What is Stamped Concrete?
Stamped concrete is an aesthetic finishing procedure by which we press and stamp into new, fresh concrete various designs and textures; and therefore can create the look of brick, stone, tile, wood, etc., and so forth. Stamped concrete offers the aesthetic you want from high-end products such as brick, stone, tile, wood, etc., while providing the long-term durability of concrete.
To accomplish this, we add coloring to the concrete and use a variety of special molds or tools called “stamps” in order to press them into the fresh concrete when it has just been laid and prior to full curing. Once completed, the finished product will have the look of expensive materials such as brick, stone, tile, wood, etc., while offering the structural integrity and durability of concrete.
Stamped Concrete Designs: Unlimited Possibilities
We offer an extensive array of stamped concrete designs to suit any style:
Stone Texture Patterns: Natural stone patterns such as slate, flagstone, and fieldstone texture patterns are great for blending with a Pacific Northwest landscape.

Wood Grain Designs: A rustic look with the durability of a wood plank design.

Stamped Concrete Installation Process
Our installation process ensures flawless results:
- Base Site Preparation & Grading: We will properly grade & drain your site before the application of the new base.
- Concrete Base Pour: We pour high-quality concrete mix to the required thickness.
- Color Application: The color hardener or integral color will be applied to create the color that you want.
- Application of Stamping Patterns: At the appropriate stage in the installation process, we will use specialized stamps to imprint your design into the wet cement.
- Detailing & Finishing: After the concrete has set, we hand tool all the edges & details to give it a natural look.
- Protection Sealing: A high-quality sealant is then applied to help preserve the color & design.
Our stamped concrete installers have many years of experience with every detail of an installation, so you can rest assured that your new stamped concrete will look great for years to come.
Is Stamped Concrete Expensive?
Stamped concrete is more expensive in terms of upfront costs when compared to regular concrete; however, it is typically less costly than the real natural material that it mimics. These are some of the key factors to consider:
Natural Stone or Brick Pavers: Can be 2 to 3 times as expensive as stamped concrete
Labor Expenses: Associated with installing pavers, add cost to installation
Maintenance Over Time: Is much less with stamped concrete
Increased Property Value: Typically, the increase in property value will exceed the initial investment
Considering durability, low maintenance, and appearance, stamped concrete provides an exceptional value per dollar spent.
Stamped Concrete for Renton's Climate
Stamped concrete is an excellent option for the Pacific Northwest:
Sealed Surface Protection: The sealed surface of stamped concrete helps to prevent rainwater from seeping into your stamped concrete (due to heavy rainfall in Renton)
Textured Non-Slip Finish: A textured finish provides a non-slip surface for those slippery days when the ground is wet
Moss and Mildew Resistance: High-quality sealants can help to reduce moss and mildew that thrive in damp environments
Temperature Durability: And finally, when properly installed, stamped concrete withstands extreme temperature changes with ease.
When choosing sealants or installing your stamped concrete, we focus on products & methods that have been specifically engineered for our region.
