Our story
It started with a need.
It grew with your projects.
Black Diamond Coatings began in Tampa in 2013 with a focus on high-performance, water-based sealers. The idea was practical: create better solutions for people caring for their hardscapes.
Today, our Brooksville-based team makes sealers, polymeric sand, landscape adhesives, and cleaners under three brands: DOMINATOR®, AQUA-X®, and OBSESS®. We serve professional contractors and homeowners taking on projects of their own.
We’re still a veteran- and family-owned manufacturer, with people behind the products who are here to help you choose and use them.
