nearly every type of environment, and holds up better to traffic and wear.</p>
<p><strong>Requires less maintenance.</strong><br />
Stamped concrete requires minimal maintenance than most other paving materials which can add up to big savings over the surface&#8217;s lifetime.</p>
<p><strong>Increases resale value of property.</strong><br />
Stamped concrete adds instant curb appeal and aesthetic value to a property. You can maximize the return on your investment by choosing stamped concrete.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Color and decorated concrete can make a dramatic impression, and there are many reasons why homeowners, businesses, and municipalities are choosing stamped concrete to enhance their landscapes and buildings.</p>
<p>From a cobblestone driveway to a stone patio, the look of patterned concrete is not only realistic but also bears the permanent durability of concrete. Concrete is also cost-effective over alternative materials such as pavers, or natural stone. Installation is quicker and the final product is long- lasting, can mimic natural materials in color and design, and is therefore, more economical.</p>
<p><strong>Design flexibility if one of the biggest reasons for stamped concrete&#8217;s popularity.</strong> It can be shaped, textured, and colored to achieve almost any look imaginable. It can complement various architectures, can provide traction on public walkways, and can blend with nature in all types of landscapes.</p>
