Custom Architectural Concrete in San Fernando, CA
WHAT WE DO
Board-formed walls rise in lifts of roughly 2 feet, each one vibrated just enough to push cement paste into the grain of the lumber without drawing stone to the face. INFINITE CONCRETE CREATIONS, INC.
forms custom architectural concrete in San Fernando, CA, including feature walls, columns, wall caps, copings, planters, and ornamental GFRC trim, with each detail drawn from the lines and proportions of your home. Licensed under California State License #1128122, we approach every piece we form as artists in concrete.
WHERE WE FORM
Hacienda Ranches, Glass-Box Moderns, and Everything Between
Architecture across our service area pulls in very different directions, and concrete details have to follow. Rolling Hills, CA, favors single-story ranch and hacienda-style homes, where rounded edges and quiet, natural color suit the setting. In West Hollywood, CA, narrow lots and modern facades call for crisp board-formed walls and slim GFRC panels that fit tight setbacks. Estates in Encino, CA, often mix both styles on one property. Back in San Fernando, CA, strong summer sun tests every sealer, and seismic movement shapes how we anchor heavier elements.
Architectural Details We Form, Cast, and Finish
Custom concrete earns its place only when it looks intentional rather than added on, so the style of the building around it guides the forming method, mix, and surface treatment for every element listed here.
01
Board-Formed Walls
Rough-sawn lumber lines the forms so every knot and grain line transfers to the finished face. Freestanding feature walls, entry screens, and courtyard walls get this treatment most, and fiberglass form ties can be cut flush to avoid rust marks.
02
Columns and Pilasters
Round, square, and tapered columns are cast in reusable molds or wrapped as GFRC shells around a structural post. Pilasters flank gates, entries, and garage doors, and we can add fluting, banding, or a cap that echoes your trim.
03
Wall Caps and Copings
Cast caps crown garden walls, pilasters, and pool edges with a finished top that sheds water. We form drip edges on the underside, size the overhang to the wall, and choose profiles from flat and chamfered to rounded bullnose.
04
Cast Concrete Planters
Large planters anchor entries, patios, and rooftop terraces with a sculptural presence. We cast them with drainage holes, seal the interior against constant moisture, and can use GFRC for pieces that must sit on decks or be moved occasionally.
05
GFRC Facade Panels
Thin, fiber-reinforced panels clad walls, chimneys, and exterior features without the weight of solid concrete. Sprayed or poured into custom molds, they arrive ready to mount on framing and can mimic honed limestone, smooth plaster, or board grain.
06
Custom Cast Trim Details
Window sills, door surrounds, cornices, medallions, and keystones finish a facade the way molding finishes a room. We carve or build a master pattern, make a mold from it, and cast matching pieces so every opening carries the same profile.

What Our Customers Say
Where Architectural Concrete Fits Your Home's Style
Concrete adapts to nearly any design language, and the same material that looks raw and modern on one house can look warm and handcrafted on another, depending on the forms, color, and finish we choose together.
01
Contemporary and Modern Homes
Clean planes, sharp corners, and exposed board grain suit modern houses best. Cast-in-place walls can run from the landscape straight through a glass wall into the interior, and GFRC cladding keeps a floating overhang or chimney from looking bulky.
02
Spanish and Mediterranean Homes
Warm pigments, eased edges, and hand-troweled textures complement stucco walls, clay-tile roofs, and arched openings. Cast sills, corbels, and door surrounds reproduce details that once came from carved stone, often at a fraction of the weight when made in GFRC.
03
Mid-Century and Ranch Homes
Low, horizontal lines call for long caps, simple pilasters, and planters that stay close to the ground. Integral color in muted greens, grays, or sand tones helps new concrete sit comfortably beside original brick, wood siding, or breeze block.
04
Pool and Courtyard Settings
Coping, water-edge walls, and courtyard planters take constant splashing, pool chemicals, and bare feet every summer. We choose dense mixes and penetrating sealers for these spots and round exposed edges so the details stay handsome and gentle on skin.
05
Interior Feature Walls
Indoors, board-formed or plain cast walls bring texture to entries, stairwells, and living rooms. Poured walls need planning with your builder long before drywall goes up, while GFRC panels can be added to existing framing during a remodel.
06
Commercial Storefronts and Lobbies
Restaurants, offices, and retail spaces use architectural concrete to set a tone at the front door. Signature walls, host stands, column covers, and planters give a business a consistent, tactile identity that holds up to busy foot traffic day after day.
WHO WE ARE
Your Architect's Drawing Is Our Starting Line
We read your architect's plans closely, then bring a sculptor's eye to every line. Before a full pour, we can cast a sample panel so you can see the board grain, color, and texture in daylight rather than guessing from a photo. Our family-owned team handles residential and commercial projects, keeps you updated through each stage, and holds to the schedule we agree on. Every detail is tailored to your home rather than pulled from a catalog. Open the conversation with an estimate request on our contact page.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
What is board-formed concrete?
It is concrete cast against wooden planks instead of plywood or steel forms, so the grain, knots, and seams of the lumber imprint on the surface. The result looks like wood captured in stone and suits walls, fireplaces, and landscape features.
What is the purpose of a wall cap?
A wall cap sheds rain off the top of a wall, protecting the joints and core below from moisture, staining, and cracking. An overhanging cap with a drip edge keeps runoff off the wall face, and its profile adds a finished architectural line.
What is the difference between architectural and structural concrete?
Structural concrete carries loads, and its appearance is secondary. Architectural concrete is meant to be seen, so form surfaces, mix color, consolidation, and finish get as much attention as strength, and some pieces are decorative only while others serve both roles.
What is a concrete form liner?
Form liners are textured mats, usually elastomeric or plastic, fastened inside the formwork so fresh concrete takes their pattern. They reproduce wood grain, stone, or geometric relief and can be reused, which keeps repeated wall panels consistent from one pour to the next.
Does board-formed concrete need to be sealed?
Sealing is wise, especially on outdoor walls. The textured face holds dust and absorbs water more readily than smooth concrete, so a penetrating sealer helps the surface resist staining, efflorescence, and weathering while keeping the raw, matte look most owners want.
What wood is used for board-formed concrete?
Douglas fir is a favorite because its grain prints clearly. At INFINITE CONCRETE CREATIONS, INC., we select rough-sawn or wire-brushed boards for projects in San Fernando, CA, based on how deep you want the texture and how tight the seams should read.
Can architectural concrete match an existing home's style?
Yes, and matching is often the goal. Our team at INFINITE CONCRETE CREATIONS, INC. studies existing trim profiles, colors, and textures on homes in San Fernando, CA, then builds molds and test samples until the new concrete reads as original to the house.
How are GFRC panels attached to a building?
Most panels carry embedded anchors or a light steel frame on the back that fastens to the structure behind. Flexible connections let each panel move slightly with temperature swings and seismic motion, which helps prevent cracking at the joints.
Details Built To Belong To Your House From The Start
