Stamped & Decorative Concrete

Beauty Meets Durability

You love the look of natural stone or brick pavers, but you know they come with issues. Individual pavers shift, settle, sprout weeds, and require constant maintenance. Stamped concrete gives you the high-end appearance you want with none of the headaches. One solid surface, custom colors and patterns, and the proven durability of concrete.

We've been installing stamped and decorative concrete in West Lafayette since 2024, creating custom surfaces for driveways, patios, walkways, and pool decks. The process involves pouring concrete and then pressing texture molds into the surface before it fully cures. The result looks remarkably like natural stone, slate, brick, or even wood, but it's actually one continuous concrete slab that won't shift or grow weeds.

Unlimited Design Possibilities

The options for stamped concrete are extensive. We have dozens of patterns and can create custom colors to match your vision. Here are some popular choices:

• •Ashlar slate: The most popular pattern. Creates the look of natural cut stone with random rectangular shapes.
• •Cobblestone: Mimics old European cobblestone streets with rounded edges and varied stone sizes.
• •Brick: Classic running bond or herringbone brick patterns without the individual brick maintenance.
• •Flagstone: Irregular natural stone shapes with wide grout lines for a rustic look.
• •Wood plank: Simulates wood decking with realistic grain patterns and board widths.

Colors range from subtle earth tones to bold contrasts. We can even combine multiple colors in one project for added depth and realism. The final step is sealing, which protects the color, enhances the sheen, and makes maintenance easy.

Where Stamped Concrete Works Best

Patios are the most common use. A stamped concrete patio gives you a custom outdoor living space that looks high-end but won't break your budget.Pool decks benefit from stamped concrete's slip-resistant texture and one-piece construction that doesn't shift like pavers.

Walkways and entryways create a welcoming first impression. Stamped concrete walkways can mimic expensive natural stone at a fraction of the cost. Drivewaysare trickier because heavy vehicle traffic can wear patterns over time, but with proper sealing and maintenance, stamped concrete driveways can look great for years.

Interior floors, basement floors, and garage floors can also be stamped and stained for a unique look. The process is the same, but we adjust the sealer based on whether it's interior or exterior.

How to Keep Stamped Concrete Looking Good

Stamped concrete requires less maintenance than pavers, but it's not zero maintenance. Here's what you need to know. Resealing every 2-3 years protects the color and surface. We can handle this for you or show you how to do it yourself. Regular cleaning with a pressure washer or hose keeps it looking fresh. Avoid harsh chemicals and deicing salts in winter, which can damage the surface.

If you already have stamped concrete that's faded or damaged, we offer restoration services. We can clean, reseal, and even recolor stamped concrete to bring it back to life.
