What is grouting?

All concrete naturally has holes that can also be heightened in the grinding process. Not all floors require grouting. It is the client’s decision as to which “look” they desire and if a smoother look is required, grouting takes place to even up the floor.

What type of things can we throw on the top of our slab to make it more interesting?

Coloured pebbles, different sizes and types of aggregate, glass beads, steel, brass again this is largely limited by your imagination.
