“I first used Natina on some small areas to determine if Natina really worked as well as other options out there. Not only did Natina work just as well but it was more affordable than the alternatives. Natina was applied to our boulders around an irrigation lake on the golf course. Natina Rock Solution worked great! We will be using Natina for future jobs we have within our development.”

About Natina
Natina’s history goes back to 2004 in Palm Desert, California. Brian Hardin, a Natina founder and former golf course designer and general contractor, partnered with Ed Foster, a specialist in plant nutrition, to develop a unique product that colors existing rock naturally into a desert varnish. After two years of research and development, they introduced Natina to the market — first for rock, then for concrete and steel.
Natina is one of the fastest growing construction companies in Arizona. We are passionate about our products and their consistent performance, blending small to large scale commercial projects into their surrounding environment. If you have an upcoming project, we would love to help and enhance the world you see.
About Natina
Reactive Color Treatment for Cut Slopes, Existing Rock and more
When applied, Natina enhances the beauty of rock in diverse landscapes. Natina is a revolutionary treatment that reacts with, and colors, the minerals in rocks to achieve beautiful earthy, brown hues in a matter of days. Nature, on the other hand, would take hundreds of years to create the same patina color. Natina Rock Solution changed the status quo and is superior to other colorants because of its high quality and non-toxic formulation, which will not fade, crack or peel.
Our Approach
Is the rock decorative and the central focus of your project? Does it need to complement and blend into the environment? Are you looking for natural, desert varnish finish? If your answer to either question is yes, Natina is here to help. With every project, our goal is to provide brown hues that:
- Complements any landscape or scenery
- Is safe around plants and wildlife
- Delivers lasting results with little to no maintenance
- Promotes competitive pricing
- Achieves your desired results
Our Approach
Our Latest Project: Lake Mead Rock
Natina Rock Solution recreates the natural patina on existing rock surfaces by utilizing a high-quality mix of minerals and soft, buffered organic acids. Before treatment, these excavated boulders were bright white and now they are a beautiful brown shade that complements the surrounding terrain.
Experienced Professionals in Construction and Aesthetics
Natina is the right choice if you are looking for a construction company that values quality service in all areas, including but not limited to:

Like landscape architects, engineers, and contractors — Natina understands that the public has an eye for beauty and aesthetics. “Aesthetically pleasing” is calling something beautiful or pleasing to the exterior of an object or scenery. As we enhance environments and change how people see construction, we know we can help the aesthetics of your project.
Advantages of Natina Rock Solution Color
Natina Rock Solution creates natural colors ranging from tan to dark brown that will not fade from
sun exposure like traditional stains.
Additional benefits of Natina include:
Beautifies construction. Natina blends and enhances commercial construction projects. Natina provides the right brown tones you need to color existing or newly excavated rock.
Increased protection against the sun. Ultraviolet rays can break down chemical bonds and fade the color of an object (e.g. bleaching effect). Some objects may be more prone to fading, such as coated or stained rock surfaces. Natina Rock Solution creates rich, lasting results that do not fade due to UV rays.
Safe for plants and animals. Natina Rock Solution is an eco-friendly formula and is safe to use around plant and animal life. All our products are regularly tested, non-toxic and safe for communities and the environment.
Natural brown hues. Take ordinary gray rock and transform it into a rock that stands out or blends in. Natina creates stunning brown tones that complement any scenery.
Ensure your project looks its best for communities and your clients! Natina guarantees quality color results. Want to learn more about Natina?

