Stamped & Decorative Concrete

Stamped and decorative concrete gives you the high-end look of natural stone, slate, brick, or tile without the high-end price tag. We can transform plain concrete into surfaces that mimic expensive materials while keeping all the benefits of concrete. You get a surface that looks beautiful and stands up to weather, traffic, and time.

The process involves pressing patterns into fresh concrete and adding color to create realistic textures and appearances. The result looks like individual pavers or natural stone but without the gaps where weeds grow or the shifting that happens with loose materials. Your decorative concrete surface stays level, does not develop trip hazards, and requires minimal maintenance.

We install decorative concrete for driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, and entryways. Each project is custom designed to match your home style and personal preferences. Whether you want the rustic charm of cobblestone or the elegant look of slate, we can create it in concrete.

Stamped concrete offers dozens of pattern options. The most popular patterns in our area replicate materials that homeowners love but find too expensive or impractical to install.

Popular Stamped Patterns:

• •Ashlar Slate: Large rectangular patterns that look like natural cut stone. Works well for patios and entryways with a formal appearance.
• •Cobblestone: Rounded stone pattern that creates an old-world European look. Perfect for curved walkways and driveway borders.
• •Wood Plank: Realistic wood grain texture without the maintenance of real wood. Great for pool decks where you want a natural look.
• •Seamless Stone: Random irregular patterns that mimic natural flagstone. Creates an organic, natural appearance for any surface.
• •Running Bond: Classic brick pattern arranged in offset rows. Traditional look that complements most architectural styles.
• •Random Stone: Varied shapes and sizes for a natural quarried stone appearance. No repeating patterns make it look authentic.

We can also create custom patterns or combine multiple patterns with borders and accents. The patterns work on any concrete surface including driveways, patios, and walkways. We bring sample boards to your site so you can see exactly how different patterns and colors will look.

Color transforms stamped concrete from good to great. We offer several methods to add color to your decorative concrete, each creating different effects and appearances.

Integral color mixes throughout the entire concrete, providing consistent color that will not wear off. This works well when you want a solid base color. Color hardener is applied to the surface during finishing for more vibrant, richer tones. It also increases surface hardness and durability.

Antiquing or accent colors highlight the texture of stamped patterns. We apply a contrasting color that settles into pattern lines and low spots, creating depth and dimension. This technique makes the pattern look more realistic and aged.

Staining offers the most color options and can be applied years after installation if you want to change the look. Acid stains create variegated, natural-looking tones. Water-based stains provide more consistent, predictable colors in a wider range of shades.

After stamping and coloring, we seal the concrete to protect the color and make the surface easier to clean. Sealer also enhances color richness and can add a subtle sheen. We recommend resealing every 2 to 3 years to maintain appearance and protection.
