Our decorative options let you customize every detail to match your home style and personal taste.

Popular Stamped Concrete Patterns and Finishes

Stamped concrete uses specially designed mats to press patterns into freshly poured concrete. This creates realistic textures that mimic natural materials. Here are some of the most popular options:

• •Slate and Flagstone: Natural stone patterns perfect for patios, walkways, and pool decks.
• •Cobblestone and Brick: Classic Old World charm for driveways, courtyards, and entryways.
• •Wood Plank: Authentic wood grain texture without the maintenance or rot issues of real wood.
• •Ashlar and Random Stone: Large stone patterns that create a custom, high-end appearance.
• •Seamless Textures: Smooth patterns like fan, broom, or swirl designs for a modern look.

Color and Finishing Options

Color transforms stamped concrete from good to great. We offer multiple coloring techniques to achieve the exact look you want. Integral color is mixed directly into the concrete for uniform color throughout. Color hardener is applied to the surface for deeper, richer tones. Acid stains create variegated, natural-looking color variations. Antiquing and highlighting add depth and dimension to stamped patterns.

We can match almost any color palette, from earthy browns and grays to vibrant reds and blues. Most clients choose neutral tones that complement their home exterior, but we are happy to work with bold colors if that fits your design vision. During your consultation, we will show you color samples and photos of completed projects to help you decide.

Beyond stamping, we also offer exposed aggregate finishes, which reveal the natural beauty of the stones in the concrete mix. This creates excellent texture and slip resistance, making it ideal for pool areas and outdoor entertaining spaces. Polished concrete is another option for interior floors, creating a sleek, modern appearance that is easy to maintain.

Why Choose Decorative Concrete

Decorative concrete offers practical advantages beyond just looking good. Installation is faster than laying individual pavers or stones, which means less disruption to your property. The continuous surface has no gaps for weeds to grow through, eliminating one of the biggest maintenance headaches of traditional pavers.

Durability is another major benefit. Properly installed stamped concrete can last 25 years or more with basic maintenance. It resists fading from UV exposure when sealed regularly. The surface stays level, unlike pavers that can shift and settle over time. And if damage does occur, repairs are straightforward and blend seamlessly with the existing surface.

Cost is where decorative concrete really shines. You can achieve the look of premium materials at a fraction of the price. Natural stone and pavers often cost two to three times more per square foot. When you factor in long-term maintenance savings, the value becomes even more clear. We can also apply decorative finishes to existing concrete surfaces through overlays and resurfacing.
