Stamped & Decorative Concrete

You do not have to choose between beauty and durability. Stamped and decorative concrete gives you the elegant look of high-end materials like natural stone, brick, or slate while keeping the strength and low maintenance of traditional concrete. Here in Bowling Green, KY, homeowners are discovering that decorative concrete offers the best of both worlds.

We specialize in transforming ordinary concrete into stunning surfaces that look like they cost twice as much. Whether you want a patio that looks like flagstone, a driveway with a brick pattern, or a pool deck that mimics natural stone, we can create the exact look you are imagining while giving you a surface that will last for decades.

What is Stamped Concrete?

Stamped concrete is regular concrete that we texture and color to look like other materials. We pour the concrete just like any other project, but before it fully hardens, we press patterns into the surface using special stamps. These stamps create realistic textures that mimic brick, stone, wood, or tile.

The benefits go beyond just appearance:

• •Cost savings: Get the look of expensive materials for a fraction of the price
• •Less maintenance: No weeds growing between pavers or grout lines to clean
• •Longer lifespan: Will not shift, settle, or need individual pieces replaced
• •Endless designs: Choose from dozens of patterns and color combinations
• •Increased value: Enhances your home's curb appeal and resale potential

Your Design Options

One of the best things about decorative concrete is the variety of looks you can achieve. We offer numerous patterns, colors, and finishes to match any style.

Popular Patterns

Our most requested patterns include ashlar slate, random stone, cobblestone, brick herringbone, and wood plank. Each pattern creates a distinct look. Ashlar slate gives you an elegant natural stone appearance, perfect for patios and walkways. Brick patterns work great for driveways and traditional home styles. Wood plank creates a rustic deck look without the maintenance issues of real wood.

Color Choices

We can color your concrete using integral color mixed into the concrete or color hardeners applied to the surface. You can choose natural earth tones like tan, brown, and gray, or go bolder with reds, blues, or greens. We can also blend multiple colors to create a more realistic, natural appearance that mimics real stone or aged brick.

Texture and Finish

Beyond the stamped pattern, we can adjust the texture to match your needs. For driveways, we recommend a slightly rougher texture for better traction. For patios, we can create a smoother finish that is comfortable for bare feet. We seal all decorative concrete to protect the color and make cleaning easier.

How We Create Your Decorative Concrete

Creating beautiful stamped concrete requires proper timing, the right materials, and experienced hands. Here is how we do it:

First, we prepare the site just like any concrete project, with proper excavation, base installation, and forming. Then we pour the concrete and begin the decorative process. We apply color hardeners or release agents as needed, then we carefully stamp the patterns into the surface while the concrete is still workable. This requires precision because we only have a short window to get it right.

After stamping, we let the concrete cure properly, then we clean and seal the surface. The sealer enhances the color, protects against stains, and makes your decorative concrete easier to maintain. We recommend resealing every 2 to 3 years to keep your concrete looking its best.
