Stamped concrete

Concrete that doesn't look like concrete

Stamped concrete is poured like any other slab, then colored and pressed with pattern mats while it is still workable, so the surface takes on the texture of stone, slate, brick or wood. Once it cures, it is sealed to bring out the color and protect it.

It is a timing-sensitive craft. The crew has a short window to stamp the whole surface evenly, which is where experience shows. That is the kind of work we have been doing since 1996.

Local know-how

Sealing in a wet climate

Decorative concrete outdoors in western Washington looks its best when the sealer is kept up. Rain, moss and UV wear it down over time. We will tell you how often to reseal and what to use. [PLACEHOLDER: recommended reseal interval]

Questions

Decorative Concrete FAQ

Have a question that isn't here? Call 360-463-1098.

What patterns can I choose from?

[PLACEHOLDER: list of stamp patterns or a link to photos] Common choices include stone, slate, cobblestone and brick, and many patterns can be combined with plain borders.

Is stamped concrete slippery when wet?

Sealers can make the surface slicker. An anti-slip additive can be mixed into the sealer for extra grip, which we recommend for walkways, steps and pool areas.

How often does stamped concrete need resealing?

Every few years outdoors, depending on sun, traffic and weather. [PLACEHOLDER: recommended reseal interval]

Can you stamp my existing concrete?

Stamping is done in fresh concrete, so an existing slab usually needs to be replaced or covered with an overlay. [PLACEHOLDER: confirm whether overlays are offered]
