Absolutely not, steel is by far the most important part of any concrete project. It is what holds everything together and keeps it from breaking and falling apart over time. Without it the whole area would slowly fail due to the ground settling and shifting over the years to come. We only do jobs with steel forming because we only provide our customers with the highest quality work and take pride in our longevity standards. Any company that does not use steel forming is scamming the customer because the product will not last and slowly fail overtime.

We have a nice write up in our About Us section, even if you do not choose Silva Stamped Concrete, there is a good amount of information there for anyone looking to educate themselves more about the product.

In most cases yes, because the concrete is still in its early curing stages it tends to absorb any sealer applied to it and the concrete also lightens up as it releases moisture over this period of time (think of dark wet concrete versus a light colored foundation or sidewalk). We highly recommend sealing it again the following year after everything is completely cured as this will even out the color while preserving it and prevent staining, at this time we can also have more non-slip material applied.

It is still important to watch the chemistry level of your water to prevent corrosion and staining. Things like too much calcium/hardness can cause white marks to form and not enough can cause other issues as well. Chlorine and other chemicals are also corrosive when used in larger quantities than recommend especially when closing the pool for the winter. It is also not recommend to have anything solid like a carpet or tarp over the concrete as this traps moisture underneath which can cause blushing, pitting, and traps any chemical vapors in the pool and under the tarp. It is recommended to use a loop loc pool cover or any other similar product which does not sit directly on the concrete and is meshed to allow said vapors to escape.
