What is Stamped Concrete? 

In recent years, stamped or decorative concrete has become a popular option for residential buildings. This is because of its flexibility and affordability. Stamped concrete is made by using concrete stamps to imitate the look of natural paving stones. By stamping and staining the concrete before it has dried, you engrain a beautiful design into the slab. Other additions are also added to ensure quality, including dry shakes, color hardeners, powder releases, integral colors, and acid stains.

How Much Does Stamped Concrete Cost? 

Since stamping concrete installation takes a lot of time and effort, it's better to let experts do it. The price of stamped concrete fluctuates based on your chosen design and color scheme. You should expect to pay anywhere from $8 to $24 per square foot.

How Affordable is Stamped Concrete

You can usually find a design that works within your price range with stamped concrete. If you're trying to save money, a monochromatic design is your best bet. This design won't cost much more than a standard concrete slab. The more the stamped pattern complexity and the number of designs and colors you want to use, the higher the final cost.

Is Stamped Concrete Cheaper than Pavers

The great thing about stamped concrete is that it is more affordable than pavers, but can be made to look just like them! Pavers are costlier than concrete because of the extra time and effort needed to set each block.

Stamped Concrete Designs 

Stamped concrete allows for nearly infinite customization. While the concrete is still wet, the stamps may be pushed into the material to create any desired design. Stamped concrete is a great opportunity to show off your outdoor design skills for you to express yourself creatively! 

Colors

To get the best results when choosing the design of your stamped concrete, color is essential. The color palettes are typically earthy tones or shades of gray that complement the decor of your house. You can also stain or tint the concrete with a wide variety of colors. Your outdoor area may have any number of different styles, and we could go on and on about them, but ultimately, the decision is yours. Create whatever you can imagine with stamped concrete.

Stamped Concrete Patios

In most cases, stamped concrete is used for a decorative concrete patio. As opposed to driveways, a patio does not have to hold the weight of your vehicles. Also, your stamped concrete patio is a great base to build your outdoor design upon. It can give some inspiration for future landscaping ideas like retaining walls, pool decks, or pergolas.
