Concrete has come a long way from the plain grey days. With nearly unlimited color and texture combinations to choose from, you can create whatever look you want with decorative concrete.

Decorative Concrete Construction

There are so many ways to customize your concrete now that they are too numerous to list. However, the two most common ways that we can create a custom look are colored concrete and stamped concrete.

Colored concrete comes in two main categories: acid-based stains and acrylic stains. Acid-based stains can create beautiful patterns in unique earth-toned shades like terra cotta or tanned leather. Acrylic stains come in a larger variety of colors, including metallic, and can give you bold colors like blue or red, and range from translucent to opaque. These can create grandiose statements for areas like a garage floor or pool deck.

Adding stamped concrete is an easy method for creating a textured look and making your walkway, patio or driveway even more eye-catching. Stamping, unlike staining, can only be done on newly poured concrete. With any number of stamps to choose from, you can create a driveway that looks like brick, or a patio that looks like stone. This can create a dramatic element to any concrete and make your space unique to you.

What are the benefits of choosing stamped or decorative concrete over regular?

Stamped and decorative concrete are an excellent choice for any residential or commercial property as they offer a range of benefits. For starters, they look great – they can easily be customized to your aesthetic preferences and can provide a stunning look that will last for many years.

In addition, stamped and decorative concrete is highly durable and low maintenance – no need to worry about regular sealing or resealing. The colors resist fading from sun exposure, and the surfaces have great slip resistance even when wet. Most importantly, the installation process for stamped and decorative concrete is much faster than traditional poured concrete – meaning you’ll have your finished project sooner!

Is the installation process different from traditional poured concrete?

If you are looking to construct an entirely new driveway, walkway, patio, or slab that has decorative or stamped concrete, the process looks similar to installing traditional concrete, just with the added steps at the end of adding the stamping or decoration.

Another option is to update your existing concrete. Adding stamping or decoration to your traditional poured concrete is substantially easier than starting from scratch. Unlike with traditional poured concrete, there is no need to lay a solid foundation as the surface can be installed directly onto your existing concrete. Additionally, pre-made molds are used to create the desired patterned look – eliminating the need for trowels and stamps, and reducing wasted time and materials. The finishing process also requires fewer steps and can be completed quickly, allowing you to enjoy your new outdoor space sooner!

Staining concrete is a simple process that typically involves applying a chemical stain to the surface of the concrete and allowing it to sit for some time. The stain will penetrate the surface of the concrete, which can then be sealed and polished to protect it from wear and tear. Generally, you first need to clean the surface of any debris or dirt, then apply the stain using either a brush or roller, waiting for up to 5 minutes before wiping away any excess. Once dry, you may wish to seal and polish your stained concrete surface with a sealing compound.

While you can DIY concrete staining, it’s always best to trust the pros with jobs like this.

We also offer a variety of services that include concrete slab repair, concrete step repair, and more.

How long will this project take?

Installing stamped concrete usually takes about two days to complete, depending on the size of the project. The first day involves preparing the area and laying down the stampable concrete mix using a bull float or power trowel. Once that is done, decorative stamps are applied to create the desired look, and then texturing tools can be used for finer details. On the second day, the project is sealed with a clear coat that protects it from damage and UV rays. Finally, color hardeners are added to produce a stunning look that will last for many years.

Can you tear out and replace my old concrete?

Yes, we can tear out and replace your old concrete. This process typically takes two to three days depending on the size of the project. The first day involves breaking up and removing the existing concrete, followed by preparing the ground for installation of new concrete mix. On the second day, fresh concrete is poured into place and leveled to create a smooth finish. Finally, on the third day curing and sealing of the newly laid concrete floor is performed to ensure a strong and durable surface that will last for years to come.

How long will I have to wait to use my new concrete surface?

Once the concrete has been cured and sealed, it will be ready for use right away. However, since the curing process takes some time, you should wait at least four weeks before using it heavily or putting any furniture on top of it to ensure that the surface is strong and durable enough to withstand the weight.
