Stamped & Decorative Concrete

Beautiful Concrete That Looks Like Premium Materials

Stamped concrete gives you the appearance of expensive materials like natural stone, slate, brick, or wood without the high cost or ongoing maintenance. We pour standard concrete and then imprint realistic patterns and textures into the surface before it fully hardens. Add color, and you get a custom look that rivals materials costing two to three times as much.

The beauty of stamped concrete is that it combines aesthetics with practicality. You get a stunning surface that's also durable, low maintenance, and built to last decades. Unlike pavers that shift and grow weeds, or natural stone that needs regular sealing and repair, stamped concrete stays put and looks great with minimal upkeep.

We install stamped concrete for driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, and any outdoor space where you want something special. Whether you're going for a rustic stone look, elegant slate, traditional brick, or something completely custom, we have the patterns, textures, and colors to make it happen.

Popular Stamped Concrete Patterns and Styles

The right pattern transforms ordinary concrete into a design feature that complements your home and landscape. We offer dozens of stamp patterns to match any architectural style.

Pattern Options We Install

• Ashlar slate patterns for a classic, elegant look with irregular stone shapes
• Cobblestone and European fan patterns for Old World charm
• Flagstone textures that mimic natural cut stone with realistic edges
• Brick patterns in running bond, herringbone, or basket weave layouts
• Wood plank stamps for a rustic boardwalk or deck appearance
• Large format tile patterns for a contemporary, clean aesthetic

Each pattern can be customized with different colors, including multi-tone effects that add depth and realism. We'll show you samples and photos of completed projects so you can visualize how different patterns will look in your space.

Color options range from natural earth tones like gray, tan, and brown to warmer shades of red, rust, and terra cotta. We can also create custom color blends to match your home's exterior or landscape design. The color is integrated into the concrete or applied as a hardener, so it won't peel or fade like paint.

The Stamped Concrete Installation Process

Creating beautiful stamped concrete requires skill, timing, and attention to detail. The process is more involved than standard concrete work, but the results are worth it.

How We Create Your Custom Surface

Preparation and Base Work: Just like any concrete project, we start with proper site preparation. We excavate, grade, and compact the base to ensure a stable foundation. This prevents future settling or cracking that would ruin the decorative finish.

Concrete Pour and Initial Finishing: We pour the concrete and work it to the right consistency for stamping. The timing is critical here. We need to let the concrete set up enough to hold the stamp pattern but stay workable enough to accept the impression.

Color Application: We apply color using integral color mixed into the concrete, color hardeners broadcast on the surface, or both for a layered effect. Release agents prevent the stamps from sticking while adding subtle accent colors to the texture.

Stamping: We press the pattern stamps into the concrete, carefully aligning them to create a continuous, realistic pattern. This is where experience matters. Poor stamping technique creates obvious seams and unrealistic patterns. We've been doing this long enough to make it look natural.

Sealing and Protection: After the concrete cures, we clean the surface and apply a protective sealer. This enhances the colors, protects against stains and weather, and makes maintenance easier. Resealing every few years keeps your stamped concrete looking fresh.

The entire process typically takes 2 to 4 days depending on project size. Weather plays a bigger role with stamped concrete than standard work, so we schedule carefully to ensure ideal conditions.
