Concrete Training – Water Feature, Formless Concrete, GFRC Panels, & Foam Core.
What You’ll Learn & Build
-
Multi-Level Water Feature: Design and build a spectacular water feature with multiple levels (think cascading waterfalls!).
-
Multi-Level Pond Construction: Create a tiered pond system from scratch, adding depth and dimension to your landscape.
-
The Art of Formless Concrete: Master techniques for shaping concrete without traditional forms – unleash your creativity!
-
Arch Form Bridge: Build an arched bridge by hand (yes, just like that iconic stone arch bridge in our illustrations!) to span your water feature.
-
Artistic Concrete Coloring: Play with colors and stains to give your concrete creation personality and flair.
-
Water Wheel Integration: Top it all off by installing a working water wheel into the feature for that wow factor.
If you can picture it, you can build it – and we’ll show you how! From flowing water to solid stone-like structures, you’ll gain skills to create a real showpiece.

These guys have years of experience turning concrete into jaw-dropping art, and now you get to learn directly from them.
Concrete stamping
Our first love is concrete stamping. This is our specialty. We have access to about 25 different stamp patterns. We design creative patterns using borders and multiple stamp patterns. We are artists stamping concrete, rather than contractors stamping concrete.
Epoxy floors
We are trained and install Elite Crete Flooring Systems including flake, reflector, quartz, stout, and more. They are great for garages, shops, showrooms, durable production rooms, and more. See more about epoxy floors here.
Concrete overlays
Would you like to liven up existing concrete? We repair and resurface concrete into any stamp pattern or texture that you would like. We restore and resurface concrete using polymer modified overlay material which is stronger than concrete. We polish concrete as well. See more here.
Hardscapes
We create a wide variety of hardscapes including highly functional and decorative concrete retaining walls. We additionally build beautiful firepits, waterfalls, water features and ponds, outdoor kitchens, sitting walls, and concrete trees & stumps. See Hardscapes here.

About Us:
Over the past 25 years, Patrick & Monika Zweifel has built up Oregon Coastal Flowers into one of America’s premier flower farms, shipping specialty flowers and branches nationwide. Covid has hit the farm hard with the cancellation or delay of events. So we have turned our hobby and talent of decorative concrete into our livelihood and hence Oregon Coastal Flowers (OCF) Decorative Concrete. We have acquired our contractors license and happy to share our talents with the community.
