“Decorative concrete has become more popular than stone, brick and tile for patios because it costs less, is better in quality and it has the unlimited ability to be created into whatever you want as far as color, texture, and pattern go.”

Back yards are being transformed into luxurious extensions of the house. They’re the new favorite room to relax, entertain, and cook. And the heart and soul of the backyard resort area is the concrete patio.

Some of the many benefits of concrete stamping include:

Versatility

Choose from a endless selections of textures and colors

Concrete patios are unlike any other type of surface. The look of poured concrete varies more than any other type of material used for patios, including brick.

Durability

Concrete stamping will hold up to a wide variety of weather conditions and abuse.

Whereas traditional pavers and cobblestone settle unevenly during the freeze/thaw cycle of winter, stamped concrete is reinforced with 3/8-inch steel reinforcing rods placed 24 inches on-center-each-way, right in the middle of the concrete.  This steel reinforcement gives the concrete the necessary tensile strength to resist the constant heaving produced by the freezing and thawing of the ground.

Stamped concrete is also better than pavers and cobblestone in spring and summer.  Pavers and cobblestones are susceptible to joint deterioration if sand is not constantly brushed into all the joints.  This joint deterioration results in ant hills, growth of unsightly grass and weeds and produces dangerous tripping hazards when the individual pavers settle unevenly. 

Affordability
