Stamped & Decorative Concrete
Get the elegant look of stone, brick, or tile at a fraction of the cost with stamped concrete.
Why Stamped Concrete Makes Sense for Diamond Bar Homes
You want a beautiful outdoor space, but natural stone pavers or slate can cost a fortune to install and maintain. Stamped concrete gives you the high-end look of expensive materials without the high-end price tag. We can create patterns that mimic cobblestone, flagstone, brick, wood planks, or tile. From a few feet away, most people cannot tell the difference between stamped concrete and the real thing.
The best part is that stamped concrete in Diamond Bar stays looking great with minimal effort. You do not have to worry about individual pavers shifting, weeds growing between stones, or grout cracking and needing replacement. The entire surface is one solid piece that just needs occasional cleaning and resealing every few years.
Design Options That Match Your Style
Stamped concrete offers more design flexibility than most people realize. Here is what you can customize to create exactly the look you want.
- •Pattern Selection: Choose from dozens of stamp patterns including slate, flagstone, cobblestone, brick, ashlar, wood grain, and geometric designs.
- •Color Options: Integral color goes throughout the concrete, while color hardener creates depth and variation for a more natural look.
- •Texture Choices: From smooth and polished to rough and natural, the texture affects both appearance and slip resistance.
- •Border Treatments: Add contrasting borders or bands to frame your patio or driveway for a custom look.
- •Saw-Cut Patterns: Clean geometric patterns cut into the surface after pouring create a modern, architectural appearance.
Where You Can Use Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete works for almost any outdoor surface. We install it for patios, driveways, walkways, pool decks, entryways, courtyards, and even interior floors. Each location might call for different patterns or colors to match your home and landscaping.
Popular combinations include slate patterns for patios and pool areas, brick or cobblestone for driveways and walkways, and wood plank patterns for porches and covered areas. We help you choose patterns and colors that look natural for your application and blend with your existing hardscaping.
The Stamped Concrete Installation Process
Proper Base and Pour
Stamped concrete starts just like any other concrete project with proper site prep, base installation, and forming. The concrete gets poured at the right thickness for your project, typically 4 to 6 inches for driveways and patios.
Color and Stamping
While the concrete is still workable, we add color either throughout the mix or as a surface hardener. Then we press textured stamps into the surface to create the pattern. This step requires skill and timing. The concrete has to be firm enough to hold the pattern but still soft enough to take a deep impression.
Sealing for Protection
After the concrete cures, we apply a sealer that protects the surface from stains, weather, and wear. The sealer also enhances the color and gives the surface a slight sheen. Resealing every 2 to 3 years keeps your stamped concrete looking new.
