Stamped & Decorative Concrete
Get the high-end look of stone or brick with the durability and affordability of concrete.
What Is Stamped Concrete?
Stamped concrete lets you create the appearance of brick, stone, slate, or even wood using patterns pressed into freshly poured concrete. You get the look of expensive materials at a fraction of the cost, and the durability of solid concrete.
We can stamp driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, and more. The process involves pouring concrete, adding color, pressing patterns with special stamps, and sealing the surface. The result is a beautiful, durable surface that requires less maintenance than the real materials it mimics.
In Mount Vernon, stamped concrete is popular because it combines Pacific Northwest aesthetics with practical durability. Your stamped patio or driveway stands up to rain, temperature changes, and daily use while looking great year after year.concrete work throughout Mount Vernon
Stamped Concrete Options
We offer a wide range of patterns, colors, and finishes. Here is what you can choose:
Popular Patterns
Choose from cobblestone, slate, ashlar stone, brick, wood plank, and more. We have dozens of stamp patterns that create realistic textures and shapes. During your consultation, we will show you samples and help you pick a pattern that matches your home's style.
Color Options
We use integral color mixed into the concrete plus color hardeners applied to the surface. This creates depth and variation that looks natural. You can choose earth tones, grays, warm reds, or custom colors to complement your property.
Borders and Accents
Add contrasting borders or accent bands to define spaces and add visual interest. A different pattern or color around the edges creates a custom, high-end look.
Sealed Finishes
After stamping, we seal the concrete to protect it and enhance the color. You can choose from matte, satin, or glossy finishes depending on the look you want. Sealing also makes cleaning easier and extends the life of your decorative concrete.
Where to Use Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete works for almost any horizontal surface. Here are the most popular applications:
- Patios and Outdoor Living Areas: Create an elegant outdoor space that looks like natural stone but costs less and requires minimal maintenance.
- Driveways and Entries: Make a strong first impression with a driveway that looks like brick pavers or cobblestone but handles vehicle traffic better.
- Pool Decks: Stamped concrete stays cooler than standard concrete and provides better traction. Perfect for pool surrounds.
- Walkways and Paths: Add character to garden paths and front walkways with patterns that complement your landscaping.
- Interior Floors: Stamped concrete works indoors too. Basements, garages, and sunrooms benefit from its durability and style.
Benefits Over Other Materials
Compared to real stone or pavers, stamped concrete costs less to install and requires less maintenance. Individual pavers can shift, settle, and allow weeds to grow between them. Stamped concrete stays level and solid.
Wood decks require regular staining and sealing. They rot, warp, and attract insects. Stamped concrete needs just occasional cleaning and resealing every few years. In Mount Vernon's wet climate, that is a big advantage.
