Swatches are approximations. We'll bring physical samples to your site visit.
Natural gray
Sandstone
Desert tan
Terracotta
Charcoal
Sage gray
Ashlar slate, cobblestone, wood plank, and running-bond brick patterns.
Color mixed throughout, so chips and wear show less.
Acid and water-based stains for variegated, natural tones.
The surface paste is washed off to reveal the stone. Great traction.
Decorative concrete looks best when it's sealed. We apply sealer after curing and recommend resealing every two to three years, depending on sun exposure and traffic.
Around pools, we use sealers with slip-resistant additives, because glossy sealers on a stamped surface can get slick when wet.
Each has trade-offs. Stamped concrete has no joints for weeds or ants and is a single solid slab. Pavers can be lifted and reset individually if the ground shifts. We'll talk through which fits your site.
Existing slabs in good condition can often be stained and sealed. Stamping requires fresh concrete, so it would mean an overlay or a new pour.
