Stamped Concrete

The people who do our stamped concrete are pros. They thoroughly prepare the ground by removing sod, framing the perimeter, and installing 3”-4” of gravel. This step is critical in order to have sufficient gravel so water does not erode the earth below the concrete and create a pocket which can fill with water, freeze and bust your concrete a year or two later.

They then install some combination of wire mesh, rebar and use 4” of concrete with fiber mesh to minimize the chances of any cracking. There are all kinds of ways to skimp on a concrete job, but we don’t. We install your concrete the right way… even if it costs us a few bucks extra.

In addition to the above, because (unless treated with a special concrete hardener) we know that ALL standard concrete will crack eventually, instead of trying to create a wide, shallow control/expansion joint while the concrete is still wet, our people return when the concrete is set up and run a thin concrete cutting blade 1.5” deep to make the concrete more likely to crack under these deep cuts which will hide them from view.

No one can completely stop standard concrete from cracking, but we can help to control WHERE it cracks and go a long way toward preventing ugly cracks that are visible.

Important Note:  If you do not want to take a chance on your stamped concrete cracking after a few years, my advice is to invest in a Paver Patio.   Each paver has a control joint running around the perimeter and pavers are guaranteed for life.  Warning: A paver patio costs more than a stamped concrete patio.   

Benefits of Stamped Concrete:

• Design flexibility
• Imitates nature
• Permanent application
• Speedy installation
• Cost competitive
• Low maintenance

While filling the same construction needs as regular concrete, stamped concrete can also serve as your decorative finish. With its combined characteristics of beauty, strength and easy maintenance, stamped concrete is ideal for just about any architecturally-enhanced project.

​

Stamped concrete duplicates nature's texture with incredible realism and integrity. It is the method of choice when pouring new concrete.
