Stamped & Decorative Concrete
Get the high-end look of stone, brick, or tile without the high-end price tag.
Beautiful Decorative Concrete for Your Home
You want your home to look great, but premium materials like natural stone and brick pavers come with premium price tags. Stamped and decorative concrete gives you the look you love at a fraction of the cost, and it requires far less maintenance over the years.
At JobDone Quincy Concrete Works, we create custom stamped concrete that mimics the appearance of expensive materials while providing the durability and longevity of quality concrete. Whether you want the look of cobblestone, slate, brick, or wood planks, we can design a surface that fits your vision and budget.
Why Homeowners Love Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete combines beauty with practicality. Here is what makes it such a popular choice for patios, walkways, driveways, and pool decks:
- •Affordability: Get the appearance of premium materials at a lower cost per square foot with better long-term value.
- •Endless Options: Choose from dozens of patterns and colors to match your home style and landscaping.
- •Low Maintenance: Unlike pavers that shift or natural stone that needs sealing, stamped concrete stays put and cleans easily.
- •Durability: Properly installed stamped concrete lasts as long as regular concrete, often 25 years or more.
- •Unique Designs: Combine multiple patterns, add borders, or create custom layouts that make your property stand out.
Popular Stamped Concrete Patterns
We offer a wide range of stamping patterns to create the exact look you want for your project. Some of our most requested patterns include cobblestone for a classic European look, slate and flagstone for a natural appearance, brick patterns for traditional charm, ashlar stone for an elegant upscale feel, wood plank for a rustic deck appearance, and random stone for organic, natural layouts.
Each pattern can be customized with different colors and accents. We can use integral color mixed into the concrete, surface stains for rich tones, or antiquing techniques to create depth and realistic texture. You choose the combination that works best for your patio, driveway, or walkway.
How We Create Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete requires skill and timing to get right. We have the experience to create beautiful results that last.
Preparation and Base Work
We prepare your site the same way we would for any concrete project, with proper excavation, a compacted base, and correct grading for drainage. This foundation ensures your stamped surface stays level and crack-free.
Concrete Pour and Color Application
We pour the concrete and add color either by mixing it into the concrete or applying it to the surface. Timing is critical here because the concrete needs to be firm enough to hold the stamp pattern but soft enough to imprint cleanly.
Stamping and Finishing
We press stamping mats into the concrete to create the pattern, carefully aligning each section for a seamless look. After stamping, we apply release agents and accent colors to enhance the texture. Once cured, we seal the surface to protect it and bring out the colors.
Caring for Your Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete is easy to maintain. Sweep it regularly to remove dirt and debris, rinse it with a hose when needed, and reseal it every 2 to 3 years to keep the colors vibrant and protect against stains. Avoid using harsh chemicals or deicing salts that can damage the sealer. With minimal effort, your stamped concrete will look great for decades.
