What Is Stamped Concrete

Stamped concrete lets you have the look of high-end materials without the high-end price. We pour regular concrete, then press patterns into the surface while it's still wet. The result looks like natural stone, pavers, brick, slate, or even wood planks.

You get all the strength and durability of quality concrete work with the visual appeal of premium materials. It's perfect for homeowners who want something special but need to stick to a realistic budget.

Popular Pattern Options

We offer dozens of stamp patterns to match your style. Here are some favorites:

  • Ashlar slate for a classic stone look
  • Cobblestone for old-world European charm
  • Running bond brick for traditional elegance
  • Flagstone for a natural, irregular pattern
  • Wood plank for rustic appeal without rot or splinters
  • Random stone for organic, flowing designs

Not sure which pattern fits your home best? We bring samples so you can see and feel the textures before making your decision.

Color Choices That Look Real

The right color makes stamped concrete look authentic. We can blend multiple colors to create natural variation, just like real stone. Common choices include earth tones like tan, brown, gray, and terracotta. We can also do bolder colors if that fits your design vision.

We use two coloring methods. First, we can add color directly to the wet concrete for a base tone. Then we apply color hardeners and release agents to create depth and variation. The combination produces realistic results that fool most people into thinking it's the real thing.

Best Uses for Stamped Concrete

Patios

Stamped concrete patios create stunning outdoor living spaces. They resist fading, don't settle like pavers, and require minimal maintenance compared to wood decks.

Pool Decks

Stamped concrete around pools provides a slip-resistant surface that stays cooler than plain concrete. Plus, you avoid the gaps where weeds grow with pavers.

Driveways

Give your driveway major curb appeal with stamped concrete. It handles vehicle traffic just fine while making your home stand out on the street.

Walkways and Entryways

Create an inviting entrance with stamped concrete paths. They welcome guests while adding value to your property.

Easy Maintenance, Long Lifespan

Stamped concrete needs less upkeep than the materials it mimics. You won't replace individual pavers, restain wood, or reset shifting stones. Just sweep it clean and reseal every 2-3 years to protect the color and surface.

When properly installed and maintained, stamped concrete lasts just as long as regular concrete, which means decades of use. The pattern won't wear off because it's pressed into the concrete itself, not applied on top.
