What do we mean by Stamped Concrete?

Stamped concrete is a way to achieve the same effect as traditional paving materials such as cobblestone, brick, slate, etcetera at a better price and with a higher level of structural integrity. Stamped concrete long outlasts other pavement methods and is more affordable and dependable a method.

Going with stamped concrete is like ordering a la carte as opposed to the fixed menu. As opposed to masonry pavers or natural stone, you can pick and choose its shape, texture, pattern, and color. While it’s impossible to find the exact stone or surface in the natural world to fit each and every one of your needs, stamped concrete makes your personal desires a reality to blend flawlessly with the existing design of your property.

The Upkeep of Stamped Concrete

With the right upkeep, stamped concrete will last just as long as standard concrete. For this reason, it’s a great option if you’re looking for a long-lasting and sturdy solution.

We will apply a clear seal to your stamped concrete at least four weeks after it has been poured. This amount of time is necessary to allow the concrete to achieve adequate moisture and temperature levels it needs. Once applied, the clear seal will keep impurities and stains out of the stamped concrete.

Even if the concrete has been sealed well, it will still need to be properly maintained, depending on much use it gets. Use a mild detergent or a power wash from time to time to keep it from getting overly dirty. Always remove freshly fallen snow, and particularly during its first year, avoid using ice melt on your stamped concrete. Keep the original gleam of your concrete over time by reapplying a fresh coat of clear seal annually or biannually.
