Unlike many materials that lose their aesthetic appeal over time, Unilock concrete slabs are crafted with quality and durability in mind, making them a reliable choice for any outdoor project.
Exceptional Durability
Our concrete slabs are designed to do more than meet industry standards – we exceed them! Unilock concrete slabs are put through a rigorous manufacturing process that ensures they will retain their strength and aesthetic beauty year-round, ensuring your outdoor spaces remain as stunning as the day they were installed.
Remarkable Design Versatility
Our concrete slabs come in a variety of styles, colors, textures, and sizes, allowing you to create a custom look that perfectly complements your home’s aesthetic.
Minimal Maintenance
Spills, stains, and debris are inevitable! Unilock offers an effective solution to make your maintenance upkeep easier than ever. Concrete slabs manufactured with EasyClean™ technology offer integral stain resistance, ensuring faster cleanup of spills before a stain develops. All you need is a combination of soap, water, and a stiff bristle broom or gentle pressure wash to clean spills or tough stains on your slab surface.
Distinct Surfaces
Safety must be a priority when designing a pool deck or patio, especially with kids or the elderly walking on the surface. Fortunately, Unilock offers several concrete slabs with distinct, slip-resistant surface textures that help prevent slips and falls, even when wet. This makes them an ideal choice for pool decks, walkways, and any area where safety is a concern. Request a Design Catalog
What Applications Are Concrete Slabs Most Suitable For?
Pool Decks
Pool decks are a fantastic way to showcase the expansiveness of your backyard space, and large concrete slabs can make a big impact in your overall design. Products such as Arcana™ and Beacon Hill™ offer distinct surface textures that make it safe to navigate the pool deck without worrying about slipping or falling, and with a wide range of colors that resist the heat island effect normally brought on in urban environments. Moreover, concrete slabs are manufactured to resist cracking or fading from the effects of chlorine, so you can enjoy your pool deck even longer.
Walkways and Pathways
Make a grand entrance at the front of your home by incorporating concrete slabs toward the front door. Large concrete slabs can be laid at an angle, or in a straight line in a running bond pattern, providing a visual aid when navigating your paver walkway. Spruce up your surroundings by incorporating shrub bushes or garden walls to add splashes of color and nature to your design.
Patios
Transform your backyard patio space by choosing Unilock concrete slabs for your surface. Whether you’re designing a modern, rustic, or traditional-looking patio, concrete slab products like Umbriano® and Richcliff® offer beautiful surface textures, vibrant colors, and a range of remarkable benefits that will complement your home’s style and enhance its curb appeal.

How To Spruce Up Your Concrete Slab Design
Your concrete slab patio, walkway, or pool deck has the potential to be more than just a functional surface—it can be a stunning design feature that enhances your outdoor space. Here are some ideas to help you spruce up your concrete slab design:
Laying Patterns
The way you lay your concrete slabs can dramatically influence the look and feel of your outdoor space. Consider patterns like stack bond, running bond, or grid layouts to add visual interest and structure. Rotating slabs at angles not only creates a dynamic, custom appearance but also helps draw the viewer's eye to different features in your outdoor space, such as a fire pit, seating area, or garden bed.
Borders and Accents
Adding borders and accents is an easy way to frame your concrete slab area and give it a polished finish. Use contrasting colors or textures to create a distinct border that outlines your patio or walkway.
Vertical Features
Don’t forget about the vertical elements in your outdoor space. Incorporate features like garden walls, pillars, or seating walls by choosing wall blocks, colors, and textures that will complement your concrete slab surface. Vertical elements can add a new level of dimension to your landscape that makes your outdoor area feel more complete and inviting to family and guests. Learn More

Concrete Slabs FAQs
Can I use Unilock slabs for my driveway?
Unilock slabs are ideal for patios and walkways, but we don’t recommend them for driveways. While they are larger in size, they are thinner than traditional pavers and may crack under the weight of vehicles. For driveways, it’s better to choose pavers designed to withstand heavy loads.
What makes Unilock slabs different from regular concrete?
Unilock slabs are crafted using advanced manufacturing techniques that distinguish them from regular concrete. Our EnduraColor™ slabs, like Umbriano® and Beacon Hill™, undergo a two-step process to ensure long-lasting color and exceptional strength. Additionally, our Elegance™ family of products, such as the Richcliff slab, is made with Ultima™ Concrete Technology, making it four times stronger than traditional poured concrete. Designed with Reala™ technology, it also mimics the look of natural stone surfaces. These features make Unilock slabs some of the best paving products on the market.
Can I install Unilock slabs on my own?
Yes, you can install Unilock slabs yourself if you feel confident in tackling a project of this size. However, for a professional finish and long-lasting results, we recommend hiring a Unilock Authorized Contractor. Our UACs have the expertise to install Unilock products to the highest standards, and we stand behind their work with a two-year Workmanship Guarantee, ensuring your investment is well-protected.
