Stamped & Decorative Concrete

Why Choose Decorative Concrete

Stamped concrete gives you the upscale appearance of expensive materials without the high price tag or constant maintenance. Instead of paying for individual pavers or natural stone that can shift and settle over time, you get a continuous surface that looks impressive and stays level.

Your Farmington property deserves to look its best. Whether you want your driveway to mimic cobblestone, your patio to resemble slate, or your walkway to look like brick, we create custom designs that match your home's style and your personal taste.

Popular Patterns and Color Options

We offer dozens of stamp patterns and color combinations. Here are some favorites:

• Ashlar slate: Random rectangular patterns that look like natural cut stone.
• Cobblestone: Old-world European look with rounded edges and varied stone sizes.
• Wood plank: Realistic wood grain texture perfect for patios and pool decks.
• Brick herringbone: Classic brick pattern laid at 45-degree angles.
• Seamless stone: Large irregular stone appearance with natural texture.

We can also blend multiple colors to create depth and variation, just like you'd see in natural materials. During your consultation, we show you samples and help you pick the combination that works best with your home.

Where to Use Stamped Concrete

Stamped concrete works great for almost any horizontal surface around your home. We install it on driveways, patios, pool decks, walkways, and entryways. It's also perfect for outdoor living spaces where you want something more attractive than plain gray concrete.

You can combine stamped concrete with regular or exposed aggregate finishes to create borders or accent areas. This adds visual interest without overwhelming your design. We've done everything from small front walkways to entire backyard entertainment areas with multiple pattern zones.

If you're planning a concrete patio, stamped finishing is an upgrade option that dramatically improves the final look without adding much cost compared to premium pavers or natural stone.

Installation and Maintenance

Creating stamped concrete takes skill and timing. We pour the concrete, add color hardener, and then stamp the pattern while it's still workable. The timing window is short, so we work efficiently to ensure crisp, consistent impressions across your entire surface.

After installation, we seal your stamped concrete to protect the color and make it easier to clean. You'll need to reseal it every 2-3 years depending on traffic and weather exposure. That's the only real maintenance required, much less work than maintaining pavers or natural stone.

The sealer also makes your surface slip-resistant when wet, which is important for pool decks and areas that get rain or irrigation overspray. We use quality sealers that stand up to Farmington's sun and temperature swings.
