Van MIDDE & Son Concrete

The Van Midde family has been involved in the concrete industry in Marin County for over 50 years. Ted Van Midde established Van Midde & Son concrete in San Rafael in 1991. He learned the basics of mixing, transporting and installing concrete from his father who worked in the industry for 35 years. The Van Midde & Son crew are skilled in the most up-to-date techniques for concrete installation and can help with the design process as well. They work with home owners and contractors to build concrete walkways, patios and driveways that meet the highest industry standards.

Interlocking pavers create style, color and eye-catching patters while providing a durable and long lasting surface. Interlocking pavers form a patterned surface which can be put into service immediately so you won't have to wait before you can drive or walk on your new home improvement. Interlocking pavers provide a beautiful backdrop for your home improvement projects that are not only visually appealing but functional as well. Stamped concrete is the process of adding colors, patterns and textures to regular concrete at the time of pouring.

Concrete can have a variety of finishes, from steel trowel to stamped textured. Van Midde and Concrete are experts in finishes of concrete and can take a client's dreams and make them a reality. Concrete can be exposed to allow for the sand or gravel in the concrete to show, also called antiquing the surface to make it look like something mother nature has done to an older slab. Years of winters will expose the surface slightly each year and more and more of the cream is removed to expose the aggregate.
