Stamped Concrete FAQ

Stamped concrete is regular, reinforced concrete that is colored and pressed with patterned mats while it is still workable. The result looks like natural stone, brick, slate or wood, in one continuous slab.

A well-built and well-maintained stamped slab is made to last for many years. The base, reinforcement, control joints and sealer all matter, and re-sealing every few years keeps the surface looking its best.

The textured surface gives good traction, and we can add a slip-resistant additive to the sealer for pool decks, steps and other wet areas.
