Cleveland Concrete Coatings installs Rubber Stone walkways for homeowners throughout Cleveland, Mentor, and the Northeast Ohio communities we serve, including Westlake, Solon, Richmond Heights, and Willoughby. Rubber Stone flooring is a resin-bound surface built from recycled rubber granules and UV-stable polyurethane resin, hand-troweled into a seamless finish that gives a tired or damaged walkway a softer, safer surface to walk on. It’s one of our residential concrete coating services.
What Is a Rubber Stone Walkway?
Rubber Stone flooring is made from recycled rubber granules and UV-stable polyurethane resin, hand-troweled into a seamless finish over your walkway. The surface has a slight give underfoot, and it is:
- Soft and cushioned underfoot
- Slip-resistant
- Permeable, allowing water to pass through the surface
- Weather-resistant
Those qualities make it a comfortable, practical choice for exterior foot-traffic areas such as backyard paths, garden walkways, and other walking surfaces around your home.
Can Rubber Stone Cover Your Existing Walkway?
Rubber Stone can cover your existing walkway in most cases. It bonds directly over existing concrete, provided the slab is structurally sound and properly prepared. We evaluate your walkway during your free quote to identify exactly what preparation is needed, so your scope reflects the actual condition of your concrete.
Because Rubber Stone is permeable, water drains through the surface, which helps reduce puddling and ice buildup on an exterior walkway that has to hold up to Cleveland weather throughout the year.
Rubber Stone vs. Vuba Stone: Which Fits Your Walkway?
If you’re deciding between Rubber Stone and Vuba Stone, the right choice depends on what matters most to you underfoot. Rubber Stone uses recycled rubber granules for a soft, cushioned surface with a slight give. Vuba Stone uses natural stone aggregate for a more traditional stone appearance.
| Feature | Rubber Stone | Vuba Stone |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Recycled rubber granules | Natural stone aggregate |
| Underfoot feel | Soft and cushioned | Traditional stone texture |
| Best for | Cushioned comfort and impact absorption | A classic natural-stone look |
Investment and Upkeep
Rubber Stone is a premium surface, and preparation of your existing concrete may be needed before installation, both of which can affect the final scope of your project. Financing is available on qualifying projects, so you have options for fitting a new walkway into your budget. If you’re also considering an update to an adjoining patio, Rubber Stone and Vuba Stone are both available there as well, and resin-bound stone flooring for pool decks and patios holds up well to Northeast Ohio weather.
Rubber Stone resists weeds and algae and can be rinsed for routine cleaning, keeping upkeep simple once your new walkway is installed.