Options for Natural, Long-Lasting Color
Reactive Color Treatment for Concrete
Reimagine the way you see concrete
Natina Concrete Solution changes ordinary gray concrete into unique shades of brown. While pigment-based colorants sit on top of concrete, Natina naturally reacts with, and colors, the minerals in concrete to produce beautiful, lasting colors ranging from tan to rich browns. Natina’s team of professionals understands that the right color is essential for a high-quality concrete finish. Thus, we are happy to assist you at each step to ensure the right color is achieved. Whether you are undertaking small renovations at a park or a large scale commercial project, our extensive knowledge in the industry and expertise guarantee that Natina has the solutions for your concrete color needs.
Reactive Color Treatment for Steel
Turn galvanized metal into a natural brown finish
Natina Steel Solution differs from paints, stains and coatings since it naturally reacts to galvanized metal or steel, developing into a mottled and rustic, brown finish. Our team specializes in applying Natina on galvanized surfaces for lasting color that does not fade, crack or peel. Natina requires no maintenance and blends seamlessly into cityscapes or natural surroundings. Our popular weathered steel look is what you would see in nature itself with arrays of rich, brown hues. Natina has a resilient formula and competitive pricing compared to conventional paints, stains and coatings. All our solutions are natural, non-toxic and environmentally-safe.
Customer Success Stories
We used Natina Rock Solution to help visually mitigate some scarring on a small rock bench in the Yosemite National Park. I was very pleased with the results of the solution and found it to be appropriate and beneficial for this type of use.

Natina is the perfect treatment for many landscape projects. When metalwork and concrete are a part of our exterior landscape designs, Natina offers an ideal way to create a natural look for introduced elements. Our office has specified Natina on metal, concrete, and even boulders to achieve the right color for natural landscapes. We’ve used Natina on items that need to function within the urban landscape as barriers and to direct pedestrian movement. The clients also like the low maintenance or need for sealers on the finished product. Natina reps are so helpful in ensuring that the details are addressed for the perfect end result!

Thurston County used Natina’s Reactive Color Treatment on our most recent installation of guardrail along Waddell Creek Road and Gate Road. Natina’s final finish provided an aesthetic shade of brown to blend into the beautiful surrounding environment. This natural look was a must-have along Thurston County’s Bountiful Byway.

For our project in the Shoshone National Forest, there is a significant color reaction between the Natina Concrete Solution and the shotcrete wall (along with soil-nailing). In just over 2 weeks, the color treatment progress was extremely successful in mitigating the brighter gray surface. In our opinion, it better blends into the slope than the adjacent monotone single color block retaining wall. Natina Solutions plus material costs and two USFS salary days was very cost-effective and saved us time and money.

Natina has a wonderful brown hue spectrum for our concrete project’s desert palette. These solutions help to blend bland gray concrete, which is an eyesore, into our desert landscape for a more natural aesthetic. Being environmentally friendly is another reason Natina Solutions are chosen over other products that are calked full of chemicals, VOC’s, and other environmentally unfriendly ingredients. Natina is inexpensive compared to integral colored concrete, helps us get the perfect color we want every time, and we know it will save the project money.

I have worked with Natina for years on many guardrail projects throughout Colorado. My team and I have recommended their steel color because of its natural finish. Natina’s environmental stain is a wonderful color alternative to blend in with Colorado’s beautiful mountains. Natina is easy to work with and we have enjoyed our long relationship.

On our recent multi-modal improvement project in Northern Nevada, we wanted to ensure the metal features blended into the surrounding high desert landscape. Natina was an ideal color option to change the shiny metal pedestrian railings and guard rails into a natural, rustic brown. I recommend Natina Steel Solution for projects that need an aesthetic look and color for galvanized metals.

As a guardrail installer, we see miles and miles of guardrail and have worked with various kinds of companies. Gonzales Construction has worked with Natina on many transportation projects over the years. We recommend Natina Steel Solution to other clients over paint, weathering steel and powder coating. We have only had good experiences with them and top-notch customer service. We will continue to use Natina for all of our galvanized surface needs.

Natina was exactly what we needed at the Phoenix Zoo. At our Visayan warty pig habitat, we were looking for a safe product for this species, plus one that would withstand the harsh climate in Arizona, as well as require little upkeep. Natina was approved by our zoo veterinarians for the enclosure and agreed upon by our operations team for the low maintenance factor. The brown finish blended in well for this exhibit and we are happy with the results.

We have been using Natina for almost 10 years. They have an extraordinary team supporting us with any questions, orders and logistics.
