Side by Side in this backyard..

In Seabright..

Won’t you finish cleaning me..

Boom!!

After all these years, I have to give a shout out to all the Santa Cruz County residents/clients that decided it was time to clean up and fully utilize their Concrete Side Yards. What is a Concrete Side Yard? It is either one side, or both sides of your house(usually just one) that houses(pun) your three trash cans, BBQ’s, gardening junk, rusty ten speeds, opened up potting soil, surf and boogie boards, and a ton of other crap. The concrete is usually pretty dank because it gets limited sun, and is disgusting because it never gets any love. I have more to say about Concrete Side Yards, but I’ll save it for a rainy day…..

I was going for a bench before and after even though the after isn’t really a true after because the stain is still wet there. Plus the pictures are at different zoom levels. I wasn’t going to post such amateur art.

I couldn’t put my finger on why these pictures appeared so different until I realized it was the cleaned concrete aggregate that made picture two seem so different than its counterpart.

With the magical appearance of the BBQ, I had myself a legitimate before and after.

Mothers Day Special 2008, Aptos, California. BBQ season is open!! Clean Concrete IS GOOD.

If you’re a homeowner looking at these two pictures and wondering if Under Pressure could make this big a difference on your exposed aggregate sidewalk or patio…the answer is YES!!
