Stamped concrete is a specialty concrete finish that replicates the appearance of materials like brick, slate, stone, or wood. It involves blending colors and pressing patterns and textures onto freshly poured concrete before it fully sets.

Stamped concrete is an extremely durable and low maintenance alternative to the materials that it emulates. It will never warp, bend, rot, splinter, separate, sink, or grow unsightly weeds like its alternatives. It offers a wide range of customizable design options and is more cost effective than pavers or wooden decks. It is a perfect material choice for people who live in a freeze-thaw climate who are looking for a "set it and forget it" outdoor space that looks great and lasts a long time.

With proper installation and minimal routine maintenance, stamped concrete can look good for decades. Factors such as climate, usage, and maintenance practices can impact its longevity so we will assess your situation to provide you with appropriate mix design and site engineering to keep your investment looking pristine for as long as possible. Overall it requires less long term care than most of the materials it replicates.  

Yes, stamped concrete is highly customizable. You can choose from various patterns, colors, and textures to create a unique look that complements your aesthetic preferences and the surrounding environment.

Stamped concrete requires periodic cleaning and resealing to protect it from stains, wear, and weathering. Regular sweeping and occasional pressure washing can help maintain its appearance. Sealers normally last between 5-10 years depending on usage and climate.

The slipperiness of stamped concrete can depend on the sealer used and the texture of the surface. We always use a non-slip additive with our sealer to enhance traction even when its wet.

Proper installation and sealing help to protect it from harsh weather and freeze-thaw cycles. Regular maintenance can mitigate weather-related issues as well.

While stamped concrete is typically used outdoors for patios, driveways, and walkways, it can also be applied indoors for decorative flooring. It provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional flooring materials.  

Stamped concrete is often more cost-effective than using natural stone, brick, or other premium materials. The total cost depends on factors such as the chosen design, size of the project, and local material prices. Many other factors can contribute but its generally cheaper and more durable.

The installation time varies based on the size and complexity of the project. On average, a stamped concrete project can take a few days to a couple of weeks, including the curing time.
