Stamped decorative concrete with stone pattern in Greenville, NC

Popular Stamped Concrete Patterns

We offer a wide variety of stamp patterns to match any style:

Natural Stone

Create the look of flagstone, slate, or fieldstone with realistic texture and irregular edges. Perfect for patios and walkways that blend with natural landscaping.

Brick and Cobblestone

Get the classic appeal of brick pavers or old-world cobblestone. These patterns work great for driveways, entries, and courtyards. They provide traditional charm without the settling and weed growth common with real pavers.

Wood Plank

Achieve the warmth of wood decking with the durability of concrete. Wood-plank stamped concrete looks amazing on patios and indoor spaces, and it will never rot, splinter, or need staining.

Tile and Geometric

Choose from Mediterranean tile patterns, modern geometric designs, or custom layouts. These work beautifully for pool decks, outdoor kitchens, and contemporary spaces.

Custom Designs

We can combine patterns, add borders, or create unique layouts to match your specific vision. The possibilities are nearly endless.

Color Options and Finishing Touches

The right color brings your stamped concrete to life. We offer several coloring methods:

  • Integral Color: Mixed throughout the concrete for uniform, long-lasting color that will not wear off.
  • Color Hardener: Applied to the surface before stamping for vibrant, durable color that adds extra strength.
  • Antiquing Stain: Applied after stamping to create depth and highlight the texture, making patterns look more realistic.
  • Multiple Colors: We can blend colors to create natural variations like you see in real stone.
  • Sealers: We finish with a high-quality sealer that protects the color, enhances the appearance, and makes maintenance easy.

Popular color choices include earth tones like tans, browns, and grays, as well as warmer reds and cooler slate tones. We will show you samples and help you choose colors that complement your home and landscaping.

Why Choose Stamped Concrete

Stamped concrete offers advantages over both plain concrete and natural materials:

  • Affordable Luxury: Get the high-end look of stone or brick at half the cost or less.
  • Durability: Properly installed stamped concrete lasts 25 years or more with basic maintenance.
  • Low Maintenance: No weeds growing between pavers, no individual pieces to reset, just occasional cleaning and resealing.
  • Slip Resistance: Textured patterns provide good traction, making stamped concrete safe for pool decks and walkways.
  • Customization: Create a unique look that reflects your personal style and complements your home.
  • Increased Property Value: Attractive decorative concrete adds curb appeal and makes your home more appealing to buyers.
  • Faster Installation: Stamped concrete goes in faster than laying individual pavers or natural stone.

Our Stamped Concrete Installation Process

Creating beautiful stamped concrete requires skill and attention to detail:

Step 1: Design Consultation

We meet with you to discuss pattern options, colors, and design ideas. You will see samples and get expert recommendations.

Step 2: Site Preparation

We prepare the site just like any concrete project with proper excavation, grading, and base installation.

Step 3: Concrete Pour and Coloring

We pour the concrete and apply color hardener or integral color as planned.

Step 4: Stamping

Working quickly while the concrete is still workable, we press stamp mats into the surface to create the pattern. This step requires experience and timing to get right.

Step 5: Antiquing and Sealing

After the concrete cures, we apply antiquing stain for depth and a high-quality sealer for protection and shine.
