Stamped Concrete

Want the look of brick, flagstone or even hardwood but without the expense or labor? If you are looking for a way to beautify your home and increase its value or give old concrete a new look, Stamped Concrete is a great choice for you.

But what exactly is Stamped Concrete?

Stamped Concrete, commonly referred to as decorative concrete is simply concrete that has been “stamped” with a form, pattern, or particular design prior to curing so that it resembles a natural stone and paver patio design. The concrete can be dyed to resemble a variety of finishes including brick, slate, wood or stone or cobblestone. Dry shakes, color hardeners, and occasionally acid stain is then used to provide color. The concrete is then sealed so the design retains its original appearance.

Benefits of Stamped Concrete

What’s great about concrete stamping is that it is affordable, and it doesn’t require a lot of maintenance. There are endless patters to choose from and you can customize the look any way you like. It is a wonderful option for your driveway or patio because nothing can grow thru cracks, and it won’t be prone to frost-heave or changes in the soil.

How Long Will it Last

Given the right care, the concrete can easily last several decades before it needs replacing, making it a great value for money choice for longevity.
