Project Ideas
Business
On-Call Early-Entry Joint Cutting
Offer a same-day/after-hours control-joint cutting service for small GCs and flatwork crews. Price by linear foot with minimums, and guarantee clean, anti-spall joints that reduce random cracking and callbacks. Market to driveway, sidewalk, and small slab contractors who lack early-entry gear.
Decorative Sawcut Upsell Package
Bundle pattern layouts (borders, tiles, herringbone, compass roses) as add-ons to standard pours. Cut within the green window for crisp edges, then return to stain or inlay. Sell tiered packages (Basic joints, Premium patterns, Inlay/Color) to increase average ticket value.
Branded Entrances & Retail Rollouts
Partner with franchises and property managers to deliver consistent logo and wayfinding cuts on new store buildouts. Provide fast mobilization to hit tight opening timelines, and offer national-standard templates to keep branding uniform across locations.
GC/Builder Subscription Service
Create a monthly subscription for residential builders covering a set linear footage of early-entry joints per lot. Include priority scheduling, night pours, and consumables. Builders lock in predictable costs while you maximize route efficiency and utilization.
Train-and-Rent + Consumables
Host half-day trainings for small concrete crews on timing and technique for green cutting. Rent the attachment with spare replacement kits, charging day rates plus blade wear. Upsell a consumables package (blades, skid plates) with scheduled deliveries to keep crews stocked.

Modern Geometric Patio Quilt
Score a fresh patio or terrace within hours of the pour to create a quilt of squares, diamonds, or chevrons. Use the anti-spalling skid plate to keep edges crisp and cut up to 1-1/2 in. deep for bold shadow lines. After cure, accent select grooves with stain or colored epoxy for a high-contrast, modern look.
Faux-Flagstone Driveway
Lay out irregular polygon lines and sawcut them early to mimic hand-set flagstone. The green-cut blade and skid plate minimize raveling, producing tight, natural-looking joints. After curing, apply multiple concrete stains to each ‘stone’ and seal the surface for a premium, custom finish.
Logo and Wayfinding Inlays
Score company logos, arrows, and text into new entry slabs the same day they’re poured. The clean, anti-spall cuts serve as channels for metallic epoxy, colored grout, or thin metal strip inlays. Ideal for storefronts, campuses, and lobbies where branded hardscape stands out.
Giant Game Board Patio
Create a life-size chess/checkers or four-square court by early-entry cutting a grid with perfect, chip-free lines. Fill selected squares with tinted sealers or epoxy for play zones. Great for schools, parks, or family backyards seeking functional art.
Glow-Line Garden Paths
Cut linear and curved guides into fresh garden paths, then later fill the kerfs with phosphorescent or reflective epoxy for subtle nighttime wayfinding. The smooth early-entry cuts improve adhesion and keep edges sharp for a polished, designer look.
