Stamped concrete is a versatile, inexpensive and durable solution to replicate beautiful paving materials such as cobblestone, slate and brick. It is was beautiful as these materials, its biggest advantages being that it is less expensive, more durable and much easier to install.

Natural stone and masonry pavers don’t offer such a wide array of choices. Stamped concrete can match the personal preferences of the homeowner much better, because it can be shaped in pretty much any type of texture and color. All you need to do is to pick your favorite stone, and then have its impression pressed in the concrete. This makes it very easy to integrate your driveways into any landscape design, without having to spend a lot of money for that.

 Low Maintenance

Thanks to ist durability and endurance, stamped concrete is one of the best choices available today. Much more beautiful than traditional concrete, stamped concrete has the same excellent properties that can make it last for a very long time. It only needs minimal maintenance to preserve its look.

Stamped concrete is protected by a clear seal which gets applied  after pouring. This sealer is also a cure which allows the concrete to achieve its design strength. The result is a very strong surface, very resistant to dirt, grease and stains. Depending on the usage, you need to follow the proper maintenance rules. In order to prevent dirt buildup, you have to clean the surface with a mild detergent. Power washing is also effective. You should avoid using deicing salts, especially in the first year. Besides, you need to remove all fresh snow as quickly as possible. If you want to maintain the glossy look of the stamped concrete, you should apply the clear seal yearly or every two years.
