Stamped Concrete for your Backyard, Driveway, Walkway and Front Entrances
Looking for a new and unique way to finish your concrete? As outlined in our previous article, there are many different types of concrete finishes to choose from, including brushed concrete, exposed aggregate concrete, stamped concrete and limestone-finished concrete. In this article, we will go into more detail about a popular concrete finish that combines the stylish aesthetic preferences of interlocking stones and the versatility of concrete.
What is Stamped Concrete
A stamped concrete finish is a type of concrete finish that is created by impressing textured forms onto the surface of the concrete before it has set. There are many patterns available, with the most popular being the texture that creates the look of natural stone. You can also enhance this texture with the application of colour to match the type of stone you like or create contrast. Stamped concrete can also be used throughout the surface of the concrete project or as decorative borders.
Stamped concrete is finished with a high gloss, slip-resistant sealer to ensure easy maintenance.
Why Choose Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete is the perfect way to add some extra flair to your driveway, front entrance, back patio, or pool deck. You can choose from a variety of textures and colours to create a look that’s perfect for your home. Plus, you get all the benefits of concrete as stamped concrete is incredibly durable and will last for years with minimal maintenance (when properly sealed).
How Much Does Stamped Concrete Cost
Installing stamped concrete is typically more than the cost of installing regular concrete, and ranges from $20-$22 per square foot. Different factors such as the size and shape of the outdoor space and where the stamped concrete is applied will impact the price of your stamped concrete project.
