Zion Outdoors wins national ASCC award for Grace Overlook resurfacing project

Zion Outdoors earned national recognition from the American Society of Concrete Contractors for its Grace Overlook Gem-Scape concrete resurfacing project in Austin, Texas. The award spotlights the company’s proprietary overlay system, certified installer training and a project that covered more than 5,000 square feet.

Why it matters: - The ASCC award gives Zion Outdoors a national validation point for its concrete resurfacing work. - The recognition may help homeowners compare resurfacing options on more than appearance, including material strength, design flexibility and installation quality. - The company positions Gem-Scape as an alternative to concrete demolition and replacement for outdoor surfaces.

What happened: - Zion Outdoors announced that its Grace Overlook project received national recognition from the American Society of Concrete Contractors. - The project used more than 5,000 square feet of Gem-Scape, Zion Outdoors’ proprietary decorative concrete overlay. - Zion Outdoors serves homeowners in Texas and Oklahoma, including Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and Oklahoma City.

The details: - Gem-Scape applies a new finish over suitable existing concrete. - The system can be customized with colors and hand-cut patterns that mimic natural stone, tile or brick. - Zion Outdoors uses the resurfacing system on pool decks, patios, driveways and walkways. - The company’s reported laboratory testing found Gem-Scape measured about 17% stronger than the nearest competing resurfacing product tested under comparable conditions. - Zion Outdoors says the product combines strength, design flexibility and application over suitable existing concrete. - The company also relies on a certified installer training program. - Zion Outdoors says the finished result depends on both the material and the people applying it.

Between the lines: - The award and the test result serve different purposes: one signals craftsmanship, while the other aims to support product performance claims. - Large resurfacing jobs place more weight on coordination and consistency across the surface. - Zion Outdoors is using both product development and installer training to differentiate itself in a crowded decorative concrete market.
