- This video highlights some of the work involved in prepping and installing a 100% recycled rubber (three colour blend - brown, beige & black) coating over old cracked and damaged concrete pavers on a 500' long driveway. Located in the beautiful British Virgin Islands on the island of Tortola completed by Alternative Concrete Solutions following the devastating damages caused by Hurricanes Irma & Maria in 2017.

WhYs with the Grammy award winning speech, I think I even cryed
Haha we should be friends lmao 🤣 glad you thought so. Maybe I should make more voice over videos with these types of speeches what do you think?
Well said good prep is everything. Good attitude you will go far. You must make sure you charge enough for a good product. Don’t sell yourself short.
Thank you 😊 we typically lose out on some jobs because we’re considered “expensive” but professionals charge high and there’s enough clients willing to pay more than we charge. So it’s a balancing act for sure with regards to pricing in the Caribbean. I know what our worth is for sure and we have big aspirations for the Caribbean region 🙏🏼💪🏼
Wow That was a big job!
Ya it was for sure. Long days.
Awesome work you guys do! What is the spray bottles for , I saw one guy spray liquid on the crumb before troweling, was it diesel fuel, and how do you make a closed pore surface? Love your work!
Thank you very much. The trowels slide over the rubber granulars better if you spray it with soap water. That’s all that’s in the spray bottles. 👍🏼
This surface is relatively porous. The pours aren’t closed completely.
Im interested to learn more on how to install this stuff, im wanting to make a backyard play area for my kid
Email us at info@concretebvi.com I’ll explain the process to you and put you in touch with a supplier
Fantastic method for saving old concrete without an entire ripout being required! Do you ever do the Recycled Rubber Coating over new concrete?
Ecoscape - Permeable Pavement for the Planet it’s a new service for us so it’s only a matter of time. Not yet though, no.
Hey guys that was awesome. What was that machine you were using to lay down the layer of granuals? Did you make that or did you buy it? I looked kind of like a BIY kinda thing but really cool.
Hey 👋🏼 it’s called a screed box. We bought it from our supplier @coveryourugly I think it cost about $500 but can’t remember. You can also use a gauge rake if it’s a smaller job.
@@ConcreteBVI that's sweet thanks man!
Tarian not a problem. Anytime. 👍🏼
Can you post a link
What was the attachment you guys were using to lay the rubber pellets
Are you talking about that metal cart ? It’s called a screed box.
Hi looks a great job, there are Rumours that this stuff can be cancerous is this true? Thanks!
As long as you don’t eat rubber or urethane there shouldn’t be any issues. We only use this outdoors in well ventilated areas and haven’t had any issues. But yes it is widely known globally that plastics are cancerous but they are also widely used in construction and in household products
Wow, big job. I'm sure that sun made 10x more difficult. What advice would you give for someone looking to die and possibly starting up as a contractor?
Yes, it sure did make it more difficult. We have come a long way since this job, and if you watch some of our other rubber installation videos (the basketball court ones) you will see the shade structure we build for jobs like this to give us more working time in the extreme heat. With regards to advice for starting up your own business we actually made another video on our channel called “Start a concrete company: Our first 5 years of business in the concrete industry”. Check it out, it should have some useful information in there for you in order to get started. Do you have any construction experience? Are you looking to install just this rubberized service that you saw in this video or other decorative concrete services as well ?
@@ConcreteBVI I'm here in Florida and believe I could sell this up on top of pool decks in high end neighborhoods. I have some construction experience as a diy with pavers. I've poured concrete in smaller applications but have been looking at this product for some time. I'm considering trying out on my own home as a hands on experience but would love to know tools of the trade and insights to help me along .
@@707fv ya this stuff is good on pool decks for sure. Check out the suppliers website it’s www.coveryourugly.com .. all you really need to get started is a hand drill to mix (although depending on the size of your first job renting a mortar mixer will make your life a lot easier), a steel trowel, some xylene and a screed box. They will require you to become a dealer to purchase the product though. Not a lot of work, but will require a phone call to their Head Office in Canada. 1 888 799 3960
What is your avg installation rate per sq ft?
We have a lot of extra costs associated with operating in the Caribbean and shipping materials down here … but to answer your question we install rubberstone (this product) for $13-$15 USD / sq ft. Depending on colour. We also install Sierra stone from the same supplier but it’s stone and epoxy binder for $11-$13 sq ft. Then we also install Vuba Stone (same supplier) for $13-$15 sq ft. Which is stone, smaller quartz & polyurethane binder. So prices vary. But expect 30% higher operating costs for us down here in the islands than North America
@ConcreteBVI really appreciate your feedback. I am looking to possibly get into it so looking for a reasonable supplier
@@bmerrittful www.coveryourugly.com is them ! Good luck
@@ConcreteBVI you have an email contact?

You said you're praying for no rain. What happens if there is a light steady rain right after the job is finished?
A light steady rain won’t affect the binder / glue much at all once the material is put down even if it’s not dry yet. The water beads off of it and won’t dilute it. If it’s a heavy downpour of rain however this could cause bubbling which would require you to walk out onto that material and trowel it down again with a steel trowel. The biggest thing to avoid though is putting new material down on a substrate that has just got wet from the rain. The substrate needs to be dry before applying the primer. Luckily we didn’t have any of these issues on this job.
I’m about a year late for this video but man this is fantastic. I’ve owned a concrete refinishing company for over 17 years and we are just getting into this in our area. What is that pull machine you’re using to spread out the rub?
Great vid
Thank you for watching. Glad you liked the video. It’s called a screed box and cost around $500 USD if I remember correctly. It ensures an even distribution of material / thickness of the coating you’re installing to whatever thickness you need.
Is this a rubaroc application?
It’s not Rubaroc no, however their product is very similar. It’s from a company out of Canada 🇨🇦 called Rubber Stone but essentially the same thing as Rubaroc. Just a different manufacturer / supplier.
Rip beautiful driveway
Care to elaborate. ?
