Concrete is durable and cost-effect material for driveways, patios, and walkways. But did you also know that it could be aesthetically pleasing? Stamped concrete is growing in popularity as design choice for hardscaping. The process mimics high-end materials such as brick and stone pavers while being just a fraction of the cost. Take a moment to read about the advantages of stamped concrete for your next project!
Many Choices and Aesthetics
Stamped concrete comes in a variety of colors, patterns and textures. The stamping process can mimic almost any type of surface – marble, lumber, pavers, etc. Stamped concrete is a budget-friendly way to add a decorative touch to a landscape, instead just a plain concrete slab.
Easy Installation
Stamped concrete is one of the least labor-intensive options for paving. Instead of hauling and laying each paving stone individually, stamped concrete is mixed, poured, and stamped all in one go. Each stamping pattern has its own individual stamp and method – some use large rollers, while other use large rubber platforms with carved designs. The time saved with stamping will also save you money – the less time spent in your yard, the less you owe your laborers!
Low Maintenance
Unlike pavers, concrete never needs to be reset or replaced. Maintenance is simple – make sure to clear off excess debris such as leaves or trash, and spray your stamped concrete down with a pressure washer. Concrete also lasts longer than other materials, is durable in nearly every type of environment, and holds up better to traffic and wear than pavers and most natural stones.
