What is Stamped Concrete?
Stamped concrete is a type of decorative finish that we apply to freshly laid (and still soft) concrete by stamping in patterns or textures using special equipment and tools. The versatility of this process allows us to replicate the look of other popular hardscaping products, such as flagstone, cobblestone, brick, tile, and wood plank. In the end, you have a long-lasting concrete product with the appearance of high-end materials at a much lower cost.
We utilize our professional-grade stamps and color hardener to provide an authentic-looking texture and color. Compared to regular concrete, the decorative aspect of stamped concrete gives the finished product a distinctive look from regular concrete, yet maintains the same strength and functionality of concrete. Stamped concrete also offers the “best bang for your buck” compared to pavers and exposed aggregate in terms of aesthetics, durability, and value.

Stamped Concrete Overlay
Stamped concrete overlay is a great option if you have an old but structurally sound slab of concrete to work from. A stamped concrete overlay involves applying a very thin layer of new concrete to the top of the existing concrete (that’s already in good shape) and then stamping that new concrete with your choice of design or texture. The stamped concrete overlay method allows for the restoration of deteriorated slabs by adding a new layer of concrete on top of the original instead of tearing out and replacing all of the original concrete.
Is Stamped Concrete Expensive?
Stamped concrete is often significantly more costly than regular concrete because of all the added products (such as aggregate, stamping tools, and sealers) and the highly skilled labor involved. While there are several other, more expensive options for natural-looking surfaces, such as flagstone and slate, stamped concrete is still an economical option, making it a very good value when compared to its competitors.
