Colored & stamped concrete is concrete that is patterned, textured and stained to resemble brick, slate, flagstone, natural stone, tile and even wood. And due to it's very low cost, compared to some of these materials, stamped concrete is rapidly becoming a very popular choice for homeowners and developers alike.
     We have a very wide verity of patterns and colors that we can install to beautify pool decks, driveways, entryways, courtyards, sidewalks and patios. Here are just a few samples for you to look at and get some ideas. Please feel free to contact us with any questions: (760) 788-8140 or to use our Contact Form - click here.
 
Colors and patterns for stamped concrete are often chosen to blend with other stone or tile elements at the residence.  Designs incorporating steps, courtyards, and built-in grills can be achieved. Stamped concrete can also be blended with other decorative concrete elements such as exposed aggregate finishes and acid-etch staining. Stamped concrete is also very cost effective as it is usually 1/3 less the price of installing natural materials.
 
 

The base color is actaully mixed into the cement mix, so the concrete itself is colorized below the suface. So, like stucco, color is perminent and when maintained properly, does not need to be re-colorized periodically. After installing and stamping the colored concrete we can then apply stains and/or acid treatments to attain the desired effect.

Does Colored Concrete Fade?
     Cleaning and sealing colored and stamped concrete should be done on a regular basis just like any other home maintenance. The frequency will depend on exposure to foot and vehicle traffic, sunlight, water and other chemicals.
     We recommend resealing every 2 or 3 years. If you wait longer, you may notice the color fade slightly. But just like waxing a car, when you reseal your stamped concrete, the color will be as vibrant as the day it was first installed.  If color fades, there are ways to renew it, but keeping it sealed is your best defense.
