Why Concrete?
Upgrade your home with a colorful new driveway or patio
Concrete is a better choice than asphalt, bricks, marble, or other synthetic materials. Concrete requires almost zero maintenance. After two coats are applied by a concrete specialist, your concrete is ready to go. You may need to apply another coat of sealant every few years depending on how much you use the concrete specialist. Concrete is cheaper per square foot than brick and marble. Concrete is malleable before it cures and sets. Concrete can be made into any shape that you want. Concrete is water-resistant, making it ideal for driveways and countertops. Concrete driveways will not crack if properly installed.
A water base stain can be chosen in a variety of colors, including orange, green, red, and brown. There are also options for black, grey, and purple. Stains can be applied to pre-existing or newly poured concrete slabs. The stain’s color will vary depending on whether it is applied to a white or grey surface. Acid stains will bond to concrete surfaces and not chip or peel. Water-based stains are less harmful to the environment and can be applied more opaquely. Stains can bring your designs to life. This is just one step in concrete installation, and it is extremely cost-effective.
The right lighting will bring out the architectural details of your home. A stamped or stained concrete patio in your backyard is durable and eye-catching. There are many stains that can be used to create marble-like or layered effects.

Why choose stamped concrete?
The most durable and longest-lasting paving material, stamped concrete requires less maintenance than regular replacements. It is recommended that stamped concrete be cleaned and sealed every two to three years. However, this will vary depending on how much foot or car traffic the area has, the weather conditions, chemical usage, and other factors. A basic cleaning is enough to clean the concrete with a pressure washer or garden hose, mild detergent, and a push-broom. The surface is stronger and more resistant to abrasion. Sealers and color hardeners help prevent water, stains and chemicals from getting in. It is still a good idea for oil, grease, and other spillages to be removed immediately. Learn how to seal and clean stamped concrete.
When properly installed, stamped concrete is extremely resistant to cracking. Stamped concrete can withstand minor cracking, even though they may appear to be small. The cracks will blend into the pattern and join lines so it is difficult to see. There are ways to hide cracks that can be an eyesore. For basic steps to reduce cracking and improve performance, see Why Concrete Cracks.
Stamped concrete can be affected by weathering, erosion, dirt, and traffic. Regular cleaning and resealing concrete can help minimize color changes. You can often restore concrete to its original color by cleaning it and resealing, even if it has been affected by years of neglect.
