Stamped & Decorative Concrete

Why Choose Stamped Concrete

Stamped concrete combines the durability of standard concrete with the aesthetic appeal of premium materials. You get a custom look that matches your home style without the problems that come with individual pavers or natural stone. The surface is easier to clean, does not trap weeds, and stays level over time.

We apply color to the concrete using integral color (mixed throughout) or color hardeners (applied to the surface). Then we press texture mats into the concrete while it is still workable to create realistic patterns. Once the concrete cures, we seal it to protect the color and make the surface resistant to stains, water, and UV damage. Our team handles every step with precision to ensure you get a professional result that lasts.

Popular Patterns and Styles

We offer a wide range of stamping patterns and color options to match your vision. Here are some of the most popular choices:

• •Ashlar Slate: Large rectangular stones with natural texture, perfect for patios and walkways
• •Cobblestone: Old-world European look with rounded edges and varied stone sizes
• •Brick Herringbone: Classic brick pattern at a 45-degree angle, great for driveways
• •Flagstone: Irregular stone pieces that create a natural, organic look
• •Wood Plank: Realistic wood grain texture without the rot or splinters
• •Seamless Texture: Smooth patterns like travertine or limestone for a refined look

We bring pattern samples to your property so you can see how different options look with your home and landscaping. You can also choose custom color combinations to match or complement your exterior paint, roof, and other features.

The Installation Process

Creating stamped concrete requires skill and timing. The process is similar to standard concrete installation but with additional steps for color and texture. Here is what we do:

We start with proper site preparation, including excavation, base compaction, and grading for drainage. Then we set forms and add reinforcement. When we pour the concrete, we work in sections to maintain control over the stamping process. After the concrete is placed and leveled, we apply color hardener and use specialized tools to press texture mats into the surface. Timing is critical during this step because the concrete needs to be firm enough to hold the pattern but soft enough to accept the stamps.

Once the concrete cures, we clean the surface and apply a high-quality sealer. The sealer enhances the color, adds a subtle sheen, and protects against stains and weather damage. Our patio installation expertise ensures proper base work, and our driveway services mean we know how to handle large stamped surfaces that need to support vehicle weight.

Maintenance and Longevity

Stamped concrete is one of the easiest outdoor surfaces to maintain. You do not need to pull weeds from joints, replace individual pavers, or worry about uneven settling. Regular sweeping and occasional washing with a garden hose keep the surface looking good. Every few years, you should reseal the concrete to maintain color vibrancy and surface protection.

With proper installation and basic maintenance, stamped concrete lasts 20 to 30 years or more. If damage does occur, we can make spot repairs without replacing the entire surface. That level of durability and low maintenance makes decorative concrete one of the best long-term investments for your property.
