Presently stamped concrete has undeniably attained cult status by gaining prominence as a premier decorating option for outdoor concrete surfaces such as driveways and patios apart from interior flooring and vertical surfaces. It is known as imprinted or patterned concrete as well. The commercial viability and flexibility of stamped concrete by us make it the go-to option whenever simple, gray concrete doesn’t seem sufficient. Stamped concrete ensures that you can enjoy the appearance of natural stone patterns like flagstone, slate, brick, and cobblestone without the exorbitant charges of original rock and stone and the time-consuming installation of the stones individually. In this article, we’ve identified six ways that our concrete driveway contractors can help you to accomplish the home of your dream with stamped concrete enhancements. 

Seamless Texturizing 

Concrete stamp mats can be utilized to develop a particular texture to a concrete surface devoid of joint lines. Slate has gained popularity for its multiple natural shades and with robust concrete stamps and custom concrete stains, any slate color can be copied, or, or you can create your custom concrete design. We have seen that the original slate isn’t as durable as concrete is. It will subsequently begin to wear and tear. That’s why a seamless and sealed stamped decorative concrete finish will continue to serve you for decades devoid of cracks, chips, or fading, necessitating very less maintenance. 

Coupled with Another Decorative Concrete Style 

We also suggest that if there are wide open spaces of plain concrete like a patio and pool deck combination or a spacious courtyard, you can determine activity areas by utilizing more than a single style of decorative concrete. It’ll be great if the patio area receives a stamped concrete Ashlar slate design and the pool deck gets a PebbleKoat river rock overlay featuring a pool edge border of matching stamped Ashlar slate. Custom concrete stains are perfectly expected to match the river rock colors for an eye-catchy coordinated backyard oasis. 

Faux Wood Finishes 

Stamped concrete has launched the daring utilization of faux wood finishes for decorators and homeowners. Now our clients can have outdoor “wood” patios, walkways, porches, and steps without bothering at all about real wood such as splintering, warping, dry rot, and cracking from adverse weather. With custom concrete stamps, wood plank completions from narrow to wide, and smooth textures to rugged reclaimed wood are only one stamp away. Custom concrete stains allow you to precisely have the color you wish from light to dark wood tones or match colors to the present landscape elements in the yard. Moreover, interior floors can take pleasure in the beauty of wood in any room with durability that defies a hectic family life without damage. 

Texture Plus Design 

For the appearance of grouted stone, stamped concrete provides you with a wide range of life-like stone patterns, including cobblestone, flagstone, brick, and slate. Concrete stamps can texturize and also imprint stone shapes and grout lines for the complete look of an original grouted stone or tiles. If the patio happens to be an aging red brick with worsening grout and broken bricks, then we ensure that a resurfacing concrete overlay conceals the damage, providing you with a fresh surface that was stamped with an Ashlar slate design for an outstanding result. Concrete stamps can be utilized with overlays for the present concrete slabs, or they can be applied to any recently poured concrete before it heals and solidifies. 

Stamped Decorative Borders Strengthen Stained Concrete 

If budget constraints minimize the probability of stamped concrete for your complete concrete makeover, applying stamped concrete borders simultaneously with a more budget-friendly resurfacing system can be the ideal solution. You need not give up the dream of stone, you can easily have cobblestone, flagstone, or slate borders including texture and color to make your spaces come alive. Stamped flagstone borders emphasize this stained concrete patio and develop a driveway of excellence with flagstone highlighted in a broom-swept concrete finish. 

Add Artistic Touches with Stencils 

Including stencils and custom logos or designs is another amazing feature of stamped concrete. Stamped and hand-colored designs are an essential component of the entire stamped concrete and don’t peel off or fade with time and use. We recommend the creation of a focal point on a patio or personalizing a driveway with a family crest or sports team logo. Colorful stenciled rug designs have gained prominence for outdoor patios, interior entryways, and front porches. Our clients are encouraged to show their decorating instincts to the outer world!

You aren’t restricted to whatever styles and colors are available in the big box stores or the favorites of your local stonemason.
